AI EngineerBelfast (Hybrid - 3 days in office) | Full-timeAt a GlanceRole: AI EngineerLocation: Belfast - Hybrid (3 days in office)Employment Type: Full-timeExperience: 4+ years software engineering | 2+ years AI/ML engineeringStack Highlights: Go or Java | LLMs | ML Platforms | Cloud-nativeDomain: Applied AI within a cloud security environmentWho You'll Work ForOur client operates in the cloud security space, building intelligent systems that protect organisations at scale. They are investing heavily in applied AI - not as an experiment, but as a core part of their product and platform strategy. The engineering culture is technically rigorous, cross-functional and genuinely collaborative, with AI, security and engineering teams working in close alignment. This is a high-impact environment where the work you do shapes both the product and the platform that powers it.What You'll Be DoingYou'll work across the full lifecycle of AI-driven systems - from platform infrastructure through to production features. Your day-to-day will span:Building autonomous systems to automate complex security workflows end-to-endDeveloping and shipping AI-driven features into live production environmentsContributing to an internal AI platform designed for scalable, reusable model deploymentWorking on adaptive models that learn and evolve from real customer environmentsDeveloping systems that correlate data across multiple sources to quantify and surface riskContributing to AI-driven threat detection capabilitiesCollaborating closely with engineering, research and security teamsYour ImpactThis is a role with meaningful reach. The systems you build will directly influence how security threats are detected, triaged and resolved - at scale, in real environments. You'll help shape the internal AI platform that other engineers build on, and your contributions to adaptive modelling and risk quantification will have lasting product impact. In a domain where the stakes are high, the engineering needs to match and you'll be central to making that happen.What We're Looking ForEssential4+ years of commercial software engineering experience2+ years of dedicated AI or machine learning engineering experienceStrong programming skills in Go or JavaHands-on experience working with LLMs and modern AI frameworksExperience building or contributing to ML platforms or internal AI toolingDemonstrated ability to work across complex, multi-source data environmentsDesirableExperience in a security, threat intelligence or data-intensive product domainFamiliarity with MLOps practices and model lifecycle managementExposure to autonomous agents, agentic workflows or tool-use patterns with LLMsExperience with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure)A track record of shipping AI features into high-reliability production systemsWhat's In It For YouWork at the forefront of applied AI in a genuinely complex, high-stakes domainHigh-impact role with direct influence over intelligent systems and platform directionCollaborative environment spanning AI, engineering, research and securityHybrid working with a Belfast-based teamReal technical challenges with real-world consequences not toy problemsIf you're interested or have any further questions on the role, please feel free to reach out to Eve Geddis directly on LinkedIn.Skills:AI ML Backend EngineeringBenefits:Pension Fund Medical Aid / Health CareWHJS1_NI
