Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

Description

As trusted partners of AWS and Databricks, we help organisations design, build and scale intelligent systems that deliver measurable business outcomes. We lead from the front in Generative and Applied AI adoption — guiding clients from uncertainty to confident, production-grade delivery.

We are looking for a talented Senior Applied AI Engineer where you will own the outcomes of an engagement or workstream: defining success, measuring business impact, and managing delivery and technical risk.

You will design AI and GenAI systems end-to-end, guide other engineers, and act as a trusted technical contact for clients.

The role is remote based in UK with the occasional travel to company events.

  • AI & engineering craft: Design AI systems end-to-end across the lifecycle; make and justify key trade-offs; evaluate model performance beyond simple accuracy.
  • Collaboration: Explain AI concepts, trade-offs and limitations to technical and non-technical clients; lead code reviews; resolve technical disagreements constructively.
  • Growth & capability: Mentor engineers; contribute reusable components, accelerators and best practice; continuously improve how the team delivers.

Desirable

  • Depth in a speciality: GenAI/ML (RAG, agentic workflows), Data Science, Data Engineering, Product/Full-Stack, or Platform/MLOps.
  • AWS and/or Databricks certifications; experience of responsible-AI and production monitoring.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

  • Proven track record delivering AI models, systems and products to production in a consultancy or AI-driven product organisation.
  • Strong programming (Python and the wider tech stack), system design and testing methodologies.
  • Experience integrating models / LLMs and deploying on cloud platforms (AWS and/or Databricks), with solid CI/CD practice.
  • Able to own delivery, manage stakeholders, and guide other engineers with confidence.

Benefits

  • Remote-first working with flexibility around client needs.
  • Private Medical Insurance.
  • Opportunity to work on meaningful AI projects across multiple industries.
  • A collaborative culture focused on learning, excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Competitive salary with clear progression pathways.
