This isn't a typical software engineering role.
You'll be joining a fast-growing AI company where the focus is on solving real-world problems, not maintaining legacy systems. The work is hands-on, client-facing and centred around building bespoke AI solutions from the ground up.
You'll sit at the intersection of engineering and problem-solving - working directly with clients to understand their challenges and designing AI-driven solutions that deliver real impact.
The Role
- Work directly with clients to understand their environment, challenges and goals
- Identify opportunities where AI and LLMs can deliver meaningful impact
- Design and architect bespoke AI solutions tailored to each use case
- Build, test and iterate solutions using modern AI development workflows
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to turn ideas into production systems
- Rapidly prototype and refine solutions based on real user feedback
What They're Looking For
- Strong software engineering background (Python ideally)
- Experience building production-grade applications or platforms
- Proven experience working with LLMs / Generative AI (APIs, prompt engineering, tooling)
- Comfortable working with APIs, data and cloud environments
- Experience in a client-facing or consultative role
- Ability to take loosely defined problems and turn them into working solutions
- Someone who enjoys variety, ambiguity and solving new problems
Nice to Have
- Experience with agent-based frameworks or multi-agent systems
- RAG, vector databases or knowledge graph implementations
- Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP) and containerisation
- Data pipelines, ETL or document processing
- Experience working in regulated environments
Why It's Worth a Look
- High ownership - you're designing solutions, not just delivering tickets
- Client-facing role with real influence on outcomes
- Modern AI stack with a strong focus on LLMs
- Variety of work across different industries and problem spaces
- Fast-paced environment with a bias for action
- Flexible hybrid working in Belfast
If you're an engineer who enjoys working closely with clients and wants to build AI solutions that actually get used, this is well worth a conversation.
