AI Engineer – Security Clearance Required

We’re looking for a capable, curious, and hands-on AI Engineer to help deliver intelligent solutions to our UK-based clients using our in-house agentic AI platform.

This role focuses on configuring, orchestrating, and integrating off-the-shelf LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, and toolchains — not model training or fine-tuning. You’ll help build intelligent, explainable, and secure systems that solve real customer problems.


🧩 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design and deploy LLM-powered solutions on top of our core agentic AI platform
  • Build task-oriented AI workflows using pre-trained LLMs, embeddings, vector search, and tool integrations
  • Extend and adapt platform capabilities using Python
  • Translate business and user needs into orchestrated AI behaviours and workflows
  • Work closely with clients and delivery teams to shape solutions, from prototype to production
  • Ensure solutions are modular, secure, and reliable — while maintaining clarity and traceability in decision logic


✅ What You Must Bring

  • UK-based and either hold SC clearance or be eligible and willing to go through clearance
  • 2+ years of experience in applied AI engineering, data engineering, or backend platform work
  • Strong experience in Python — capable of implementing algorithms and working with APIs, data structures, and logic flows
  • Good understanding of machine learning concepts, LLMs, tokenisation, and vector-based semantic search
  • Experience working with vector databases (e.g. Chroma, Weaviate, FAISS), and familiarity with relational or graph stores
  • Hands-on experience using frameworks like LangChain, Haystack, or custom orchestration layers
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively across delivery and engineering teams

🌟 Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with ethical considerations, bias evaluation, and responsible AI deployment
  • Light DevOps or scripting experience to support deployment or debugging


Why This Role?

This isn’t about training models — it’s about making them useful. You’ll help real users benefit from safe, practical AI without reinventing the wheel. Expect variety, challenge, and meaningful outcomes.


UK-based only. No sponsorship available. SC clearance (or eligibility) is required.

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.
