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.
