Hire AI engineers and researchers in the UK
Artificial Intelligence Jobs is where UK AI engineers, applied scientists and MLOps people look when they want to see what is actually being built. Advertise a role to them directly, keep every application, and pay a fixed price once.
- What it costs
- From £99 for a 30-day listing. Pay once — no subscription, no recruiter fee, no percentage of salary.
- How fast it goes live
- One working day. A person reads every advert before it publishes, usually within a couple of hours.
- Who reads it
- Engineers shipping LLM features, researchers with a publication record, and platform people who keep inference running — the three jobs that hide behind the title "AI engineer". Most are employed, not job-hunting, and read this board to see what others are building.
- What it is not
- A CV database you rent, or an agency taking a fee on the hire. You post the role; candidates come to you.

Write the advert from scratchNot hiring yet? Start with how to hire AI engineers in the UK — what the roles are, what they pay, and how to write an advert that gets answered.
There are three ways to fill an AI role. We are honest about being one of them.
"AI engineer" covers three different jobs with three different pools, and most teams hiring their first one try all three routes before they work out which pool they are fishing in. Here is the short version, including where a board is the wrong tool.
A specialist board
You are hereFixed, from £99 per role
You know roughly who you want, the salary is competitive, and you want the applications to land in your own inbox or ATS.
You need someone headhunted out of a named competitor, or the role is confidential.
A generalist platform
Per-click or per-slot, unbounded
Volume roles where reach matters more than fit, and hiring for functions outside engineering at the same time.
Anything with "AI" in the title. The keyword now draws applications from every bootcamp cohort and every developer who has called an API, and the person you want — who has shipped a model to real users — is one CV in several hundred.
A recruitment agency
Typically 15–25% of first-year salary
Research leads and heads of AI, where the pool is a few hundred people nationally and most of them have to be approached rather than advertised to.
Roles you can attract directly. On a £90k salary the fee is most of a hiring budget.
Who actually reads this board
A smaller audience than LinkedIn, and a different one. People arrive here because they build with models for a living and want to see who is hiring for RAG, fine-tuning, evaluation and inference work this month — not because a feed put a job in front of them.

How the live roles are worked
How the advert reaches them
- Search and Google Jobs
- Every listing is structured for Google Jobs and indexed on the board, so it keeps working for the whole run.
- Saved alerts
- Candidates subscribe to a specialism, a salary floor and a location. Matching roles email out as they publish.
- The weekly digest
- One email, curated, read by people who are not actively applying yet — which is where most senior candidates sit.
- The rest of the network
- Add any of the other fifteen boards for +£75 each. Only worth it where the field genuinely overlaps.

What AI roles pay in the UK
Built from the salaries stated in live adverts on this board, not a survey — the range employers are advertising, and its midpoint.
In AI the range is the whole conversation: applied engineers, research scientists and MLOps people are separate markets with separate rates, and an advert that hides its band reads as one that has not decided which of the three it is hiring. Name the number and the right pool answers.

Everything we know about hiring AI engineers in the UK, written down
How to hire AI engineers in the UK
What the roles actually are, what they pay, and how to write an advert that gets answered — for teams hiring their first, or their fifteenth.
Writing a job advert that gets answered
The structure that draws replies, the phrases that quietly cost you applications, and what to cut from the requirements list.
What AI engineers are paid, by role and setup
Advertised ranges for research, applied and platform roles — and the things that move a number inside the band more than seniority does.
Hiring your first AI engineer without an AI team
How to interview for work you cannot assess yourself, what to scope for the first six months, and when a contractor is the better first move.
The other fifteen boards
Cloud, cyber, data engineering, biotech and the rest — where an adjacent board is worth adding and where it is not.
From £99 a role. Paid once.
Three tiers and three durations, priced up front. Extra boards are +£75 each and only worth adding where the field overlaps — we will tell you when it does not.
In every listing, including the cheapest one
- A person reviews the advert before it publishes
- Structured for Google Jobs and indexed on the board
- Emailed to matching alert subscribers
- Applications to your inbox or straight into your ATS
- Live for 30 days, extendable
- No subscription and no auto-renewal
If it does not perform
Every listing carries an application benchmark set from the role itself — pay, contract type, working pattern. Come in under it and we extend the run and re-promote the role at no charge. It is in the terms, not a goodwill gesture.
Hiring several roles, or running an agency desk?
Bundles across roles and boards, and automatic ingestion from your ATS or a feed so nothing is re-keyed.
