About the role

AI already helps across our products: Agoo AI answers questions from an organisation's own visitor and attendance data, Agoo Forms helps people draft forms, and Agoo Bot acts for people with a confirm card before every change. You'll own how we build with large language models: the prompts, the tools a model may use, the limits it keeps and what it costs.

What you'll do

Build features with large language models, from the first prompt to production
Design tool use so an assistant acts only within the permissions of the person it serves, and leaves an audit trail
Keep costs predictable through caching, batching, model choice and budgets for each feature
Build retrieval over an organisation's own data that stays within that organisation
Build safety screening for what people post, with our Trust and safety team
Work with our AI Evaluation and Safety Engineer on tests and regression checks before every change
Watch quality, speed and cost in production, and act on what you see
Write clear guidance for the rest of the team on building with AI

What you'll bring

At least five years in software engineering, including hands-on work building with large language models in production
Practical skill in prompt design, tool use and structured output
An evaluation habit: you measure whether a change made things better
Production experience in a typed backend language
Care with personal data, including what is sent to a model and what is kept
A feel for the trade-offs between quality, speed and cost
If you're a Ghanaian graduate: National Service completed, or exempt

Nice to have

Language work in Ghanaian English, Pidgin or Ghanaian languages
Speech and voice interfaces
Content moderation systems
Retrieval and search
