Junior AI / Automation Engineer

They are looking for a junior / early-career AI and automation-focused hire to help create internal tools, streamline workflows, and support the team with practical AI-enabled solutions from a relatively blank sheet of paper. This is not a pure academic data science role, and it is not a standard corporate graduate seat. The opportunity is much more about ownership, practical build work, and helping shape how a lean team uses AI and automation from the outset. The role is likely to suit someone who enjoys building useful things, working closely with stakeholders, and applying AI in a practical business setting. What you'll be doing:

• Building internal tools and lightweight platforms to improve workflow efficiency
• Supporting automation across reporting, document handling, internal processes, and knowledge workflows
• Working with AI / LLM-based solutions to solve practical business problems
• Helping create bespoke internal systems rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf software
• Collaborating closely with senior stakeholders in a lean, commercially focused team
  
  Early-career profile, likely graduate to c.1-3 years' experience
• Strong hands-on ability with Python and practical software / automation tooling
• Interest in AI, LLMs, workflow automation, and internal tool-building
• Builder mentality - someone who enjoys creating, testing, and improving things
• Comfortable working in a more entrepreneurial, less structured environment
• Strong academic background preferred
Useful experience may include:
• FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Streamlit, APIs
• LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows, automation tools
• Internal tools, dashboards, workflow systems, CRM-type platforms
• AI-enabled process improvement or business automation
This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership early in their career and enjoys building practical solutions that have visible commercial impact.
