About the Role

167 Solutions is recruiting a talented AI Engineer to join a forward-thinking, AI-focused team based in Bristol. This is an exciting opportunity for a developer who loves moving fast, building from the ground up and working at the cutting edge of AI, Generative AI and Data.

You'll be hands-on across the full stack, using TypeScript and AWS to design, prototype and ship products rapidly. A strong appetite for "vibe coding" and AI-assisted rapid prototyping is key - you'll be turning ideas into working software quickly, iterating fast and helping shape the direction of new AI-driven products.

This role suits someone who is equally comfortable writing production-grade code and rapidly spinning up proofs of concept, and who can communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Hybrid working is on offer, based in Bristol.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design, build and ship full stack applications across front end and back end using TypeScript.

• Architect, deploy and maintain cloud-native solutions on AWS.

• Rapidly prototype new ideas and proofs of concept, leveraging AI/Gen AI tooling to accelerate delivery ("vibe coding").

• Build and integrate AI, Generative AI and Data-driven features into products.

• Work within an Agile environment, contributing to sprint planning, stand-ups and iterative delivery.

• Collaborate closely with product, design and data colleagues to translate ideas into working software.

• Engage with stakeholders to gather requirements, manage expectations and demo progress.

• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to code reviews.

• Continuously explore and adopt new tools, frameworks and AI capabilities to improve velocity and quality.

• Take ownership of features end to end, from concept through to production and iteration.

Key Technical Skills Required

Essential

• Minimum 3 years' commercial software development experience.

• Strong full stack development skills with TypeScript (front end and back end).

• Solid hands-on experience with AWS (e.g. Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, etc.).

• Demonstrable experience in rapid prototyping and AI-assisted / "vibe coding" workflows.

• Exposure to AI, Generative AI and/or Data projects and tooling.

• Experience working in Agile delivery environments.

• Excellent communication skills and proven stakeholder management ability.

• Ability to work hybrid from Bristol.

Desirable

• Experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js or similar).

• Familiarity with LLM APIs and Gen AI frameworks (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain).

• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. CDK, Terraform).

• Experience with data pipelines, databases or analytics tooling.

• A portfolio, GitHub or examples of side projects / prototypes.

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary of £40,000 - £70,000 (depending on experience).

• Hybrid working based in Bristol.

• The chance to work at the forefront of AI, Generative AI and Data.

• A fast-paced, innovative environment where rapid prototyping and new ideas are encouraged.

• Genuine ownership and the opportunity to shape cutting-edge products.
