Applied AI Engineer
Posted Updated
Summary
Early-career, UK-remote role at Nasstar supporting senior engineers to design, build and deploy production applied-AI systems for clients. Day to day involves coding AI features, code reviews and learning the stack — centred on Python, GenAI/LLMs, RAG and cloud platforms like AWS and Databricks.
As trusted partners of AWS and Databricks, we help organisations design, build and scale intelligent systems that deliver measurable business outcomes. We lead from the front in Generative and Applied AI adoption — guiding clients from uncertainty to confident, production-grade delivery.
This is a key role in our Engineering practice — the building work that takes AI from concept to production. As an Applied AI Engineer you'll support the design, build and deployment of applied AI systems under the guidance of senior engineers, learning our tools, patterns and standards as you grow. It's a role for someone technically curious and eager to learn, with clear progression into more senior engineering roles.
The role is remote based in UK with the occasional travel to company events.
