The requirement is essentially for aSenior Engineer with strong AI capability, who can use AI both to build tooling and to think strategically about how AI/LLMs can be embedded into the architecture and critical business processes.
The key question is not simply “Can they use AI?” but:

• How can AI be used to improve engineering productivity and build internal tooling?
• How should AI/ML models be incorporated into the architecture?
• How do you safely run critical business processes using these technologies?
• How do you translate AI capability into tangible business value?

• The initial requirement iscontract, but we are open to candidates who could potentially move into a permanent role — effectively a“try before you buy” approach.
• Day rate: approximately£800-900 per day with flexibility for the right person.
• The expectation isthree days a week in the office, with Monday and Friday specifically being office days.
• This is a genuinelyoffice-based team. A lot of the work involves whiteboarding, architecture discussions and close collaboration, so candidates need to be comfortable being in more than they are out.
