AI Engineer

Contract - AI Engineer - UK based

Aspiron is working exclusively with an early-stage AI security startup hiring a contract AI Engineer to build an MVP for an edge-based security product.

You'll be working with small / lightweight LLMs to detect security concerns / threats on-device. It's a hands-on role suitable for candidates from a strong Microsoft / .net background who has moved over into AI over the last few years.

The contract will initially be 3-6 months with strong probability of permanent employment upon contract termination.

What you’ll do

• Build and package a Windows service / executable for local deployment
• Integrate small edge-based models into a working detection pipeline
• Support prompt engineering and light fine-tuning for a narrow use case
• Help create a secure auto-update process for models/configurations

What they’re looking for

• Strong engineering background, ideally with .NET / Microsoft stack experience
• Experience deploying AI models in real-world products rather than building foundation models from scratch
• Interest in edge AI, privacy-first systems, and cybersecurity

It's remote first with the occasional meet-up in London / Oxford (once every 2-weeks or so)
