AI Engineer - Python, React, AWS - £90,000 - London

AI-Native Engineer — London (Hybrid)

We're working exclusively with a fast-growing AI company in London building next-generation infrastructure for industrial asset management. Their platform combines AI-powered Digital Twins, Augmented Reality, and Workflow Automation — deployed across Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Utilities, Manufacturing, and Mining. Real product, real customers, serious engineering ambition.

They're hiring an AI-Native Engineer. And they're specific about what that means.

The person they want has rebuilt their entire development workflow around AI. Not just using Cursor or Claude Code to write faster ... but going further: building on top of these tools, creating custom engines and workflows trained on their own principles, so AI compounds their output over time. You think in systems. You use AI across the full stack ... front-end, back-end, architecture, deployment — and you've shipped something real as a result.

The role

You'll own features end-to-end: from code to production deployment. That means full DevOps ownership: CI/CD pipelines, Docker, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), infrastructure as code. You've set up and managed real production environments, not just deployed to a hosting service. You'll work with agentic AI frameworks and orchestration tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or direct LLM API work) to deliver intelligent automation across the platform.

What they're looking for

— Someone who leverages AI tools as a core part of how they work — and ideally has gone further by building custom AI workflows or engines on top of them.

— Something shipped with actual users. A side project, startup, or tool that exists and is verifiable.

— Full DevOps ownership: AWS, Docker, CI/CD pipelines built and managed from scratch.

— Hands-on experience with agentic/orchestration frameworks.

— Strong academic background — you learn hard things fast.

— Strong opinions on tools.

Nice to have: hackathon wins, something you've monetised, active GitHub, GCP or Azure experience.

What's on offer

Competitive salary and performance bonus. Hybrid in London. Real ownership at a company building at the frontier of industrial AI.
