Job description

AI Engineer - AI Implementation

Salary: Up to £70,000

Location: Remote-first, UK, with occasional travel to client sites

About The Company

Maxwell Bond is supporting a growing technology consultancy that helps organisations use technology to solve practical business challenges. The company works with clients across a range of industries, delivering software, automation and artificial intelligence solutions designed to improve operations and create measurable commercial value.

As the consultancy continues to expand its AI capability, it is looking for engineers who can combine strong software development skills with a practical understanding of how businesses operate. The focus is on applying established technologies effectively, rather than developing machine learning models or complex AI systems from the ground up.

About The Role

This is a hands-on AI engineering role for someone who enjoys turning business requirements into working technical solutions. You will contribute to client projects involving AI implementation, application development, system integrations and workflow automation. The work will vary according to each client's needs, so you should be comfortable moving between technologies and project types.

Potential projects include implementing Microsoft Copilot, integrating large language models into existing systems, building AI-powered receptionists, automating tender processes, developing bespoke training platforms and creating new AI-enabled products. You will help clients identify where AI can make a meaningful difference and deliver solutions that are useful, reliable and appropriate to their goals.

The position is remote-first, with occasional UK travel for client meetings or project requirements. You will work directly with external customers and collaborate with colleagues to deliver projects from initial discovery through implementation.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering experience, including building, integrating and deploying applications.
• Commercial experience implementing AI technologies in business environments.
• Experience in a technology consultancy, software consultancy or managed service provider, delivering solutions for external clients.
• Practical knowledge of integrating existing LLMs, APIs and third-party platforms with applications or business systems.
• An understanding of business process automation and workflow development.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure is preferred; candidates with AWS or Google Cloud Platform experience will also be considered.
• Familiarity with tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Claude and AI-assisted development technologies.
• The ability to understand client requirements and translate business problems into clear, practical technical solutions.

Commercial awareness is important. You should be able to understand the outcomes a client wants, ask considered questions, challenge requirements constructively and recommend an appropriately simple solution when it offers the best value. You will need to take ownership, communicate clearly and adapt to changing priorities.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and implement AI-enabled applications and business solutions for clients.
• Integrate LLMs, APIs and third-party services into existing software and operational systems.
• Develop bespoke applications and automate workflows to address specific business needs.
• Engage with clients to clarify requirements, identify opportunities and shape suitable technical approaches.
• Deliver solutions through implementation, testing and deployment, ensuring they work effectively in real business environments.
• Contribute to a varied project portfolio and support the continued development of the consultancy’s AI services and products.

Benefits

The role offers a salary of up to £70,000 and a remote-first working arrangement, with occasional travel to client sites across the UK. You will have the opportunity to work across multiple industries, deliver varied AI and software projects, and contribute to new products and services as the business grows. The position also offers hands-on involvement in practical AI adoption and the chance to take ownership of client-facing delivery.

Equal Opportunity

Maxwell Bond welcomes applications from people with relevant skills and experience from all backgrounds. Candidates will be considered fairly on their ability to meet the requirements of the role and contribute to effective, respectful client delivery.
