Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Central Manchester- (Hybrid 2–3 days onsite)

Up to £110,000 DOE + bonus

Are you a senior, hands‑on AI engineer who can both set direction and build what matters?

We’re working with a SaaS Startup transforming its sector with a cutting‑edge e‑commerce platform for the Sport & Events industry. In its first full year, the company generated over £25 million in revenue—and they're set to double that in the next. There’s never been a better time to join.

This role reports directly to the CEO and is focused on building and leading the company’s AI infrastructure from the ground up. You’ll architect and ship a brand‑new AI‑native platform, replace legacy SaaS tools with intelligent agents, and embed AI directly into the core of the business.

This is a completely new AI function and a rare opportunity to build production‑grade AI systems from scratch inside a high‑growth business.

• 
  
• Reporting directly to the CEO, owning the technical direction and architecture of AI across the business
  
• Designing and building a new AI-native platform from the ground up
  
• Creating and deploying AI agents to replace traditional SaaS tools (operations, reporting, communication workflows, etc.)
  
• Building internal agent infrastructure and scalable AI ecosystems for company‑wide release
  
• Retooling product and engineering workflows so AI does a significant share of the development and operational workload
  
• Working hands‑on with LLM tooling (e.g. Claude, Cursor‑style AI dev tooling) to increase engineering velocity
  
• Owning the roadmap, and making critical technical decisions around architecture, security scalability, and deployment
  
• Leading future AI hires—but remaining deeply technical and execution‑focused
  

• 
  
• Up to £110k salary + Annual bonus up to 20%
  
• Hybrid set‑up – 3x a week in their brand new Manchester offices
  
• 25 days annual leave + Bank holidays
  
• Plus, enjoy an ever‑growing benefits package—including free tickets to sold‑out events (fancy FREE tickets to that sold‑out gig, Manchester Derby, or something similar? I’m not joking either!)
