Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # AI Engineer - **Company:** Parkside - **Location:** London, UK - **Salary:** £70,000.0 - £90,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Audit Trail, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Computing, Continuous Integration, Software Debugging, Python (Programming Language), TypeScript, Datadog, Large Language Models, Multi-Agent Systems, Prompt Engineering, Build Management - **Published:** July 20, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/ai-engineer/57141330 ## About the Role * Strong Python (or TypeScript) and solid software engineering fundamentals * Hands-on experience building LLM applications or agents, whether in production, at work or through substantial personal projects, with a genuine understanding of their capabilities, limitations and failure modes * Practical familiarity with RAG architectures, vector databases and prompt engineering * Exposure to agent frameworks (LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI SDK) or equivalent custom implementations * An interest in LLM evaluation, debugging and observability * Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP or Azure) is a plus at junior level and expected at senior level The bar scales with the level. For senior roles we will expect production LLM systems shipped and owned end to end. For earlier-career roles we care most about strong engineering fundamentals and real, demonstrable work with LLMs. Nice to Have * Experience in a regulated industry (gambling, financial services, insurance) and familiarity with responsible AI, auditability and governance * Experience with high-traffic, real-time consumer platforms * Fine-tuning experience and the judgement to know when it beats prompting or RAG * Observability tooling (LangSmith, Langfuse, W&B) and cost optimisation * Experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) ## Description We are seeking AI Engineers across all experience levels, from engineers early in their AI career through to senior and lead level, to build and scale AI-driven products across the business. Depending on your level and where you land, that could mean: * Customer support automation: LLM agents that resolve account, payment and betting queries end to end, with clean handoff to human agents where it counts * Safer gambling: systems that help spot at-risk behaviour early and deliver the right intervention at the right moment, built to satisfy regulator scrutiny * KYC, AML and compliance workflows: document understanding and case summarisation that cut manual review time without cutting corners * Personalisation: relevant content, offers and CRM messaging generated and tested at scale * Internal tooling: copilots that give trading, CS and compliance teams faster answers from the company's own data These are applied LLM engineering roles, not quant or pricing roles. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across product, compliance and operations, and own what you ship. What You'll Do * Build and deploy production AI applications using LLMs, including agent workflows, tool use and RAG pipelines over company data * Contribute to evaluation frameworks covering accuracy, latency, cost and reliability, with the extra rigour a regulated industry demands * Implement retrieval systems from ingestion and chunking through to vector stores and retrieval optimisation * Ship production-grade code with proper observability, error handling, testing and CI/CD * Help design guardrails and failure handling so AI systems behave safely with real customers and real money involved * At senior levels, lead model and framework choices, mentor other engineers and shape how the group builds with AI ## Related Videos - [How to Avoid LLM Pitfalls - Mete Atamel and Guillaume Laforge](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1328-how-to-avoid-llm-pitfalls-mete-atamel-and-guillaume-laforge) - [Resilient by Design: Building Robust Architectures in High-Stakes Financial Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2106-resilient-by-design-building-robust-architectures-in-high-stakes-financial-systems) - [Do TypeScript without TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/327-do-typescript-without-typescript) - [The OpenTelemetry mistakes I keep seeing (and how to stop making them)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100158-the-opentelemetry-mistakes-i-keep-seeing-and-how-to-stop-making-them) - [No Keys for the Robot: GitOps as the Control Plane for Autonomous Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100095-no-keys-for-the-robot-gitops-as-the-control-plane-for-autonomous-agents) - [Vuejs and TypeScript- Working Together like Peanut Butter and Jelly](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/127-vuejs-and-typescript-working-together-like-peanut-butter-and-jelly) ## Related Articles - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
