AI Product Engineer

AI Product Engineer

We are looking for an experienced AI Product Engineer to help build and scale AI-powered features within a modern product environment. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on integrating commercial AI APIs into a .NET ecosystem — not building models from scratch.

You will design, develop, and deliver production-ready features that rely on services such as Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, and OpenAI. AI-assisted development will be a core part of your workflow, and you will help shape how it is adopted across the engineering team.

This role is ideal for someone who has already worked in a team where AI was embedded into real products and can bring proven patterns, practices, and standards into a new environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement AI-powered product features within a C# / .NET stack
  • Integrate commercial AI APIs into production systems with reliability and scalability in mind
  • Establish best practices for AI integration across the codebase
  • Lead by example through AI-assisted development workflows
  • Pair with developers and support adoption of tools like Claude Code or Cursor
  • Build observable, maintainable systems with strong logging, cost tracking, and guardrails

Must Have

  • 5+ years experience with C# / .NET Core
  • 7+ years total commercial software engineering experience
  • Proven experience designing and shipping AI API integrations in production (.NET)
  • Experience setting patterns that other developers adopted across a team
  • Hands-on experience introducing AI-assisted development tools into a team environment
  • Strong RESTful API design skills (clean, versioned, observable)
  • Solid SQL experience (MariaDB or MySQL)
  • Focus on quality, resilience, and observability in AI-driven features

Nice to Have

  • AWS experience (EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, Bedrock)
  • Product-level prompt design and iteration practices
  • Experience with structured outputs, tool use, or function calling
  • Frontend exposure (JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt 3)
  • Microservices or distributed systems experience
  • Familiarity with Shape Up methodology
  • Awareness of secure-by-design principles (e.g. ISO 27001)

Not the Right Fit If You

  • Focus on training models rather than integrating them
  • Come from a data science background without strong engineering experience
  • Prefer Python-heavy environments and do not want to work in .NET
  • Are sceptical of AI-assisted development
  • Have not worked with paid AI APIs in production
  • Are looking for a strategy or leadership-only AI role

If you’re passionate about building real-world AI features and want to work in a team where AI is part of the engineering craft — not just a concept — we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits:

  • Hybrid working - 2 days office based
  • Training and Development budget
  • Excellent career progression
