Senior Python Engineer (AI Systems)
Salary: £60,000 – £90,000
Location: Remote
Eligibility: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)
The Opportunity
What if the systems you built didn’t just optimise engagement, but played a role in determining someone’s future career? This is an opportunity to work on AI solutions that directly impact education, certification, and access to skilled professions. Your work will sit at the intersection of large language models, evaluation frameworks, and high-stakes decision-making, where precision, fairness, and reliability matter.
About the Company
This UK-based AI organisation is redefining how professional certification and assessment are delivered. Their goal is to make accreditation more accessible, scalable, and fair through intelligent automation.
You’ll join a small, highly capable team where engineers are trusted to take ownership, influence direction, and deliver meaningful outcomes. Collaboration is strong, and the focus is on building systems that work—properly.
What You’ll Gain
* High levels of ownership and autonomy
* The chance to build AI systems with real-world impact
* End-to-end involvement across the AI lifecycle
* A collaborative, pragmatic engineering culture
* Exposure to LLM evaluation, multimodal AI, and human-in-the-loop systems
The Role
As an AI Engineer, you’ll design and scale intelligent systems that evaluate knowledge and skills accurately and efficiently.
Your work will include:
* Developing AI-driven assessment pipelines using structured data and evaluation criteria
* Building evaluation frameworks, datasets, and testing methodologies
* Working with LLM workflows, focusing on performance, cost, and reliability
* Applying statistical techniques to validate improvements
* Contributing to systems that handle text, image, and video inputs
* Generating clear, explainable feedback for users
* Implementing monitoring, observability, and evaluation pipelines
* Designing safeguards such as confidence thresholds and human review processes
* Building APIs and deploying scalable solutions in the cloud
* Contributing to system architecture and technical direction
The Ideal Candidate
You’re an experienced AI/ML engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and takes pride in building systems that are robust and maintainable.
You’ll likely have:
* Around 4+ years’ experience in AI/ML engineering (or a relevant PhD with industry exposure)
* A track record of delivering end-to-end ML systems in production
* Strong Python programming skills, with experience building reliable backend systems and APIs
* Hands-on experience with LLMs and modern AI workflows
* Experience with evaluation frameworks and model optimisation
* Familiarity with testing, observability, and experimentation practices
* Experience deploying to cloud environments (AWS preferred)
* A solid understanding of fairness, privacy, and model integrity
* Confidence working in a fast-paced, small team
