About the Role
As a Junior Developer, you will play a crucial role in supporting the innovation team by contributing to both front-end and back-end development of our technology solutions. You'll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, including AI-powered tools and techniques like:
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Developing systems that can access and retrieve relevant information from external knowledge bases to enhance the accuracy and capabilities of our AI models.
Generative AI: Utilising large language models to create innovative solutions in areas like automated content generation, personalised communication, and intelligent assistance.
