Full-time
We’re looking for bright AI Masterminds to join our team
At Critical TechWorks, the AI Masterminds are developers who play a pivotal role in reimagining how software is planned, built, and operated in an AI-native world. Free from established patterns, the Masterminds will develop through entirely new engineering paradigms. We are not looking for those who optimise the present. We are looking for those who invent the future of software engineering and enable the company’s AI strategy. Acting as a bridge between business, technology, and people, the role translates ambition into execution while balancing innovation, risk, and trust. If you are passionate about technology and have the resilience to discover new ways of doing things, this is where your journey begins.
- AI System Development: Design, build, and optimise end‑to‑end AI pipelines, transforming complex requirements into scalable, production‑ready solutions.
- Model Exploration & Deployment: Develop, fine-tune, and operationalise large language models, ensuring high performance and seamless integration into BMW's platforms.
- AIOps & Automation: Implement robust CI/CD workflows for AI, automate data pipelines, orchestrate agents and ensure reliable monitoring, reporting, governance, and lifecycle management of AI systems.
- Performance Optimisation: Continuously evaluate, benchmark, and optimise AI models and services for efficiency, accuracy, and real-time performance in large-scale environments.
- Collaborative Solution Engineering: Work closely with cross-functional teams—including software engineers, data experts, and product visionaries—to engineer AI-driven solutions aligned with strategic objectives.
Whatever you’re working on, here’s the lowdown on the technical skills you’ll be developing:
- At least 5 years with a strong background in software engineering, digital platforms, and large-scale technology delivery.
- Experience defining and executing AI or technology strategies in complex environments.
- Solid understanding of AI, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI, with a practical mindset.
- Experience with Large Language Models and the applied usage patterns.
- Experience working with public cloud platforms, especially AWS, and related AI/ML technologies and services is a plus.
- We value diversity and encourage applications from individuals with varied backgrounds and experiences.
Join Critical TechWorks on our journey of innovation, excellence, and redefining the future of motion, one product at a time.
