Job Description

AI Engineer - Outside IR35 // Fully Remote // 500 a day

About the Company

We’re hiring an experienced AI-focused Engineer to join a consultancy delivering a large, high-impact programme of work.

Responsibilities

  • You’ll work hands-on with tools like Claude Code, building and embedding ways of working that engineers can rely on every day, including:
  • Skills, hooks, and AGENTS.md
  • MCP servers and remote tooling
  • Subagents and specialised review agents
  • Evaluation frameworks and feedback loops

Qualifications

  • We want someone who can turn AI into practical, repeatable engineering leverage.

Required Skills

  • Building governed, reusable workflows instead of relying on prompting or ad hoc usage
  • Using deterministic tooling such as tests, linters, type checks, compilers, and security checks to ensure models prove outputs rather than guess
  • Standardising how engineers and agents operate within repositories using skills, hooks, and AGENTS.md
  • Connecting agents to real systems of record through MCP and remote tooling such as Storybook, Figma, internal platforms, documentation, and security tooling

Preferred Skills

  • You should be comfortable:
  • Designing and implementing subagents and specialised agents for code review, security, and architecture without introducing unnecessary complexity
  • Working directly in codebases and improving developer workflows
  • Building systems that engineers actually adopt and trust

 

A key part of the role is understanding where AI fails and improving it:

  • Identifying failure patterns and gaps in performance
  • Feeding insights back into skills, prompts, context, and tooling
  • Continuously improving reliability and usefulness over time

 

This role is for you if:

  • You think like an engineer first, with strong systems thinking
  • You care about building robust, production-ready environments
  • You want to make AI genuinely useful across teams, not just interesting

 

If you’re excited about building the engineering foundations that make AI work at scale, we’d love to speak.
