Job 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Benefits
  • Remote-first working with flexibility around client needs.
