Benefits

Equity

We’re partnered with a fast-scaling SaaS business building a sophisticated platform used by enterprise organisations to make smarter, data-led decisions across complex environments.

They’re now hiring a Senior / Principal Data / AI Engineer to help shape how intelligence is built into the product - from machine learning models through to emerging agentic workflows.

This is not a “pure research” role - it’s hands-on, product-focused, and ideal for someone who enjoys taking ideas from concept to production.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Designing and building production-grade ML and data-driven features
  • Working closely with product and engineering to embed AI into real-world use cases
  • Developing and maintaining data pipelines and model workflows
  • Experimenting with and implementing agentic / autonomous AI workflows
  • Contributing across the stack where needed (APIs, services, integrations)
  • Improving performance, scalability, and reliability of AI systems

Tech & Environment

  • Core: Python (machine learning, data science, AI workflows)
  • AI/ML: Applied ML, data modelling, experimentation
  • Automation / Agents: Agentic workflows, orchestration tools (e.g. n8n or similar)
  • Data: Pipelines, transformation, structured data systems
  • Bonus Exposure: Java / backend systems, full-stack environments

What They’re Looking For

  • Strong commercial experience with Python in a data/AI/ML context
  • Proven track record of building real-world ML or AI-driven features (not just notebooks)
  • Experience working with data pipelines and production systems
  • Interest or hands-on exposure to agentic workflows / AI automation
  • Ability to work across teams and take ownership of end-to-end delivery

Nice to have:

  • Experience working in a full-stack or backend-heavy environment
  • Exposure to Java-based systems
  • Background in complex SaaS or enterprise platforms

Why This Role?

  • Work on genuinely interesting AI problems, not just surface-level features
  • Opportunity to shape how AI is embedded into a growing product
  • Strong engineering culture with real ownership
  • Equity included as part of the package
  • Fully remote within the UK

If you’re building AI systems that actually get used, and want to push further into modern workflows like agents and automation, this is worth a conversation.

Apply directly or drop me a message for more details.
