About Data Hatch

Data Hatch is an agentic AI company building production AI systems for regulated industries, including healthcare, insurance, and financial services. We are a Databricks and Microsoft partner, and we work with enterprise clients who need AI that actually ships: governed, auditable, and reliable enough to run in environments where mistakes carry real consequences.

We are a young, fast-moving company operating across London, Shanghai, and Italy. You will work directly with the founder and a small senior team, with real ownership over what you build.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design and deliver agentic AI systems end to end, from data platform through to production application. This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable owning ambiguity: you will scope solutions with clients, architect them, build them, and stand behind them in production.

What You Will Do

• Design and build production-grade AI and agentic systems for enterprise clients in regulated sectors
• Develop data and ML pipelines on Databricks and Azure, including Unity Catalog governance, orchestration, and deployment
• Build robust backend services and APIs that integrate LLMs, retrieval systems, and agent frameworks into client environments
• Own delivery quality: testing, observability, evaluation of AI outputs, and documentation appropriate for regulated clients
• Work directly with client stakeholders to scope requirements and translate them into technical designs
• Contribute to internal products and accelerators that we reuse across engagements
• Mentor mid-level engineers and contractors, and help set engineering standards as the team grows

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years shipping production systems in Python
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs: prompt design, RAG, agent orchestration, evaluation, and guardrails
• Strong data engineering fundamentals: SQL, distributed data processing, pipeline orchestration
• Experience with Databricks (or strong Spark experience and willingness to certify) and at least one major cloud, ideally Azure
• Solid engineering practices: version control, CI/CD, testing, code review, infrastructure as code
• Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and represent technical work to enterprise clients
• Comfort in a environment where priorities shift and you are trusted to figure things out

Nice to Have

• Experience delivering in regulated industries (healthcare, insurance, financial services) and familiarity with the compliance constraints that come with them
• Databricks or Microsoft certifications
• Experience with agent frameworks (LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, Semantic Kernel, or similar)
• Frontend skills (React or similar) for building client-facing tools and demos
• Consulting or client-facing delivery background

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonus [add range to comply with posting requirements where applicable]
• Direct exposure to enterprise AI delivery at the frontier, with real production stakes
• Significant autonomy and a direct line to the founder
• Hybrid working with flexibility [confirm policy]
• The chance to shape engineering culture at an early-stage company with strong partnerships and live enterprise clients

How to Apply

Send your CV and a short note on the most interesting production system you have shipped to [email]. We would rather see what you have built than a long cover letter.
