AI Engineer job at Manchester, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom Full Time NEW

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.
