In the race to zero emissions, our research, advisory and technical expertise and industry-firsts are supporting a safe, sustainable maritime energy transition.

Today we are a leading provider of classification and compliance services to the marine and offshore industries, helping our clients design, construct and operate their assets to accepted levels of safety and environmental compliance. 🔍 Why Join OneOcean Crew? Legacy & Innovation: We were created more than 260 years ago as the world’s first marine classification society to improve and set standards for the safety of ships.

Global Impact: Our digital solutions are relied upon by more than 30,000 vessels, following the acquisition of OneOcean in 2022 and Ocean Technologies Group in 2024. Product Offering: Covering five proven product areas - learning, fleet operations, compliance, voyage planning and performance management - supporting its customers from ship to shore, from training and people operations, to voyage compliance and optimisation. 🧭 Navigating the position: AI Team Lead As AI Team Lead at OneOcean you will lead a team of AI Engineers building generative-AI–powered chat and assistant experiences that sit inside our SaaS product for customers and inside our business for colleagues.

You will lead by example, driving engineering excellence, ensuring delivery of high-quality, responsibly-built AI products, and fostering a collaborative and innovative team culture. Working closely with other Team Leaders, Architects, Product, and our Data team, you will help shape technical direction, streamline delivery processes and ensure alignment with business goals. Our roadmap spans several connected use cases — a RAG-based Q&A surface for maritime regulations; an assistant that helps learning managers identify relevant training content and (in time) automates training selection for their crew; and natural-language querying over datasets curated by our wider Data team (currently served from Apache Druid and Apache Superset).

You will own the technical strategy across these surfaces and the platform that powers them. Lead a team of AI Engineers, ensuring alignment on goals, quality and delivery timelines. Mentor and coach team members to support their technical and professional growth.

Drive engineering excellence by promoting best practices in coding (PEP-8, Clean Code), Test-Driven Development, code review, CI/CD and responsible AI development. Plan and manage team capacity, sprints and milestones to ensure predictable delivery. Own the design, evolution and operation of our RAG and agentic AI services — retrieval, embedding, indexing, orchestration, evaluation and LLM Ops.

Set and maintain standards for prompt engineering, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, hallucination mitigation and content safety. Partner with the Data team to expose curated Druid datasets through natural-language interfaces (text-to-SQL / semantic search) and ensure quality and consistency end-to-end. Collaborate with Product, UX and Architecture to translate customer and internal use cases into well-defined AI capabilities with clear acceptance criteria.

Champion responsible AI — bias awareness, transparency, privacy, data minimisation, evaluation, monitoring, and clear in-product communication of model limitations.
