Junior AI / Automation Engineer

Junior AI / Automation Engineer

London

We are working with a highly entrepreneurial investment environment building out a new real estate platform in London.

They are looking for a junior / early-career AI and automation-focused hire to help create internal tools, streamline workflows, and support the team with practical AI-enabled solutions from a relatively blank sheet of paper.

This is not a pure academic data science role, and it is not a standard corporate graduate seat. The opportunity is much more about ownership, practical build work, and helping shape how a lean team uses AI and automation from the outset.

The role is likely to suit someone who enjoys building useful things, working closely with stakeholders, and applying AI in a practical business setting.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building internal tools and lightweight platforms to improve workflow efficiency
• Supporting automation across reporting, document handling, internal processes, and knowledge workflows
• Working with AI / LLM-based solutions to solve practical business problems
• Helping create bespoke internal systems rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf software
• Collaborating closely with senior stakeholders in a lean, commercially focused team

What they’re looking for:

• Early-career profile, likely graduate to c.1–3 years’ experience
• Strong hands-on ability with Python and practical software / automation tooling
• Interest in AI, LLMs, workflow automation, and internal tool-building
• Builder mentality — someone who enjoys creating, testing, and improving things
• Comfortable working in a more entrepreneurial, less structured environment
• Strong academic background preferred

Useful experience may include:

• FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Streamlit, APIs
• LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows, automation tools
• Internal tools, dashboards, workflow systems, CRM-type platforms
• AI-enabled process improvement or business automation

This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership early in their career and enjoys building practical solutions that have visible commercial impact.

If this sounds of interest, please apply or get in touch directly.
