Lead AI Enablement Engineer

Lead AI Enablement Engineer | Belfast

I'm looking for a senior engineer who enjoys sitting down with a team, figuring out where AI could make their day easier, and then getting hands-on and building it.

My client already has AI tools in use across the business. They're hiring someone to take ownership of those tools and build the integrations that make them useful in day-to-day work.

It's roughly a 50/50 split between hands-on engineering and working with teams. You could spend the morning with Finance or HR working through a manual process, then spend the afternoon building the API integration or connector that helps automate it. You'll also work with engineering teams on how they use tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot.

What I'm looking for

• A strong software engineering background, or a Solutions Architect who still likes to build.

• Hands-on experience connecting systems through APIs, plugins or connectors, and an example of where you've used AI tooling to solve a real problem.

• Someone who can sit down with a non-technical team, understand how they work and turn that into something they can build.

Experience with Claude, MCP, AWS or agentic coding tools would be useful. There's flexibility on the tech stack.

Why it's worth a look

• You'll be the first dedicated lead in this area, with the backing to shape how AI is used across the business.

• You'll have room to spot opportunities yourself, build something and see how it changes the way people work.

• There's already approval to grow the team. You can help build and lead it over time or stay hands-on on the Principal engineer path.

If this sounds like your sort of role, drop me a message or email me at r.walker@mcsgroup.jobs for a confidential chat.
