I'm currently recruiting for an exciting opportunity with a leading global technology organisation looking for an experienced Applied AI Product Engineer to join their Product Content Engineering team.

This is a hands‑on engineering position focused on building internal products, integrations and AI‑powered tools that help teams automate workflows, improve evaluation processes and develop new AI capabilities.

You’ll take ownership of technical solutions from initial concept through to design, development, testing, launch and ongoing improvement.

The Role:

• Design, build and operate end‑to‑end internal products, APIs, backend services and data workflows.
• Develop AI‑powered tools and agentic workflows to automate manual processes and improve operational efficiency.
• Build evaluation infrastructure and feedback systems supporting the development and improvement of AI‑powered products.
• Turn prototypes and one‑off solutions into reliable, scalable and reusable capabilities.
• Work closely with technical and non‑technical stakeholders to understand problems and translate ambiguous requirements into practical engineering solutions.
• Drive technical decisions around architecture, testing, observability and system reliability.
• Use AI‑assisted development tools to accelerate engineering delivery while independently reviewing and validating generated code.
• Measure product adoption, quality, efficiency improvements and reductions in manual work.
• 6+ years' experience in software engineering, product engineering, ML engineering or a similar hands‑on technical role.
• Proven experience independently designing, building, testing, launching and operating production software.
• Strong experience with APIs, backend services, data systems, integrations or full‑stack development.
• Ability to take ambiguous business or user problems and translate them into well‑defined technical solutions.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions and trade‑offs to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience with production engineering practices, including automated testing, observability and system reliability.
• Experience building or integrating AI/ML‑powered products, LLM‑based applications or agentic workflows.
• Experience developing internal tools, developer platforms or automated self‑service capabilities.
• Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Codex or similar.
• Experience building evaluation systems, data workflows or automation solutions.
• Understanding of responsible AI practices, including quality assurance, risk assessment and bias mitigation.

Additional Information:

• Location: Fully Remote, UK
• Contract Duration: 6 Months
• Start Date: December 2026
• Working Hours: 9am–6pm

Salary Expectations:
