Job Title: AI/ML Engineer
Location: Newcastle Upon Tyne
Salary: Up to £140,000 + bonus (DOE)
A boutique technical consultancy is deliberately building one of the most academically and technically elite AI engineering teams in the UK.
They work on demanding AI and software problems in highly regulated, mission-critical environments. The problems are hard, the standards are high, and the work carries genuine significance.
This is a hands-on senior engineering role with real breadth, spanning proof of concept through to fully engineered production systems, applied research and direct client engagement. You'll work alongside exceptional engineers in a collaborative, low-ego culture where technical depth is valued and knowledge sharing is central to how the team operates.

- Excellent Python and solid software engineering fundamentals across testing, code quality and best practices
- Proven delivery across the full AI stack, from research and POC through to production
- Minimum 2:1 from a Russell Group university in Computer Science, Mathematics, Machine Learning or a related discipline. Masters or PhD a strong bonus
- Eligibility for UK SC-level security clearance. UK nationals only, no visa sponsorship
