AI Engineer

The roleYou build and ship across AI agents and client-facing systems, owning features end to end and shaping what gets built together with the client team.

This is a hands-on delivery role on live problems, not a research seat.

Projects typically start as a proposal, followed by a proof of concept, expand into a beta, then shipped to production.

You'll be involved across the full arc, and you won't be doing it alone.

Location: Remote (UK), with access to a number of London co-working office spaces.

What you'll doTake features from idea to production, then iterate on real usage.

Build AI agents and integrations against clients' own data and systems.

• Collaborate directly with client project managers and engineers, learning how they work and sharing your expertise.
• Keep quality high through testing, monitoring and sensible guardrails.

What we look forAround 2+ years of production engineering experience.

Excellent Python and at least one other modern programming language.

Genuine curiosity.
