AI Engineer

Overview

Judicial Transcribe is an AI-enabled platform designed to deliver automated transcription and AI-assisted processing of judicial audio recordings. The service is already deployed at scale and is now entering the next phase of operational maturity.

The current focus is to stabilise the live service, strengthen engineering resilience, and extend capabilities including transcription from uploaded audio files, anonymisation/redaction, and AI-driven summarisation.

The programme also acts as a testbed for evolving AI engineering practices, helping to establish reusable patterns for future AI-enabled products and services.

The AI Engineer will focus on AI capability development and production maturity, helping to improve reliability, scalability, and engineering practices across the service.

You will work closely with engineers, product teams, and delivery leads to expand core functionality while ensuring robust, secure, and well-governed AI workflows.

Key Responsibilities

AI Service Development

• Support and enhance the live Transcribe service, focusing on AI components.
  

• Design and implement transcription workflows for uploaded audio files.
  

• Develop anonymisation and redaction capabilities aligned with publication requirements.
  

AI Integration & Capabilities

• Support the transcript summarisation proof of value (PoV).
  

• Enable reuse of existing summarisation capabilities through API-based integration.
  

• Work with internal API platforms to expose and consume AI capabilities.
  

AI Engineering Practices

• Strengthen AI pipeline patterns including:
  

• Extract → Chunk → Prompt → Evaluate workflows
  

• Integrate evaluation mechanisms and Responsible AI controls into AI features.
  

• Contribute to the safe and structured use of AI coding assistants within the development lifecycle.
  

DevSecOps & Operational Maturity

• Improve AI-specific CI/CD practices, testing frameworks, and deployment processes.
  

• Enhance observability, monitoring, and production readiness for AI services.
  

• Support improvements in system resilience and operational stability.
  

Knowledge Sharing & Engineering Resilience

• Reduce single-point-of-failure risks by documenting systems and sharing knowledge.
  

• Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and operational playbooks.
