Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Senior AI Engineer | Hybrid (3 days/week in London) | Up to £140k + Strong Equity Package | Node.js + React + AI-Native Engineering

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, technology-led startup building AI-enhanced consumer experiences at scale. Their platform powers a multi-brand ecosystem across commerce, operations, and data infrastructure, underpinned by proprietary technology and automation.

As they scale, they’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join a high-impact product engineering team. AI-assisted development is deeply embedded into how they operate- from agentic coding workflows and autonomous tooling to rapid prototyping, testing, and deployment. They see modern AI tooling as a force multiplier for exceptional engineers.

This is a hybrid role in London.

What You’ll Do

• AI-Native Software Development
• Leverage LLM-powered and agentic engineering tools to navigate large codebases, accelerate implementation, automate workflows, and ship production-ready features across a modern full-stack environment
• Build Intelligent, Scalable Systems
• Design and develop end-to-end applications spanning backend services, APIs, data models, and highly performant frontend experiences using Node.js and React
• Shape AI-First Engineering Practices
• Help define best practices around AI-assisted software development, evaluation, testing, and developer productivity. Drive adoption of high-leverage tooling and workflows across the engineering organisation
• Operate with High Ownership
• Work closely with product and leadership teams to solve complex technical problems, move quickly, and make pragmatic architectural decisions in a fast-scaling environment

Who You Are

• AI-Enabled Engineer
• You actively use modern AI tooling (e.g. coding agents, copilots, workflow automation, LLM-assisted debugging/refactoring) to improve speed and output quality, while applying strong engineering judgment and validation
• Strong Full-Stack Builder
• You’re comfortable owning systems end-to-end - from backend architecture and databases through to polished frontend delivery
• Product-Minded Problem Solver
• You balance speed with quality, make thoughtful technical trade-offs, and thrive in ambiguous, high-autonomy environments
• High Agency Operator
• You’re proactive, execution-focused, and energised by building in fast-moving teams where engineers have significant ownership and impact

Technical Skills

• Strong full-stack engineering experience with Node.js and React
