Software Engineer - Artificial Intelligence

Senior AI Engineer | Manchester | Hybrid | £70,000 - £85,000

We're working with a forward-thinking technology solutions partner specializing in high-impact digital transformation on this exciting opportunity. This isn't just about playing with prompts; you will be building production-grade agentic AI systems that redefine customer journeys and automate complex internal operations.

You will bridge the gap between emerging LLM capabilities and robust, real-world applications. We are looking for a systems thinker who can leverage Python and modern AI orchestration frameworks to deliver scalable, resilient solutions that move the needle for global enterprises.

The Role

• Lead the design and integration of agentic AI systems into complex, end-to-end business workflows.
• Build and deploy production-ready LLM applications, ensuring high reliability, safety fallbacks, and low latency.
• Establish engineering best practices for AI orchestration, observability, and rigorous automated testing.
• Collaborate closely with Product and Data Science teams to translate theoretical AI capabilities into tangible ROI.
• Evaluate and implement emerging AI services and frameworks to keep the organization at the cutting edge of the field.
  
  

What You'll Need

• Proven experience as a Software Engineer with a deep focus on Python and delivering production-integrated AI/ML systems.
• Hands-on expertise with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Agentic AI frameworks (such as LangChain, AutoGen, or CrewAI).
• Strong understanding of operationalizing AI, including monitoring, guardrails, and managing performance in production environments.
• Experience with cloud-based AI infrastructure, ideally AWS AI/ML services (SageMaker, Bedrock) or similar environments.
• A systems-thinking mindset with the ability to communicate technical AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly.
  
  

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary of £70,000 - £85,000 plus a comprehensive benefits package.
• Flexible hybrid working model providing a healthy balance between remote focus and Manchester-based collaboration.
• Dedicated training and development budgets to ensure you stay at the forefront of the AI revolution.
• A high-growth, collaborative culture where you have the autonomy to shape the future of AI-driven systems.
