Summary: The AI Software Engineer role focuses on backend development with an emphasis on AI and machine learning technologies. Candidates should possess strong Python skills and experience in building production-ready AI systems, particularly in renewable energy innovation. The position offers the autonomy of a startup within a larger organization and requires expertise in cloud platforms and scalable data pipelines. This is a remote contract position with a competitive daily rate.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and scale backend systems, APIs, and ML pipelines for AI applications.
  • Implement and optimise ML models including classification, regression, recommendation systems, NLP, and LLMs.
  • Design AI system architecture patterns and workflows similar to large-scale data pipelines.
  • Contribute to evaluation frameworks for acceptance testing and performance monitoring.
  • Deploy solutions in multi-cloud environments using Docker/Kubernetes.
  • Apply modern MLOps practices and CI/CD for productionisation.
  • Collaborate on AI projects to accelerate renewable energy innovation.
  • Mentor junior engineers/data scientists and drive technical design reviews.

Key Skills:

  • Senior-level experience in Python, with additional C++/C# skills valued.
  • Hands-on experience with GenAI/LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, and RAG pipelines.
  • MLOps expertise including MLflow, SageMaker, Airflow, and CI/CD practices.
  • Experience with AWS/Azure and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Ability to handle large datasets and distributed systems (Spark).
  • Strong grounding in algorithms, optimisation, and performance tuning.
  • Hybrid skill set with approximately 60% backend, 20% AI/ML, and 20% data engineering.
  • Ability to work independently and deliver production-grade AI solutions.

AI Software Engineer, Contract, Backend Focus | Python, C++/C#, ML & LLMs | AWS/Azure | Data Handling | Renewable Energy Innovation Hub | £575-700/day, Outside | 6-month + | Remote, UK

We’re supporting a global leader investing heavily in renewable energy innovation. You’ll join a startup-style AI engineering team inside a major organisation - giving you both the scale and impact of an enterprise and the autonomy of a smaller unit. This role is designed for a senior backend engineer (Python, C++ or C#) who has moved into AI/ML. The ideal profile is someone with deep backend fundamentals, strong Python skills, and proven experience building production-ready AI systems (GenAI, LLMs, RAG). If you’ve worked across cloud platforms and designed scalable data/ML pipelines, you’ll be exactly the kind of candidate we want to speak with.

What You’ll Do as a AI Software Engineer, Contract, Backend Focus | Python, C++/C#, ML & LLMs | AWS/Azure | Data Handling | Renewable Energy Innovation Hub | £575-700/day | 6-month + | Remote, UK

  • Build and scale backend systems, APIs, and ML pipelines powering real-world AI applications.
  • Implement and optimise ML models: classification, regression, recommendation systems, NLP, LLMs.
  • Design AI system architecture patterns and workflows (similar to large-scale data pipelines).
  • Contribute to evaluation frameworks (acceptance testing, performance monitoring, production readiness).
  • Deploy solutions in multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure) using Docker/Kubernetes.
  • Apply modern MLOps practices (MLflow, SageMaker, Airflow) and CI/CD for productionisation.
  • Collaborate on AI projects that accelerate renewable energy innovation globally.
  • Mentor junior engineers/data scientists and drive technical design reviews.

What You’ll Bring as a AI Software Engineer, Contract, Backend Focus | Python, C++/C#, ML & LLMs | AWS/Azure | Data Handling | Renewable Energy Innovation Hub | £575-700/day | 6-month + | Remote, UK

  • Backend first: Senior-level experience in Python (essential), with additional C++/C# skills valued.
  • Applied AI: Hands-on experience with GenAI/LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, and RAG pipelines.
  • MLOps expertise: MLflow, SageMaker, Airflow, plus CI/CD and observability practices.
  • Cloud & architecture: AWS/Azure and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience handling large datasets and distributed systems (Spark).
  • Strong grounding in algorithms, optimisation, and performance tuning.
  • Hybrid skill set (approx. 60% backend, 20% AI/ML, 20% data engineering).
  • Ability to work independently, contribute architectural insight, and deliver production-grade AI.
