Build AI that
actually ships
to production.

At askelie we build ELIE — the Ever Learning Intelligent Engine. No polished demos. No hype. Just AI running live in regulated, high-stakes environments where accuracy and trust genuinely matter.

What you'll ship

Real systems. Live environments. Actual users.

ELIE runs inside regulated organisations handling contracts, compliance, and high-stakes decisions every day. You'll build the systems that make that possible — not prototypes.

01 · document intelligence

Contract & Document AI

Extract clauses, identify obligations, flag risk — across thousands of documents at once. High accuracy, auditable outputs, enterprise scale.

NLP · Transformers · IDP
02 · workflow engine

Automation Workflows

Design the transaction-led engine that moves work end-to-end through regulated organisations — with governance, audit trails, and human checkpoints built in.

APIs · Event-driven · Orchestration
03 · knowledge & reasoning

Knowledge Base & AI Agents

Build askKIRA — the AI knowledge layer that surfaces the right information at the right moment, with grounded retrieval and no hallucinations in production.

RAG · Vector DBs · LLMs
04 · compliance engine

Compliance & Audit

Every action logged, traceable, and explainable. Build the compliance layer that makes askelie fit for the NHS, Home Office, and financial services.

ISO27001 · Audit logs · RBAC
05 · conversational ai

Conversational Interfaces

Go beyond chatbots. Build AI interfaces that understand context, maintain state, and take structured action — not just produce text.

LLM · Dialogue systems · Structured output
06 · integrations

API Connectivity & Platform

Design the integration layer that connects ELIE to the tools organisations already rely on — cleanly, securely, and without brittle hacks.

REST · Webhooks · OAuth · ETL
The tech

Interesting problems. Modern tooling.

We use what makes sense — not what's trendy. You'll work across AI/ML pipelines, document processing, API design, and cloud infrastructure. The problems dictate the stack, not the other way round.

Why askelie

Built for people who care about craft.

We're not a VC-funded sprint to a Series B. We're a focused team building something that works — for organisations that need it to.

🎯

Your code goes live

Everything you build runs in production. Real users. Real stakes. No feature graveyard, no "this is for the deck" projects.

🌍

Fully remote. Always.

Every role at askelie is remote — no exceptions. Our team spans the UK, USA, UAE, and India. No relocation, no commute, no office politics.

Full ownership, fast pace

No six layers of approval to ship a feature. You own your area, make decisions, and see the results. Fast iteration, real trust.

🔬

Hard, interesting problems

Regulated environments, complex documents, AI that has to be explainable and auditable. Not CRUD apps dressed up as AI.

🔐

Security-first engineering

We build for ISO27001 and regulated sectors. Security, auditability, and governance aren't afterthoughts here — they're requirements from day one.

💬

Straight talking culture

No politics. No performative meetings. If something's broken, we say so and fix it. Clear communication and real feedback.

Who fits

We hire builders, not title collectors.

We don't care about your degree. We care about what you've shipped, how you think, and whether you take ownership seriously. AI experience helps, but it's not required for every role.

Send us your CV →
01

Curious, but grounded in what works

You're interested in new tech and emerging AI, but you care more about what delivers value in production. You test assumptions, not chase hype.

02

You own a problem end to end

From first conversation to deployed code. You spot issues early, don't wait to be told what to do next, and close the loop yourself.

03

You write clearly, not just code

Remote teams run on async communication. You can explain a technical decision in writing so clearly that someone can act on it without a follow-up call.

04

Sensible about security and data

You think about what could go wrong before shipping. You understand why compliance matters in the environments we work in — and you design for it.

05

Self-managed, not self-isolated

You handle your own time and don't need micromanagement — but you communicate proactively, ask for help when you're blocked, and support the team.

Open roles

We hire for ability, not just fit.

We're always interested in strong developers, AI/ML engineers, and backend specialists. If you don't see your exact role listed, send your CV anyway — we'd rather talk to the right person than wait for a perfect job spec match.

Common questions

Straight answers, no fluff.

No hidden surprises about how we work, what we expect, or what you can expect from us.

Do I need AI experience to apply?

Not always. For ML-heavy roles, yes. For backend and API roles, we care more about solid engineering fundamentals and the curiosity to learn.

What does the hiring process look like?

A short introductory call → a practical technical discussion → a final alignment conversation. No whiteboard theatre, no trick questions. Typical turnaround: one week per stage.

Are roles fully remote?

Yes — every single role. There is no office option. Our team spans the UK, USA, UAE, and India. As long as time zones work, location doesn't matter.

Do you hire contractors?

Yes. We work with a mix of permanent employees and contractors depending on the role and project stage.

Do I need to be in the UK?

No. We hire internationally as long as right-to-work and time zone overlap make sense for the role.

What kind of environments do your systems run in?

Regulated and high-stakes — NHS, government, financial services, legal. That means security, compliance, and auditability are genuine constraints, not afterthoughts.
