About Us:
Inference Group is a team of engineers and innovators who believe that artificial intelligence can fundamentally improve the way organisations work. Our mission is to help businesses realise genuine value from data and AI by moving beyond prototypes and building solutions that operate reliably in the real world. As we grow, we are looking for people who are curious, practical and ambitious, and who want to contribute to the next generation of AI enabled consulting. You will work with experienced data and AI specialists to develop intelligent agents and applied AI systems that support decision making, automate complex tasks and open new possibilities for our clients. We are entering an exciting phase of expansion and are seeking a Junior AI Engineer who can help extend our engineering capability by designing and building agent based systems that will power the future of our AI programmes.
The Role:
In this role, you will help design, build and deploy intelligent AI agents that automate research, analysis and decision making across complex data and business processes. Working closely with an expert team of data and AI engineers, you will turn real organisational challenges into autonomous agents that can retrieve information, reason over context, integrate with systems and produce outputs that drive meaningful action. You will experiment with large language models, build retrieval and tool use workflows, engineer integrations and optimise agents for reliability, performance and accuracy. This is a hands on and high impact role for someone who is excited about applied AI and who wants to help reimagine how consulting is delivered so that it is faster, smarter and ready for the future. You will contribute directly to the creation of agentic systems that deliver measurable value for clients and transform how problems are solved.
Note: This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship; you must have the permanent right to work in the UK.
Key Responsibilities Include
* Assist in designing, developing, and testing AI and ML models.
* Work with large data sets to analyse, clean, and prepare data for modelling.
* Support deployment and monitoring of AI solutions in production environments.
* Help evaluate and compare model performance and accuracy.
* Collaborate with engineers, data scientists, and consultants on client projects.
* Stay curious — learn new tools, technologies, and frameworks that keep us at the forefront of AI innovation.
What You Bring
We’re looking for a graduate or early-career professional who has a strong technical foundation and is eager to learn. You might have studied one of the following:
Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative or technical field such as Computer Science, Data Science, Maths/Applied Maths, Statistics, AI/Machine Learning, or Electrical/Electronic Engineering.
* Solid understanding of programming (Python, R, or C#).
* Project experience in machine learning, data modelling, or AI research.
* Exposure to cloud tools such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS is a plus.
* Analytical thinker with strong problem-solving skills.
* A self-starter who leans in, learns fast, always a step ahead of a problem and loves delivering impact for clients.
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
* Enthusiasm for learning and experimenting with new ideas.
