A high-growth AI startup is looking for an AI Engineer to help build and scale a next-generation platform transforming how businesses operate.

This is a rare opportunity to join at ground level and shape not just the product, but the engineering culture, architecture, and long-term direction of the business. If you enjoy building from scratch, solving real-world problems, and working with cutting-edge AI, this role offers genuine ownership and impact.

The Role

You’ll play a central role in designing, building, and shipping core product features across the stack, working closely with customers and the founding team to deliver meaningful outcomes.

* Build and ship core features across Python, TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure

* Develop event-driven systems and integrate with third-party platforms

* Work directly with customers to understand requirements and translate them into scalable solutions

* Own delivery end-to-end, from concept through to deployment

* Balance speed and scalability—knowing when to move fast and when to build for the long term

* Champion engineering best practices across testing, documentation, security, and reliability

Requirements

* Strong hands-on experience in software engineering (Python and/or TypeScript preferred)

* Experience building and scaling production systems

* Comfortable working in fast-paced, early-stage environments

* Strong problem-solving skills with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset

* Experience with cloud infrastructure and modern architectures (event-driven, APIs, integrations)

* Ability to work closely with non-technical stakeholders and customers

The Opportunity

* £70-100k base salary

* Build and share in the success

* Engineer role with real ownership and influence

* Work on cutting-edge AI technology

* Join a fast-moving, ambitious team at an early and exciting stage

Certus Recruitment Group is a specialist consultancy providing sales, marketing, and technology recruitment services across the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia.

If you’re looking to build something from the ground up and make a genuine impact, we’d love to hear from you

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
