Job Summary
Senior AI Engineer LLM & Agentic Systems (Translations & Language Technology)
Location: UK Spain Poland Portugal Czech Republic home based
Role Summary
IQVIA Language Solutions is seeking a hands-on AI Engineer with expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Agentic AI to design build and scale next-generation language technology solutions. This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering localization technology and service delivery and will directly impact how multilingual content is produced reviewed evaluated and delivered at scale.
The successful candidate will combine strong engineering capability with applied AI experience and work closely with technology team product owners linguists and stakeholders to deliver production-grade AI systems in a regulated environment.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement LLM-powered solutions for translation localization linguistic QA content transformation and workflow automation.
- Build and maintain agentic AI systems to orchestrate translation review quality checks and analysis tasks.
- Develop frameworks to enhance LLM output through contextual targeting (e.g. through retrieval-augmented generation or contextual engineering/agentic pipelines using translation memories term bases style guides and data content factories).
- Integrate LLM solutions into existing translation management systems CAT tools and enterprise systems via APIs and services.
- Innovate: Experiment Prototype and Build targeted AI solutions. Stay current with advances in LLMs agent and evaluation frameworks as well as deployment methods
- Implement prompt engineering prompt versioning evaluation and optimization strategies tailored to multilingual and domain-specific use cases. Validate prompt outputs through both qualitative and quantitative evaluation procedures.
- Establish robust LLM evaluation frameworks to evaluate performance of AI output covering quality consistency risk bias and regulatory adherence
- Analyse and derive insights from large amounts of data to support solution decisions
- Develop and maintain datasets for LLM output validation including designing annotation guidelines performing quality control creating tools for data analysis or data creation (synthetic or sourced data)
- Create technical architecture design and deployment documents for the solutions
- Contribute to AI governance documentation and best-practice standards
