AI Engineer – Agentic Systems & Automation – £70,000 – Fully remote in UK
A fast-growing company at the forefront of engineering innovation and AI automation is seeking an experienced AI Engineer to help develop intelligent, scalable agentic systems integrated into modern software development lifecycles.
This role involves leading the design and deployment of LLM-powered agents, developer tools, and automation frameworks that streamline workflows and elevate productivity.
This is a hands-on engineering role that blends software development, AI experimentation, and product innovation.
The successful candidate will play a key role in architecting agent-based systems, leveraging advanced frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex, and deploying real-time AI capabilities that integrate deeply with SDLC processes.
Key Responsibilities
LLM Agent Development: Design and implement intelligent, multi-step agents using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex to enhance developer workflows.
Tooling & Assistant Innovation: Develop AI-powered assistants and developer tools with an emphasis on scalability, performance, and reliability.
AI Engineering: Build, test, and optimize generative AI features using platforms such as OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini, including fine-tuned custom models and evaluation pipelines.
Prompt Engineering: Design, iterate, and test prompt strategies to improve model accuracy, robustness, and responsiveness across various LLM backends.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, product, and QA teams to embed agent-led automation within CI/CD pipelines and developer environments.
Prototyping & R&D: Drive rapid prototyping efforts and validate new ideas through real-world experimentation and user feedback.
Responsible AI: Promote ethical and secure AI practices, proactively addressing issues like prompt injection, data leakage, and model drift.
AI Advocacy: Lead internal workshops, demos, and documentation initiatives to promote AI capabilities across teams and client projects.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Agentic Experience: Proven experience building agent workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent.
AI/ML Expertise: Solid understanding of large language models (LLMs), embeddings, vector search, and prompt engineering.
Software Engineering Skills: Strong programming skills in Python (AI pipelines) and TypeScript (full-stack integration). Capable of writing production-grade code.
Product Mindset: Ability to understand user needs and translate them into impactful AI features and experiences.
Cloud & Data Knowledge: Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Model Deployment: Familiarity with evaluating, fine-tuning, and deploying LLMs in production environments, including performance monitoring and optimization.
Collaboration & Agility: Comfortable working in fast-paced, cross-functional teams.
Experimental Approach: A passion for rapid iteration, learning from experiments, and data-driven development.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) or CAG systems using vector databases and hybrid retrieval techniques.
Knowledge of LLM security challenges, including prompt injection and adversarial attacks.
Familiarity with prompt evaluation frameworks and metrics such as truthfulness, helpfulness, and toxicity.
Hands-on experience with developer-focused AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor), including a deep understanding of their architecture and scalability.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
