Senior AI Software Engineer

London

£90,000-£130,000

I’m partnering with a dynamic AI consultancy that embeds itself within client businesses, listening closely, then building bespoke agentic AI solutions that automate processes, improve speed, and enhance decision-making.

Role Responsibilities

As a Senior AI Applied Engineer, you will:

• Build & Deploy AI-Driven Software Solutions
• You’ll blend software engineering and AI expertise to develop scalable, production-grade systems leveraging generative AI and agentic automation.
• Own Project-Based Work Across Diverse Domains
• You’ll tackle varied engagements, ranging in length and complexity, and support multiple clients.
• Ensure Scalable and Reliable Deployment
• Your role includes end-to-end responsibility for deploying AI solutions that are robust, maintainable, and optimized for performance at scale.
• Act as a Strong Team Contributor and Communicator
• While you won’t lead client engagements, you’ll work closely with clients and internal teams, translating client needs into technical solutions, requiring strong communication and stakeholder-facing capabilities.
• Leverage Generative AI Expertise
• Utilise your hands-on experience with generative AI tools or workflows, prompt engineering, LLM integration, or similar, but the emphasis is on engineering implementation and delivery.

Who We're Looking For

Essential Qualifications & Experience

• Strong software engineering background with deep experience deploying scalable systems
• At least some commercial experience using Generative AI exposure (e.g., LLMs, agentic interfaces, prompt engineering) but primarily strong engineering fluency
• Comfortable with project-based, delivery-focused work, even if no prior consultancy experience
• Confident in client-facing situations and able to collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders
• Reliable, consistent work history; this is a long-term growth-focused opportunity within an expanding team

Ready to Apply?

If this resonates with your background and career path, let’s talk. Please share your CV highlighting your engineering experience and where generative AI has featured, especially in deployment or integration roles.

Job Title: AI Researcher

Location: Cambridge or London, UK

This is a permanent position with candidates required to do hybrid working in either Cambridge or London.

Our client are looking for AI Researchers specialising in Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) and Generative AI. In this role, you will design and optimise the algorithms that align large-scale generative models with human preferences, ensuring they are safe, controllable, and capable of producing high-quality outputs across multiple modalities. You’ll sit at the intersection of RL, LLMs, and generative modelling, helping us build the next generation of foundation models

Responsibilities:

Develop and refine RLHF algorithms for large language and generative models.

Research and implement deep reinforcement learning methods (policy gradients, actor-critic, off-policy learning) for model alignment.

Train, fine-tune, and evaluate LLMs and diffusion models at scale.

Design experiments to align generative outputs with human and organisational preferences.

Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and human feedback teams to build scalable alignment pipelines.

Publish findings in top-tier AI conferences and contribute to open-source frameworks.

Key Requirements:

PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field.

Publications at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, or related venues.

Deep expertise in Reinforcement Learning (policy optimisation, reward modelling, RLHF).

Hands-on experience training/fine-tuning generative models (LLMs, diffusion, transformers, GANs).

Strong knowledge of deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).

Proficiency in Python and standard ML libraries.

Solid foundations in probability, optimisation, and statistics.

Experience working with large-scale distributed training on GPUs/TPUs.
