Senior Python Engineer (£70k-£90k) - AI-Driven Product Build

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who wants to work on real-world AI systems, not proofs of concept or hype projects.

You'll be joining a small, founder-led team building an AI-driven platform that automates complex, document-heavy workflows. The focus is on applying modern AI tooling in production environments where reliability, accuracy, and clarity really matter.

This is a genuine build-phase role with meaningful ownership and influence over how the product evolves.

What you'll be doing

Building and maintaining backend services and APIs in Python

Working with AI / LLM-driven workflows in production systems

Designing robust, scalable backend architecture

Collaborating closely with founders and senior stakeholders

Taking features from concept through to live deployment

What they're looking for

Strong commercial experience as a Python engineer

Solid backend engineering fundamentals

Interest or exposure to AI / LLM integration (production use, not research)

Comfortable working autonomously in a small team

Pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset

Context

Early-stage, product-led environment

Small, senior engineering team

High trust and autonomy

Remote-first UK setup

Monthly MCR meet ups
Up to £90k
