Senior Engineer (AI First)
Senior Engineer (AI First)
Location: Leeds (at least 1 day per week)
Company: One of the most exciting AI Product consultancies to hit the market in the last 12 months
Why Join?
Company X is growing fast, winning serious enterprise work, and building an in-house AI capability that moves quicker than the competition.
With a raft of new projects ready to go in, we’re looking for multiple AI Engineers to join the team.
We’re looking for innovators, the kind of engineer who doesn’t just read about new tools, but builds with them at home. If you’ve got your own lab, side projects, half-finished experiments, or AI products you tinker with at night… keep reading.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Designing and building AI-first products for a diverse client base, from early-stage HealthTech startups to globally recognised automotive brands
- Shipping production-grade LLM-powered systems, including orchestration, agent frameworks, and conversational experiences that users actually rely on
- Owning the full product lifecycle, from early discovery and rapid prototyping through to scalable, enterprise-ready delivery
- Working at the intersection of product, engineering, and AI, translating real user problems into pragmatic technical solutions
- Embedding AI capability into products and teams, so value and knowledge stay inside the business rather than with external vendors
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.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re not looking for someone who just knows how to prompt a model or pass a certification.
We’re looking for an AI Engineer who lives for the "What if?", the kind of person whose:
- Browser tabs are a graveyard of GitHub repos
- Local machine is probably running a custom LLM right now just because they wanted to see if they could
Ideal candidates offer a mixture of the following:
- Experience in AI engineering, automation, workflow engineering, or software development, with real projects shipped to production
- Hands-on experience building AI-powered products (not just prototypes), from orchestration to deployment
- Strong exposure to LLMs such as Claude, Codex, Gemini, or open-source models
- Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks and agent-based systems (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, custom agent frameworks)
- Familiarity with prompt engineering, tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-agent workflows
- Experience integrating AI into real systems, APIs, event-driven architectures, data pipelines, and automation platforms (e.g., UiPath, Blue Prism)
- Comfortable experimenting with new models, SDKs, and platforms, and evaluating what’s production-ready vs hype
