AI Engineer

  • Location: Flexible (UK)
  • Reporting to the Squad leader
  • Salary: £80k–£100k

The company is a global hospitality software leader with its award-winning SaaS platform. Recognised in the UK’s Top 35 AI Companies, and a leader in hospitality tech — it has built a reputation for innovation, excellence, and a relentless drive to transform the experience ecosystem.

As we enter a new era of AI-driven product development, we are seeking a hands-on, visionary Data Scientist to help shape the future of our platform and accelerate our transformation.

The Opportunity

  • You will work closely with our 46-strong engineering team, guiding and influencing how AI, ML, and LLM-based technologies are embedded into our product, processes, and pricing models.
  • Your work will be project-driven, and highly visible — with the unique satisfaction of seeing your innovations deployed instantly to tens of thousands of clients worldwide.
  • This is a role for someone who wants to build, not just advise. Someone who wants to lead by example, not from the sidelines. Someone who wants to shape the future of a global SaaS platform.

What You will Bring

Core Expertise

  • Proven experience delivering AI-prompt engineering, writing skills, and working with LLMs in real-world applications. You can demonstrate:
  • Either a track record of implementing and documenting CLI & MCP services and advanced AI workflows.
  • or hands-on experience building and deploying ML or Deep Learning pricing/ analytical models.
  • You are familiar with Python, AWS and the use of obvious AI platforms such as GPT, Opus, Gemini, Sonnet.
  • You will help the company move to a more fluid API/MCP architecture, including building connectors, that will make it easier for 3rd party ISVs to consume our data and features, and make it easier for the company to consume third party data and features in order to quickly improve our market delivery.
  • You will be expected to provide assistance and advice related to the deployment of AI based projects.
  • Ability to influence/inspire other engineers and help shape product design and release processes through AI-driven skills.

Who You Are

  • You have learned from the best — and now you want the freedom to drive meaningful, practical change.
  • You lead by doing sleeves rolled up, hands on the keyboard, setting the pace for others.
  • You value theory, but you prioritise practical execution and measurable outcomes.
  • You are energised by seeing your work impact 30,000+ organisations globally, not just internal stakeholders.
  • You are resilient: legacy stacks (MS-SQL, C#, JavaScript, ongoing React migration) do not scare you — they motivate you.
  • You are excited to join the core platform Squad’s, long-standing mission to standardise language, data structures, UX and UI navigation standards and you can bring structure, clarity, and discipline to projects.
  • You thrive in environments where excellence matters more than ego, and where the team is united by a desire to win.

Work Style & Culture

This role is for someone who loves solving puzzles, building solutions, and pushing boundaries. It is not a lifestyle job — it is a mission-driven one. That said, the company offers:

  • Flexible working hours
  • Flexible working locations (most engineers work from home)
  • A friendly, bright, ambitious team
  • A culture that embraces change, learning, and innovation

You will be joining people who genuinely love what they do, and who are committed to delivering the

best hospitality software in the world.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
