Principal AI Engineer

Employment type: FULLTIME. We are building an AI-powered operating model for Ocean Operations and a next-generation optimisation capability for global Network Design. This role is not limited to agent orchestration or execution workflows. It is a senior technical leadership role for how AI strengthens optimisation methods, modelling, and decision quality across both planning and execution.

The remit is broader than a standalone AI feature set. It covers how AI, optimisation, and engineering come together to deliver better network decisions at scale, while also shaping agentic decision systems in Control Tower style execution environments.

Role purpose

The Principal AI Engineer will set the technical direction for AI-augmented optimisation and intelligent operational decisioning. This person will lead through specialists in optimisation, modelling, heuristics, analytics, and experimentation.

They will define where AI can materially improve search, structural recommendations, and solver-backed workflows, while also guiding the design of multi-agent systems for reasoning, orchestration, exception handling, and human-in-the-loop execution. What you will own? Techni1 …
