Artificial Intelligence Engineer


London, Marylebone (Hybrid / Onsite) Competitive salary + significant equity

Do you want to build the "Force Multiplier" for a £400B industry?


We are at the forefront of the shift toward Agentic AI—systems that use reasoning loops to independently execute complex business processes. At Prolo, one engineer building an effective agentic fleet can automate the output of an entire traditional department.


This is a rare opportunity to join a category-defining, seed-funded startup from the ground up, where your work won’t just ship features—it will redefine how millions of professionals in the construction industry plan and operate.


Why Join Prolo?

  • Founding Team Impact: Shape the product, architecture, and engineering culture from day one.
  • Technical Depth: Work with cutting-edge AI (OpenAI, Semantic Kernel), graph databases (Neo4j), and modern infrastructure.
  • Competitive Compensation: Benefit from a competitive salary plus significant equity as an early stakeholder.
  • Domain Expertise: Gain deep insights into the £400B+ UK construction industry while delivering real business impact.
  • Fast Iteration: Ship to production daily, receive direct user feedback, and see your work in customers' hands immediately.
  • Growth Opportunity: Lead and scale engineering practices as we grow, with the potential to lead specialized teams.
  • Collaborative Environment: Work directly with the founders and have a seat at the table for product strategy.
  • Modern Stack: No legacy baggage—build with best-in-class tools from the start.


About Prolo

We’re reinventing procurement for the construction industry using AI. Our conversational platform allows customers to source materials effortlessly across chat, email, and phone, saving time and money with zero setup. We are a small, ambitious team that moves fast and values high-trust collaboration.


The Role

As a Artificial Intelligence Engineer, you will be our technical authority on Agentic AI. You will design and deploy sophisticated multi-agent systems, proving concepts through rapid prototyping and scaling them into production-grade solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Agentic AI Engineering: Develop multi-agent systems using frameworks like LangGraph or CrewAI for autonomous research and automated coding.
  • Advanced RAG & Memory: Build sophisticated Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and long-term model memory.
  • Model Optimization: Fine-tune open-source models (e.g., Llama 3/4) to reduce latency and operational costs.
  • LLMOps: Implement automated "Evals" to measure hallucination rates and tool-calling accuracy.
  • Technical Leadership: Architect scalable, secure applications and advocate for best practices in automation and continuous integration.

What We’re Looking For

  • Expert Python & TypeScript: Deep proficiency in Python for production AI and strong technical fluency in TypeScript.
  • AI Frameworks: Hands-on experience with some of the following LangChain/LangGraph, LlamaIndex, PyTorch, and FastAPI.
  • Modern Infrastructure: Experience with AWS Bedrock/SageMaker and using Docker/Kubernetes to scale agent instances.
  • RAG Expertise: Proven experience building RAG systems; experience with Graph-RAG (e.g., Neo4j) is a major plus.
  • Production Pedigree: Demonstrable experience owning the design and delivery of complex AI systems in live customer environments.


Apply today and help us build the future of construction at Prolo.

Prolo Ltd is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
