Applied AI Engineer / Forward-Deployed AI Engineer

Job Description

Applied AI Engineer / Forward-Deployed AI Engineer


We’re looking for an Applied AI Engineer who can design, build, and deploy real-world AI solutions — not just prototypes.


This role suits someone who enjoys solving complex business problems with modern AI, cloud, software engineering, and machine learning tools. You’ll work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to turn ideas into reliable, scalable, production-ready systems.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Building AI-powered applications using LLMs, RAG, agents, and automation workflows
  • Designing scalable solutions across cloud, data, and software platforms
  • Developing production-grade Python services, APIs, and integrations
  • Taking AI/ML solutions from discovery through to deployment
  • Working with stakeholders to understand problems and shape practical technical solutions
  • Supporting best practice across security, reliability, monitoring, and governance
  • Helping teams move from AI experimentation to measurable business impact


Skills we’re looking for:

  • Strong experience in AI engineering, ML engineering, software engineering, platform engineering, or cloud delivery
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows, or applied GenAI solutions
  • Strong Python experience, ideally with APIs, FastAPI, serverless, or event-driven systems
  • Cloud experience across Azure, AWS, or GCP
  • Understanding of MLOps, CI/CD, model deployment, monitoring, or production support
  • Ability to communicate clearly with technical and business stakeholders
  • A delivery-focused mindset and confidence working in fast-moving environments


Useful experience:

  • Vector databases, embeddings, retrieval pipelines, prompt engineering, or LLM frameworks
  • Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, Vertex AI, Databricks, or similar platforms
  • Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and cloud-native architecture
  • React, Next.js, or front-end engineering exposure
  • Experience working in consulting, SaaS, scale-up, enterprise, or client-facing environments


The ideal person


You’ll be someone who is excited by applied AI but understands the reality of making it work in production: performance, security, reliability, governance, user adoption, and commercial value.

This is a strong opportunity for an engineer who wants to work on practical AI solutions that solve genuine business problems and make a visible impact.
