Senior AI Solutions Engineer

AI Solutions Engineer (Senior / Lead) Belfast (Hybrid) Permanent

This isn't your typical engineering role.

You'll be joining a fast-moving AI company working on complex, real-world problems across sectors like defence, finance and public services. The focus here is not maintaining systems - it's designing and building solutions from scratch.

You'll act as a technical partner to clients, understanding their challenges and shaping AI-driven solutions that actually make an impact.

The Role

• Work directly with clients to understand their environment and challenges
• Identify opportunities where AI can solve real problems
• Design and architect bespoke solutions on a modern AI platform
• Collaborate with engineers to build, test and refine solutions
• Rapidly prototype and iterate based on real feedback
• (Lead level) Support and mentor other engineers, helping shape delivery

What They're Looking For

• Strong background in software engineering (Python ideally)
• Experience building production systems or platforms
• Comfortable working with APIs, data and modern cloud environments
• Exposure to AI/LLMs, or strong interest in this space
• Ability to work with clients and translate problems into solutions
• Someone who enjoys ambiguity and solving new problems

Nice to Have

• Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering or agent frameworks
• RAG, vector databases or knowledge graphs
• Cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP) and containerisation
• Data pipelines or ETL work
• Experience in regulated environments

Why It's Worth a Look

• Proper ownership - you're shaping solutions, not just building tickets
• Variety - different clients, different problems every week
• Modern tech - AI-first engineering environment
• Strong engineering culture with a bias for action
• Flexible hybrid working in Belfast
• Genuinely interesting problems to solve

If you're someone who enjoys working closely with clients and building solutions from the ground up, this is worth a conversation.
