AI Engineer - Contract (6 Months, Outside IR35)
Fully Remote | SC Clearance Required
We're recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing UK technology company building AI-powered software used in critical, real-world operations. The work goes straight into live, production systems that real users depend on, in a sector where reliability and security are non-negotiable.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join on a 6-month contract, integrating LLM's and broader AI capabilities into production-grade software. You'll work as part of a cross-functional team, translating complex product requirements into reliable, scalable technical solutions, building AI that works, not just AI that demos well.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
