Junior AI Engineer

We’re partnering with a forward-thinking technology business to hire an AI Engineer into a growing AI engineering function at the heart of a market-leading consumer platform. The business is embedding AI across its engineering workflows and building intelligent, autonomous systems used by millions of members.

This role suits an engineer early in their AI career who wants to move from experimentation into production. You’ll join an experienced team, work alongside senior engineers, and build, deploy and monitor AI systems at scale, with a “you build it, you run it” mindset and structured support to grow.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building and deploying AI features and services alongside senior engineers
• Working with product, data, and platform teams to ship software on a frequent release cadence
• Writing automated tests and tracking metrics to maintain quality
• Getting hands-on with Gen AI tools and ML frameworks to improve performance and reliability
• Contributing to agentic workflows, including autonomous and multi-agent systems
• Learning how to weigh up technical approaches against cost, timelines and scale

What we’re looking for:

• Commercial or substantial project experience in Python or a similar backend language
• Hands-on exposure to Gen AI tools (LangGraph, CrewAI, Hugging Face, OpenAI APIs, etc.), through work, side projects or study
• A solid grasp of ML fundamentals and an understanding of LLM challenges such as prompt engineering, latency and cost
• Some familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), Docker and CI/CD
• Curiosity, a willingness to learn quickly, and an interest in seeing AI systems through to production

Nice to have: Terraform, Kubernetes, observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), and experience with SQL and NoSQL datastores.

What’s on offer:

• Up to 60,000 + Benefits
• Hybrid working in a market-leading, tech-driven business
• Mentoring from experienced AI and platform engineers
• Work on systems used by millions of members globally

This is a strong opportunity for an early-career engineer to build production AI experience in a business where technical growth and people development carry equal weight. If this sounds like the right next move, apply now.
