AI Engineer:

Bolton

£50,000-£55,000

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an AI Engineer to join an established organisation that is actively embedding AI-driven solutions into real-world business operations. This is a hands-on technical role, ideal for someone passionate about applied AI, workflow automation, and building scalable, production-ready solutions.

The Role

As an AI Engineer, you will be responsible for building end-to-end AI solutions that combine models, data, APIs, and automation platforms. You'll play a key role in taking AI from concept through to production, ensuring solutions are accurate, governed, and aligned with business priorities. This role offers exposure to modern AI tooling, cloud platforms, and enterprise-grade automation in a fast-evolving AI environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate and select appropriate AI models for different business use cases
  • Design, test, and optimise prompts to ensure reliable, accurate, and safe AI outputs
  • Build and maintain automated workflows using tools such as n8n or similar platforms
  • Integrate AI solutions with internal and external systems via REST APIs and webhooks
  • Deploy AI solutions into production and monitor ongoing performance
  • Continuously refine solutions based on feedback, metrics, and operational data
  • Ensure solutions meet data governance, security, and compliance standards
  • Document workflows, integrations, and AI assets for technical and non-technical audiences
  • Work collaboratively with stakeholders to gather requirements and communicate progress
  • Identify and mitigate risks including bias, hallucinations, and output quality issues

Skills & Experience

Essential:

  • Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier, Node-RED, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with prompt engineering and optimisation
  • Strong understanding of large language models in production scenarios
  • Practical experience integrating systems using REST APIs and webhooks
  • Experience working with structured and semi-structured data
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Desirable:

  • Experience with Azure AI services (including Azure OpenAI or Cognitive Services)
  • Cloud-based AI solution deployment (Azure preferred)
  • SQL experience for querying and validating relational data
  • Python or JavaScript experience for scripting and integrations
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, MLOps, or AI monitoring practices

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

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. 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.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
