Senior Backend AI Engineer – Contract
£600 – £625 per day
Outside IR35
Fully Remote – UK
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Backend AI Engineer to join a technical team building production-grade software with AI capabilities.
This is primarily a backend engineering role, rather than a pure AI/ML position. You’ll be responsible for designing and delivering reliable Python services while integrating modern LLM capabilities where appropriate.
You’ll have a high level of technical ownership and will be comfortable reviewing code, making engineering decisions and taking features through to production.
What We’re Looking For
Strong commercial Python engineering experience
FastAPI and asynchronous Python
Experience building and supporting production APIs/services
Strong approach to testing, typed code and maintainability
Experience owning code quality and conducting senior-level code reviews
AWS or similar cloud experience
Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
Comfortable with Docker and modern deployment practices
Experience using AI-assisted development tools within engineering workflows
AI Experience
You’ll ideally have practical experience integrating LLMs into production applications, including some of:
RAG
LLM orchestration / agentic workflows
Structured outputs
LLM evaluation and testing
Production AI integrations
Useful Additional Experience
Experience with any of the following would be beneficial:
Kubernetes
PostgreSQL
Security-conscious or regulated environments
Deploying software into complex customer environments
React / TypeScript
Working with sensitive data
We’re looking for someone who is fundamentally a strong senior backend engineer and has subsequently developed meaningful experience building with modern AI/LLM technologies.
