WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU

At Ducky, we’re building magical experiences for developers by transforming how they integrate advanced AI capabilities into their products. Our mission is to build the ultimate memory system for large language models (LLMs), enabling seamless information retrieval and enhanced machine learning applications. As AI-driven applications continue to grow, we aim to bridge the gap between raw computational power and practical tools that developers need to harness it.

With increasing demand from customers and rapid advancements in the AI space, we’re scaling our team to accelerate our product’s development. We’re looking for a talented full stack software engineer who’s excited to work on impactful projects, solve challenging problems, and play a key role in shaping the future of Ducky.

AI Summit London 2025: A Complete Guide for UK AI Engineers & Recruiters

Artificial intelligence may be a border-less technology, but every ecosystem needs a beating heart where the community meets face-to-face. For the British Isles that heart is The AI Summit London, the headline AI event of London Tech Week, returning to Tobacco Dock on 11–12 June 2025. With eight content stages, 4 500+ attendees and 300 speakers spanning government, FTSE-100 giants and rocket-ship start-ups, the Summit offers a year’s worth of insight, deal-making and career acceleration in just 48 hours. Whether you are an AI engineer optimising vector databases, a data scientist pivoting into prompt ops, or a hiring manager scouring the market for talent, this handbook distils everything you need to hit the ground running—from ticket tactics and agenda highlights to networking hacks and post-event ROI.

AI Engineer World’s Fair 2025: The Complete UK Guide to June’s Unmissable AI Engineering Event

If 2024 was the year every product team rushed to bolt an LLM onto their roadmap, 2025 is when the craft of AI engineering finally takes centre stage. From rapid-fire prompt iterations to robust eval pipelines, the discipline now demands the same rigour we once reserved for cloud infra or mobile apps. That is precisely why the AI Engineer World’s Fair, 3–5 June 2025 in San Francisco, matters more than any keynote or press release: it is the one place where the movers, makers and maintainers of production-grade AI swap battle-tested patterns in person. For UK technologists—and the recruiters who hire them—the Fair offers a rare chance to compress a year’s worth of learning, networking and tooling discovery into three intense days. Whether you are scaling RAG systems on Azure, bootstrapping an agentic start-up from your kitchen table, or simply hunting for your first AI engineer job, the sessions, workshops and hallway conversations can tilt your career trajectory. The guide that follows distils everything you need to know—programme highlights, travel hacks, ticket tips and post-event ROI—so you can decide if a flight across the Atlantic (or a virtual pass) is the smartest investment you’ll make this year.
