Senior AI Software Engineer - AI Lab

London | £90,000 base

We're working with a fast-growing consultancy building out a dedicated AI Lab, focused on embedding AI into real-world, enterprise environments.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role with real influence, shaping how AI is designed, built, and deployed across the business.

If you're looking for a role where you can own architecture, build properly, and see things through to production, this is one to look at.

The Role

You'll sit at the core of the AI capability, helping define and deliver scalable, production-grade AI systems.

Key areas of focus:

  • Designing AI systems and contributing to architecture and solution direction
  • Building end-to-end AI solutions across modern platforms (Azure AI, Copilot-style tooling, etc.)
  • Implementing secure, scalable integration patterns into wider tech ecosystems
  • Developing frameworks to improve deployment, testing, and reliability
  • Driving engineering standards and contributing to code quality and best practice
  • Supporting and mentoring more junior engineers
  • Working closely with stakeholders to translate ideas into working, production solutions

What They're Looking For

  • Strong experience delivering AI / data-driven systems in production
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals (APIs, system design, integration patterns)
  • Experience with Python and SQL in AI/data contexts
  • Exposure to enterprise AI platforms (e.g. Azure AI, Copilot ecosystem) or similar
  • Comfortable operating in structured / regulated environments
  • Able to communicate technical ideas clearly across engineering + non-technical teams

Why This Role

  • You're helping define the AI capability
  • Proper mix of architecture + hands-on delivery
  • Strong backing and investment in AI as a strategic priority
  • Clear opportunity to shape standards, tooling, and direction early

Package / Setup

  • Hybrid working
  • Strong benefits + training investment
  • Clear progression within a growing AI function

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.
