Job summary:
South Pole is looking for an AI Developer to help build the intelligent layer behind our products. You will design, build, and ship production-grade AI features: LLM-powered workflows, retrieval pipelines,
and agentic tooling that turn large, messy environmental and carbon-market data into reliable answers.
This is a hands-on engineering role pitched at a medior-to-senior level. We are open to a strong medior developer ready to step up, as well as a senior who can take a vague requirement and turn it into a tested, well-reasoned feature. What matters is that you understand the why behind your choices - not just how to call an API, but when not to, and how to keep an AI system trustworthy, evaluated, and cost-aware in production.
Key Responsibilities:
- AI Feature Development: Design and ship LLM-powered features end to end - retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), structured extraction, summarisation, and agentic / tool-using workflows.
- Pipelines & Integration: Build robust data and inference pipelines that connect our AI layer to product back-ends, vector stores, and source systems (AQ, Salesforce
