Product Owner - Artificial Intelligence

We’re partnering with a forward-thinking organisation investing heavily in next-generation AI systems to power intelligent, data-driven applications.

This is a high-impact Senior Engineer role within a growing engineering function. You’ll take ownership of designing and delivering scalable AI-driven systems, working across the full lifecycle—from architecture through to deployment and optimisation in production.

If you enjoy building from first principles, working with modern LLM frameworks, and shaping how AI is embedded into real-world products, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for architecting and optimising intelligent systems, ensuring they are scalable, performant and production-ready.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Designing and optimising AI-driven architectures
  • Implementing vector and graph database solutions
  • Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines
  • Developing agentic reasoning workflows (LangChain, LlamaIndex or similar)
  • Managing the end-to-end AI lifecycle—ingestion, embeddings, extraction, synthesis, prompt engineering and orchestration
  • Deploying and maintaining containerised models in Docker-based environments
  • Collaborating closely with product and business stakeholders
  • Mentoring and supporting more junior engineers
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience with FastAPI, Celery and Postgres
  • Hands‑on experience with vector databases and graph databases
  • Experience building RAG-based systems
  • Experience with agentic/orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex)
  • Solid understanding of LLMs, embeddings and prompt engineering
Highly Desirable
  • Docker and cloud-native deployment experience
  • Advanced RAG approaches such as:
    • Tool-Augmented Generation (TAG)
    • Context-Aware Generation (CAG)
    • GraphRAG
The Environment
  • Collaborative, engineering-led culture
  • Strong focus on innovation and continuous improvement
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • Opportunity to shape AI capability from the ground up
  • Modern cloud-native architecture
Package
  • Discretionary bonus
  • Non-contributory pension
  • Private medical (family cover) + dental

This role would suit someone who enjoys technical ownership, thinking architecturally, and building intelligent systems that have genuine business impact.

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

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.
