AI Engineer

London (Hybrid, 1 Day per Week Onsite)

Are you ready to help build the future of AI from the ground up?

Our client isn't buying off-the-shelf solutions or stitching together existing products. They're building a proprietary AI platform from first principles, creating intelligent systems capable of reasoning, planning, and acting autonomously across complex business environments.

We're looking for a highly skilled AI Engineer to join a growing London-based team and play a key role in designing and developing cutting-edge agentic AI systems that will power the next generation of enterprise automation.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing and developing agentic AI systems capable of autonomous decision-making and task execution.
  • Building sophisticated LLM-powered applications, orchestration frameworks, memory architectures, and tool-use capabilities.
  • Developing custom AI workflows using large language models, retrieval systems, and multi-agent architectures.
  • Collaborating closely with product and engineering teams to embed AI into real-world business processes.
  • Contributing to the architecture and evolution of a proprietary AI platform in a truly greenfield environment.
  • Evaluating emerging AI technologies and helping shape technical direction and best practices.

What We're Looking For

  • Commercial experience designing and building AI, machine learning, or generative AI applications.
  • Strong Python engineering skills and experience developing production-grade software.
  • Hands-on experience with technologies such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Services, and Azure Machine Learning.
  • Knowledge of modern AI frameworks including LangChain, Hugging Face, PyTorch, or similar technologies.
  • Deep understanding of LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, prompt engineering, agentic AI, and multi-agent systems.
  • Experience deploying, monitoring, and optimising AI solutions in production environments.
  • A builder's mindset with a passion for solving complex technical challenges from first principles.
  • Ability to commute to a London office once per week.

Desirable Experience

  • AI orchestration and workflow frameworks.
  • Knowledge graph or semantic search technologies.
  • Model fine-tuning and evaluation.
  • MLOps, CI/CD, containerisation, and cloud-native deployment practices.
  • Experience developing autonomous agents and reasoning systems.

Why Join?

  • Join a high-calibre team building a genuinely differentiated AI platform.
  • Work on some of the most challenging and innovative problems in modern AI.
  • Influence architecture, product direction, and technical strategy from an early stage.
  • Enjoy significant ownership, autonomy, and creative freedom.
  • Competitive salary, equity participation, and comprehensive benefits.
  • Hybrid working with a collaborative London-based team.

If you're excited by agentic AI, autonomous systems, and building something entirely from scratch, we'd love to hear from you. Apply Now to Avoid Disappointment!

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
