LLM Systems & Workflow Automation
Birmingham/Solihull (Hybrid/Flexible) with remote working options
Salary: £70,000 - £110,000 depending on experience

My client is a technology company focused on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive transformative change across multiple industries. The team is working on cutting-edge projects that harness the power of LLMs and advanced agentic AI to deliver real-world, impactful solutions. They are looking for a Senior AI Engineer with deep expertise in AI architecture, advanced front-end development, and scalable AI systems to join the dynamic team.

As a Senior AI Engineer, you will take ownership of designing and building LLM-powered systems and agentic AI solutions. You’ll work with advanced technologies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and others, applying them to specific business problems, including workflow automation and agentic AI systems for verticals. You’ll be responsible for both the architecture and implementation of these systems, ensuring they scale effectively and meet complex business needs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and build advanced LLM-powered solutions, specifically focusing on workflow automation and agentic AI systems tailored for specific verticals.

  • Use advanced agentic AI design to apply abstracted AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) to achieve complex business and functional objectives.

  • Work with front-end frameworks (preferably Angular, but React or similar considered) to build intuitive, UX-focused interfaces that integrate seamlessly with backend AI systems.

  • Architect and implement advanced event-driven microservices patterns using TypeScript, AWS Lambda, and DynamoDB.

  • Develop and optimise multi-step feedback loops, prompt engineering, and AI system designs to enhance AI-driven decision-making processes.

  • Build systems with an understanding of the underlying mechanics of LLMs and AI models, going beyond using frameworks to understanding and manipulating them at a deep level.

  • Drive the design and implementation of systems with high scalability, performance, and maintainability.

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery of AI solutions.

  • Identify and drive continuous improvements in existing systems and architectures.

    Required Skills & Experience:

  • Proven experience designing, building, and scaling LLM-powered systems, specifically for workflow automation and agentic AI applications.

  • Expertise in advanced agentic AI design, utilising abstracted models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) to achieve business functionality.

  • Strong front-end development skills, ideally in Angular (React or other modern frameworks considered), with a focus on UX design and advanced coding practices.

  • Expertise in TypeScript, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and advanced event-driven microservices architecture.

  • Deep understanding of AI model implementation and optimisation, particularly with large language models (LLMs).

  • Advanced problem-solving abilities with a focus on building robust, scalable AI systems.

  • Proven experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and distributed computing systems for large-scale AI solutions.

  • Ability to mentor and lead teams in architecting AI solutions.

    Desirable Skills:

  • Experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and related technologies.

  • Familiarity with agile methodologies and collaborative work environments.

  • Knowledge of specific industry verticals (e.g., healthcare, finance, logistics) is advantageous but not 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.
