Senior Applied AI Engineer (.NET)

We’re looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to design and deliver production-grade AI-powered features within a modern .NET product environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on applying AI in real systems — not training models. You’ll work with commercial AI platforms such as Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, and OpenAI to build reliable, scalable, and observable features that ship to users.

You’ll also play a key role in shaping how AI is adopted across the engineering team — setting standards, introducing tooling, and leading by example through high-quality, AI-assisted development practices.

This role suits someone who has already successfully integrated AI into production products and can bring proven patterns into a growing team.



What You’ll Do

  • Design and build AI-powered product features within a C# / .NET ecosystem
  • Integrate commercial AI APIs into production systems with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost control
  • Establish and promote best practices for applied AI engineering across the codebase
  • Lead by example using AI-assisted development workflows
  • Support and mentor engineers adopting tools such as Claude Code or Cursor
  • Build systems with strong observability, logging, and guardrails
  • Contribute to clean, well-structured, and versioned RESTful APIs
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver user-facing AI capabilities


Must Have

  • 5+ years of commercial software engineering experience
  • Strong C# / .NET (Core) experience
  • Proven experience designing and shipping AI integrations in production
  • Strong experience integrating paid AI APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock)
  • Demonstrated ability to set patterns and standards adopted by other engineers
  • Hands-on experience introducing AI-assisted development tools into a team
  • Strong REST API design skills (clean, versioned, observable)
  • Solid SQL experience (MariaDB or MySQL)
  • A strong focus on quality, resilience, and maintainability


Nice to Have

  • Experience with AWS (EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, Bedrock)
  • Practical experience with prompt design, iteration, and evaluation
  • Familiarity with structured outputs, tool use, or function calling
  • Frontend exposure (JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt 3)
  • Experience working in microservices or distributed systems
  • Familiarity with Shape Up methodology
  • Awareness of secure-by-design principles (e.g. ISO 27001)


Not the Right Fit If You

  • Focus on training or fine-tuning models rather than applying them
  • Come from a purely data science or research background
  • Prefer Python-heavy environments and don’t want to work in .NET
  • Are sceptical of AI-assisted development workflows
  • Haven’t worked with commercial AI APIs in production
  • Are looking for a strategy-only or non-hands-on role


Why Join Us

  • Work on real-world AI features used in production
  • Be part of a team where AI is treated as an engineering discipline, not a buzzword
  • Influence how AI is adopted across the organisation
  • Hybrid working (2 days in the office)
  • Dedicated training and development budget
  • Clear opportunities for career progression

If you want to build high-quality, production AI systems and help shape how modern engineering teams apply AI in practice, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
