Senior Applied AI Engineer (.NET)

We’re looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to design and deliver production-grade AI-powered features within a modern .NET product environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on applying AI in real systems — not training models. You’ll work with commercial AI platforms such as Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, and OpenAI to build reliable, scalable, and observable features that ship to users.

You’ll also play a key role in shaping how AI is adopted across the engineering team — setting standards, introducing tooling, and leading by example through high-quality, AI-assisted development practices.

This role suits someone who has already successfully integrated AI into production products and can bring proven patterns into a growing team.



What You’ll Do

  • Design and build AI-powered product features within a C# / .NET ecosystem
  • Integrate commercial AI APIs into production systems with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost control
  • Establish and promote best practices for applied AI engineering across the codebase
  • Lead by example using AI-assisted development workflows
  • Support and mentor engineers adopting tools such as Claude Code or Cursor
  • Build systems with strong observability, logging, and guardrails
  • Contribute to clean, well-structured, and versioned RESTful APIs
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver user-facing AI capabilities


Must Have

  • 7+ years of commercial software engineering experience
  • 5+ years working with C# / .NET (Core)
  • Proven experience designing and shipping AI integrations in production
  • Strong experience integrating paid AI APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock)
  • Demonstrated ability to set patterns and standards adopted by other engineers
  • Hands-on experience introducing AI-assisted development tools into a team
  • Strong REST API design skills (clean, versioned, observable)
  • Solid SQL experience (MariaDB or MySQL)
  • A strong focus on quality, resilience, and maintainability


Nice to Have

  • Experience with AWS (EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, Bedrock)
  • Practical experience with prompt design, iteration, and evaluation
  • Familiarity with structured outputs, tool use, or function calling
  • Frontend exposure (JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt 3)
  • Experience working in microservices or distributed systems
  • Familiarity with Shape Up methodology
  • Awareness of secure-by-design principles (e.g. ISO 27001)


Not the Right Fit If You

  • Focus on training or fine-tuning models rather than applying them
  • Come from a purely data science or research background
  • Prefer Python-heavy environments and don’t want to work in .NET
  • Are sceptical of AI-assisted development workflows
  • Haven’t worked with commercial AI APIs in production
  • Are looking for a strategy-only or non-hands-on role


Why Join Us

  • Work on real-world AI features used in production
  • Be part of a team where AI is treated as an engineering discipline, not a buzzword
  • Influence how AI is adopted across the organisation
  • Hybrid working (2 days in the office)
  • Dedicated training and development budget
  • Clear opportunities for career progression

If you want to build high-quality, production AI systems and help shape how modern engineering teams apply AI in practice, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
