    We're looking for an AI Engineer to join a growing team focused on one thing: using artificial intelligence to make every part of the business smarter, faster and more effective.

What we're looking for You'll enjoy solving problems, questioning how things are done and using technology to improve the way people work. Ideally, you'll have experience with: - Python software development. - React or modern front-end frameworks. - Microsoft Azure or another major cloud platform. - APIs and systems integration. - AI technologies such as LLMs, Azure OpenAI, prompt engineering or retrieval-based AI. Commercial AI experience is welcome, but we're equally interested in engineers who are actively building with AI outside of work and can demonstrate curiosity, initiative and a desire to learn. Why join? - Build AI solutions that transform the way an ambitious consultancy operates. - Work with modern AI technologies as part of your day-to-day role. - Help shape internal platforms and engineering standards from an early stage. - Collaborate with experienced AI specialists in a highly innovative environment. - Join a culture that encourages experimentation, continuous learning and fresh thinking. - See the direct impact of your work across the wider business.
