Senior Backend AI Engineer – Contract
£600 – £625 per day
Outside IR35
Fully Remote – UK
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Backend AI Engineer to join a technical team building production-grade software with AI capabilities.
This is primarily a backend engineering role, rather than a pure AI/ML position. You’ll be responsible for designing and delivering reliable Python services while integrating modern LLM capabilities where appropriate.
You’ll have a high level of technical ownership and will be comfortable reviewing code, making engineering decisions and taking features through to production.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong commercial Python engineering experience
- FastAPI and asynchronous Python
- Experience building and supporting production APIs/services
- Strong approach to testing, typed code and maintainability
- Experience owning code quality and conducting senior-level code reviews
- AWS or similar cloud experience
- Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
- Comfortable with Docker and modern deployment practices
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools within engineering workflows
AI Experience
You’ll ideally have practical experience integrating LLMs into production applications, including some of:
Reasons to use Rodeo
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- RAG
- LLM orchestration / agentic workflows
- Structured outputs
- LLM evaluation and testing
- Production AI integrations
Useful Additional Experience
Experience with any of the following would be beneficial:
- Kubernetes
- PostgreSQL
- Security-conscious or regulated environments
- Deploying software into complex customer environments
- React / TypeScript
- Working with sensitive data
We’re looking for someone who is fundamentally a strong senior backend engineer and has subsequently developed meaningful experience building with modern AI/LLM technologies.
