## Job Description

AI Engineer

At a Glance

AI Engineer, working across applied AI and platform engineering

Belfast, hybrid (3 days in office)

Circa £80,000 to £120,000, dependent on experience

4+ years software engineering, 2+ years dedicated AI/ML engineering

Stack: Go or Java, LLMs, ML platforms, cloud-native infrastructure

About the Company

Our client operates in the cloud security space, building intelligent systems that protect organisations at scale. They are investing heavily in applied AI, not as an experiment, but as a core part of their product and platform strategy. The engineering culture is technically rigorous, cross-functional and genuinely collaborative, with AI, security and engineering teams working in close alignment.

This is a high-impact environment where the work you do shapes both the product and the platform that powers it.

The Role

You'll work across the full lifecycle of AI-driven systems, from platform infrastructure through to production features. Day to day, you'll build autonomous systems that automate complex security workflows end to end, develop and ship AI-driven features into live production environments, and contribute to an internal AI platform designed for scalable, reusable model deployment. You'll work on adaptive models that learn and evolve from real customer environments, develop systems that correlate data across multiple sources to quantify and surface risk, and contribute to AI-driven threat detection capabilities, collaborating closely with engineering, research and security teams.

Your Impact

This is a role with meaningful reach. The systems you build will directly influence how security threats are detected, triaged and resolved, at scale, in real environments. You'll help shape the internal AI platform that other engineers build on, and your contributions to adaptive modelling and risk quantification will have lasting product impact.

In a domain where the stakes are high, the engineering needs to match, and you'll be central to making that happen.

What You'll Need

Essential:

4+ years of commercial software engineering experience

2+ years of dedicated AI or machine learning engineering experience

Strong programming skills in Go or Java

Hands-on experience working with LLMs and modern AI frameworks

Experience building or contributing to ML platforms or internal AI tooling

Demonstrated ability to work across complex, multi-source data environments

Desirable / Nice to Have:

Experience in a security, threat intelligence or data-intensive product domain

Familiarity with MLOps practices and model lifecycle management

Exposure to autonomous agents, agentic workflows or tool-use patterns with LLMs

Experience with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure)

A track record of shipping AI features into high-reliability production systems

Why Apply?

Circa £80,000 to £120,000, dependent on experience

Work at the forefront of applied AI in a genuinely complex, high-stakes domain

High-impact role with direct influence over intelligent systems and platform direction

Collaborative environment spanning AI, engineering, research and security

Hybrid working with a Belfast-based team

Real technical challenges with real-world consequences, not toy problems
