Growth & Development

• Work closely with experienced AI engineers and technical leads
• Progressively take ownership of components and workflows over time
• Gain hands-on experience building production-grade generative AI systems

Why Join?

• Work on cutting-edge generative AI systems at scale, using cutting-edge AI assistants in your day-to-day work
• Collaborate with a specialised AI team spanning Data Scientists, AI Engineers, and ML Optimisation specialists
• Learn foundational patterns and frameworks that shape how the organisation approaches agentic AI

What Can You Expect?

We're seeking a Junior AI Engineer – Agentic Workflows to support the development of generative AI systems and contribute to reliable, production-ready workflows.

You will work closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to translate business problems into structured solutions, gaining hands-on experience in designing and implementing agentic workflows.

You will contribute to multi-step systems using LangGraph (or similar) and interact with leading LLM providers, while building strong engineering habits with tools such as Claude Code and similar assistants.

A key part of the role is learning to apply evaluation, quality, and observability practices to improve reliability, cost awareness, and maintainability in a guided environment.

And you might be thinking: This is great, what will my day-to-day be like, at TDC? I’m glad you asked – I asked myself the same question at the time.

As a Junior AI Engineer – Agentic Workflows you will have the opportunity to:

• Contribute to Agentic Workflows: Support the design and implementation of agentic workflows using LangGraph (or similar), following established patterns and guidance from senior engineers.

• Problem Solving & Solution Delivery: Assist in translating business problems into structured technical solutions, helping define components, workflow steps, and trade-offs for well-scoped use cases.

• Build Skills, Tools, and Agents: Implement reusable skills, tools, and agents as part of larger workflows, ensuring code is maintainable, testable, and well documented.

• Apply Engineering Judgement: Learn to choose the right building blocks for a solution by applying team best practices around skills, tools, agents, and workflows.

• Model Integration: Support the integration and operation of LLM providers, contributing to improvements in latency, cost, and output quality.

• Evaluation & Quality Support: Help implement evaluations, datasets, metrics, and guardrails to validate behaviour and monitor regressions over time.

• Data Structuring & Validation: Contribute to typed schemas and structured outputs for reliable data flows, tool contracts, and downstream integrations.

• Observability & Debugging: Help implement logging, tracing, debugging, and monitoring practices for agentic systems.

• AI-Accelerated Engineering: Use AI assistants in day-to-day work for prototyping, testing, refactoring, and documentation while strengthening engineering fundamentals.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and product teams to deliver useful agentic capabilities, with support from more experienced team members.

• Work alongside experts in various technological domains.

• Enhance your skills with real-world experience

• Contribute to a team that values your input and creativity
