# AI Software Engineer

- **Company:** Impellam Group
- **Location:** Glasgow, UK
- **Salary:** £143,000.0 - £156,000.0
- **Contract:** Temporary contract
- **Skills:** .NET Framework, Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Python (Programming Language), Model View Controller (MVC), Google Cloud, Large Language Models, Backend
- **Published:** August 20, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.careerjet.co.uk/job/gbb5923cd6b88639c2db76c9c4a0352f7d/eaa

## About the Role

* Strong hands-on .NET development background (MVC)
 * Solid Python development skills, ideally with production LLM/GenAI experience
 * Proven experience designing, building, and deploying agentic AI systems - RAG pipelines, tool-using agents, multi-step orchestration - is a strong differentiator between candidates
 * Comfortable working across cloud platforms - Azure preferred, but AWS and Google Cloud experience is equally valued
 * Self-sufficient and comfortable owning a project independently, with minimal day-to-day oversight

## Description

Our client, a large Scottish enterprise business, has established a new AI function. This is a genuine hands-on build opportunity - not a design-and-handoff role - sitting within a defined, multi-initiative roadmap with a clear pipeline of work well beyond the initial contract term. This role calls for a strong .NET developer who also brings Python and AI/agentic experience - .NET is the priority skill, with AI depth as the key differentiator.
The Role
You'll join a small, newly-formed AI team, where each person owns one initiative end-to-end, from design through to production build. This is a hands-on implementation role for someone who wants to build, not just architect.

 * Own and deliver one initiative from the roadmap end-to-end - options span product/sales automation, a data-heavy telemetry and analytics build, and an agentic workflow build for a legal function
 * Design, build, and deploy genuine agentic AI systems - not just chatbot or single-turn LLM integrations
 * Work primarily within Azure AI Foundry and Semantic Kernel for orchestration, with the flexibility to draw on AWS and Google Vertex/Gemini where relevant (enterprise accounts already in place across all three)
 * Some front-end work in .NET MVC (internal-facing tooling), alongside Python-first backend and AI/agentic development
