We're representing a global AI-first organisation seeking a Principal AI Engineer to join a newly expanded product engineering function.

This is an opportunity to join a team where AI is the product.

The business is investing heavily in intelligent systems that help users learn, create and solve problems faster. They're looking for someone who can bridge engineering excellence, product thinking and cutting-edge AI development.

The Opportunity

You'll play a key role in building new AI capabilities from the ground up, working on products that combine advanced AI with exceptional user experiences.

Rather than maintaining existing systems, you'll be focused on creating, testing and launching new ideas that deliver measurable value to customers.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Designing and developing next-generation AI applications
  • Creating sophisticated AI workflows and product features
  • Experimenting with new approaches to improve user outcomes
  • Collaborating closely with product and engineering teams
  • Driving technical decisions across AI initiatives
  • Helping shape the future direction of AI within the organisation
About You

This role would suit someone who enjoys solving difficult problems and turning ideas into products people actively use.

We're particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:
  • Commercial delivery of AI products
  • Strong hands-on engineering capability
  • Experience working across product and technology teams
  • Deep curiosity for emerging AI technologies
  • A history of building things, whether professionally or through personal projects
  • The ability to balance technical excellence with customer impact
What's on Offer
  • Fully remote working
  • Significant influence on product strategy
  • Access to cutting-edge AI projects
  • Opportunity to work with a highly regarded international team
