Artificial Intelligence Engineer

90,000 - 130,000London Area,AI Engineer LLMs / Python / PyTorch / Rust | Defence AI | UKAre you an AI Engineer who wants to work on problems where model performance, reliability and real-world impact genuinely matter?I'm working with a highly ambitious, VC-backed AI start-up building advanced AI systems for some of the most demanding defence and national security environments.

They're looking for exceptional AI Engineers to build and deploy production-grade agentic systems, working on problems that go far beyond standard LLM applications. Why it's interesting:Build advanced AI agents capable of taking actions in secure, highly controlled environmentsWork on LLM orchestration, agent architectures and model optimisationExplore multimodal AI, computer vision and real-time sensor dataTake ownership of AI systems from research and prototyping through to productionSolve challenging problems around reliability, safety, scalability and deploymentJoin an exceptionally strong engineering team with significant technical autonomyWhat we're looking for:Strong foundations in machine learning, deep learning and applied mathematicsProduction experience building agentic AI / LLM-based systemsStrong programming ability in Python, Rust, C++ or JavaExperience with PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow or agent orchestration frameworksExcellent engineering judgement and the ability to turn research into robust, production-ready AIA genuine interest in solving difficult technical problems with real-world consequencesPhDs, top-tier ML research publications and experience deploying AI in constrained or regulated environments are a bonus.

The technical bar is high. We're looking for engineers who combine deep ML understanding with the ability to build AI systems that actually work outside a research environment.ð UK | Office-first with flexibilityUK right to work and eligibility for SC clearance required.
