Lynx Recruitment is partnering with a specialist data and AI consultancy to recruit an experiencedAI Engineer to work on cutting-edge Generative AI and agentic AI solutions.

Our client delivers data platforms, advanced analytics and AI/Machine Learning solutions that drive tangible business outcomes. The focus is on designing, deploying and operatingproduction-grade GenAI and agentic systems on AWS, supporting organisations across multiple industries.

Role Overview

As anAI Engineer, you will design, develop and deploy production-ready Generative AI solutions for enterprise clients. You will be involved across the full lifecycle of GenAI products—from proof of concept through to scalable production deployment and monitoring.

Working with modernLLMs, RAG architectures and agentic frameworks, you’ll collaborate with data engineers, solution architects and business stakeholders to deliver secure, cost-effective AI solutions on AWS.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement production GenAI applications using LLMs (e.g. Anthropic, AWS Bedrock models)
  • Build and deployRAG systems using vector databases and semantic search
  • Developagentic AI workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI or similar
  • Create effectiveprompt engineering strategies with appropriate guardrails for production systems
  • Implementmonitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement frameworks for GenAI applications
  • Build and maintainCI/CD pipelines for testing, deployment and version control
  • Work directly with client stakeholders to gather requirements, demonstrate solutions and iterate delivery
  • Document architecture designs, decisions and best practices
Required Skills & Experience
  • 1+ year hands-on experience deploying GenAI / LLM applications into production
  • Experience withAWS services such as Lambda, SageMaker, Bedrock, S3, EC2 and ECS
  • StrongPython development skills with modern AI/ML libraries
  • Practical experience using at least oneLLM API
  • Solid understanding ofprompt engineering, RAG architectures and vector databases
  • Experience withLangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex or similar frameworks
  • Familiarity withGit and CI/CD workflows
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related discipline (2.1 or above)
Highly Desirable
  • Hands-on experience buildingagentic AI systems with planning, tool use and multi-step reasoning
  • Experiencefine-tuning or adapting LLMs for domain-specific use cases
  • Familiarity withLLM evaluation frameworks (e.g. RAGAS, LangSmith)
  • Knowledge ofLLM security, hallucination mitigation and responsible AI practices
  • Master’s degree in AI, Machine Learning, Data Science or a related field

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.
