They build industry specific software used by tens of thousands of customers across distribution, automotive, retail and rental, and they have been doing it for decades. They are now building out a core AI engineering capability and putting AI into their products at pace. This is a competitive market and their rivals are pushing AI first products out quickly, so these are hires that matter to the business rather than an innovation side project. THE ROLE, SOFTWARE / AI ENGINEER Hands on product engineering in a team led by an architect and a team lead, based out of their Hungerford office. You will work across the full stack, React based front end, C# and .NET APIs, SQL Server and Postgres behind it, hosted on Azure or AWS. Alongside that you will be integrating large language models directly into the product. One of the products in scope is a garage management system on the automotive side of the business, with the rental side also in focus., They are not looking for people whose AI experience is using Claude, Cursor or Copilot to write code faster. That is assumed and it is part of how the team works day to day, but on its own it will not get you through the door. They want engineers who have integrated LLMs into a live product or solution. If you have built something where a model is doing real work in front of customers, that is the conversation they want to have., * Build and maintain full stack features, front end through API to database * Integrate large language models into live product functionality * Design and implement guardrails around model behaviour and output * Work on performance, scalability and security across the platform * Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and engineering standards * Work closely with the architect, team lead and wider engineering team ## Related Videos - [Best practices: Building Enterprise Applications that leverage GenAI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1513-best-practices-building-enterprise-applications-that-leverage-genai) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Is AI replacing developers?, Stopping bots, AI on device & more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1327-wearedevelopers-live-is-ai-replacing-developers-stopping-bots-ai-on-device-more) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
