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.


What you’ll be doing:

  • 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

What’s in it for you?

  • 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!)

If you’re ready to build AI capability in a fast‑growing digital marketplace, 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.
