Senior AI Solutions Engineer

Summary

A Senior AI Solutions Engineer works with clients to understand challenges and design/build bespoke AI solutions on a modern AI platform, collaborating with engineers and mentoring others.

AI Solutions Engineer (Senior / Lead)
?? Belfast (Hybrid)
?? Permanent

This isn't your typical engineering role.

You'll be joining a fast-moving AI company working on complex, real-world problems across sectors like defence, finance and public services. The focus here is not maintaining systems - it's designing and building solutions from scratch.

You'll act as a technical partner to clients, understanding their challenges and shaping AI-driven solutions that actually make an impact.



The Role

  • Work directly with clients to understand their environment and challenges
  • Identify opportunities where AI can solve real problems
  • Design and architect bespoke solutions on a modern AI platform
  • Collaborate with engineers to build, test and refine solutions
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate based on real feedback
  • (Lead level) Support and mentor other engineers, helping shape delivery


What They're Looking For

  • Strong background in software engineering (Python ideally)
  • Experience building production systems or platforms
  • Comfortable working with APIs, data and modern cloud environments
  • Exposure to AI/LLMs, or strong interest in this space
  • Ability to work with clients and translate problems into solutions
  • Someone who enjoys ambiguity and solving new problems


Nice to Have

  • Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering or agent frameworks
  • RAG, vector databases or knowledge graphs
  • Cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP) and containerisation
  • Data pipelines or ETL work
  • Experience in regulated environments


Why It's Worth a Look

  • Proper ownership - you're shaping solutions, not just building tickets
  • Variety - different clients, different problems every week
  • Modern tech - AI-first engineering environment
  • Strong engineering culture with a bias for action
  • Flexible hybrid working in Belfast
  • Genuinely interesting problems to solve

If you're someone who enjoys working closely with clients and building solutions from the ground up, this is worth a conversation.
