Artificial Intelligence Engineer

AI Engineer – Build the Future of Advanced Systems

London · Hybrid · Full Time

Up to £110,000 + Equity

Are you ready to build AI that impacts real users, and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs? Join us and help shape the future of intelligent products across complex, high value domains.

The business is a fast scaling organisation building next generation AI systems used globally. Our teams combine deep technical expertise with a relentless bias for delivery. If you want to work with cutting edge models, own end‐to‐end solutions, and see your work drive meaningful real world outcomes this is the place.

🚀 The Opportunity

As an AI Engineer, you will design, build, evaluate, and deploy cutting edge AI capabilities across multiple product lines. You will work on LLMs, agentic frameworks, retrieval systems, evaluation pipelines, and proprietary model improvements. You will collaborate with world class engineers and researchers, turning breakthrough ideas into high impact production systems.

This is hands on, high ownership engineering, with huge scope, fast iteration cycles, and the ability to influence the direction of the entire AI roadmap.

🧠 What You’ll Work On

You will own and contribute to projects such as:

Build and deploy advanced GenAI models

  • Design, fine tune, and optimize LLMs, Transformers, and diffusion models.
  • Develop intelligent assistants, summarisation tools, document Q&A, code generation, and domain specific reasoning systems.

Create high scale evaluation & monitoring frameworks

  • Build rigorous evaluation pipelines to benchmark models, detect drift, and guide R&D direction.
  • Ensure reproducible experimentation, robust deployment, and high quality model delivery.

Develop powerful retrieval & agentic AI systems

  • Implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), vector search, and context aware pipelines.
  • Leverage embeddings, knowledge graphs, and multi-step reasoning agents.

Take AI from idea → production

  • Deploy models into production using modern cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
  • Build scalable APIs, inference pipelines, and end‐to‐end MLOps workflows (MLflow, Kubeflow, Azure ML, Vertex AI, etc.).

Shape the future of our AI platform

  • Prototype bold new ideas fast. Iterate with a “learn quickly, ship often” mindset.
  • Collaborate across engineering, product, and domain experts to identify high impact use cases and refine strategy.

🛠️ What You Bring

Must‐Haves

  • Strong Python engineering skills and experience shipping AI/ML systems into production.
  • Hands‐on experience with LLMs, RAG, Transformers, or NLP/IR architectures.
  • Experience with prompt engineering, evaluation, and optimisation techniques.
  • Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP).
  • Knowledge of MLOps workflows and ML tooling.
  • Clear communication and a collaborative mindset.

Nice‐to‐Haves

  • Experience with LangChain, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate etc), or agent frameworks.
  • Track record of advanced side projects or research contributions.
  • Full stack familiarity (e.g., React, Postgres, TypeScript) is a plus.

💼 Why Join Us?

Impact & Ownership

World Class Culture

  • High energy, collaborative environment with other exceptional engineers.
  • We reward creativity, curiosity, rigorous thinking, and shipping great work.

Top Tier Compensation + Benefits

  • Up to £110,000 + meaningful equity
  • Pension contributions
  • Private medical insurance
  • Income protection & life assurance

Flexibility & Growth

  • Hybrid working model
  • 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays
  • Massive scope for career acceleration in a high growth environment

Perks that boost performance

  • Free Lunch Wednesday’s & Friday’s
  • High performance engineering culture
  • Access to cutting edge research and tooling
  • Annual AI Tools exploration budget

🎯 Who You Are

You’re someone who:

  • Loves solving hard problems with elegant, scalable solutions
  • Works with pace, ownership, and a positive mindset
  • Gets energy from turning prototypes into polished, production ready systems
  • Wants to build transformative AI, not just talk about it

📌 Important: UK right to work is required (no sponsorship available).
