Expect to spend your time on: * Building and productionising LLM-based features and GenAI workflows. * Using frameworks like LangChain, PyTorch, and TensorFlow to bring models into production. * Working with AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, or GCP Vertex AI to deliver scalable cloud-based systems. * Implementing strong MLOps and LLMOps practices - from CI/CD and model monitoring to cost and performance optimisation. * Partnering with Data Engineers to ensure the pipelines and data structures feeding the models are robust and scalable. * Keeping an eye on what's next - new GenAI frameworks, model safety, and emerging best practices - and sharing that insight with your peers. What You'll Bring We're looking for an engineer who's comfortable getting stuck into all layers of AI delivery - from model design to deployment. You'll likely have: * Around 7 years' experience as a Software Engineer or Machine Learning Engineer. * A strong grounding in Python, with hands-on experience building and shipping AI/ML or LLM-driven products. * Experience with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, Bedrock, Vertex AI, etc.). * Familiarity with LangChain or similar orchestration frameworks. * A solid understanding of MLOps and how to take models from concept to production. * A collaborative mindset - you enjoy working closely with Product and Data teams and mentoring others when needed. * Curiosity, experimentation, and a practical streak - someone who likes building things that work. Why This Role? * You'll have genuine influence in shaping how AI gets built into a global product used by major industry players. * You'll work with modern tech - cloud-first, AI-ready, and focused on delivering applied, not theoretical, intelligence. * You'll join a team that's small enough to move fast but part of a company with real global scale. * Flexible hybrid setup with UK remote options for the right person. • Up to 95k base salary How They Work The engineering hub is based in Belfast, but the team works flexibly - whether that's in-office collaboration or remote work from anywhere in the UK. What matters most is communication, ownership, and a shared passion for using AI to solve real-world problems. How to Apply To apply for this role, submit your CV via the application form provided.
