The opportunity


We are working with an innovative technology and entertainment business that develops advanced interactive experiences for commercial and government clients.


The company is looking for a hands-on AI Engineer to help build its internal AI capability. This is not simply an API integration role. You will train, fine-tune, deploy and optimise AI models, including running models locally on company-owned GPU infrastructure.


You will work closely with a highly experienced technical leader and take ownership of projects spanning local LLMs, computer vision, multimodal AI, RAG and secure offline deployment.


What you will be doing

• Building, fine-tuning and evaluating AI and machine-learning models
• Deploying and serving models locally using GPU infrastructure
• Developing RAG systems using proprietary datasets, embeddings and vector search
• Building computer-vision and multimodal solutions
• Working with object detection, tracking and real-time model inference
• Optimising models through quantisation, latency reduction and GPU-memory management
• Creating APIs and integrating AI capabilities into existing applications
• Developing evaluation frameworks, guardrails and hallucination controls
• Supporting deployments within offline, air-gapped or security-restricted environments
• Taking technical ownership from experimentation through to production
• Working directly with senior technical leadership to challenge ideas and shape the AI roadmap

Essential Experience

• Strong commercial experience in AI, machine learning or deep learning
• Advanced Python development ...
