AI Engineer needed for one of NI's most highly rated tech companies
Want to be part of a brand new AI Centre of Excellence – shaping cutting-edge solutions from day one?
How about building LLMs and AI Agents that power major enterprise clients across Ireland, the UK and Europe?
Looking for a well-established, award-winning company with a genuine commitment to developing their people – and a benefits package to match?
The Role
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a well-established, highly regarded tech business at a pivotal moment – the launch of their AI Centre of Excellence.
As an AI Engineer you will help shape the technical direction of the Centre from the ground up. That means designing and building LLMs and AI Agents in MS Azure Foundry, integrating AI into enterprise platforms, and working closely with business and client stakeholders to turn complex requirements into real, scalable solutions.
You will not be maintaining legacy systems or doing incremental work. This is greenfield AI development with serious commercial impact.
What's In It For You?
- Up to 39 days' annual leave with service (including public holidays)
- Hybrid and flexible core hours working
- Pension, Health Insurance, Life Assurance and Income Protection Cover
- Career Development Framework and Professional Certification programme
- Colleague Reward and Recognition scheme
- Volunteering opportunities, wellness sessions, and organised social events
- Free parking, eye care scheme, and daily fruit and cereal on-site
- Competitive salary based on experience
Technical Skills
- Minimum 3 years' software development experience including API development
- Minimum 1 year designing and building LLMs in MS Azure Foundry
- Strong understanding of AI governance, responsible use and security principles
- Experience integrating AI solutions into enterprise platforms
- Azure AI certifications advantageous (Fundamentals or AI Engineer Associate)
- Sector experience in a regulated or enterprise environment a bonus – not essential
About You
You are the right fit if you:
- Want to do meaningful AI work at scale – not demos, not prototypes, but production solutions with real commercial impact
- Take ownership and want a genuine say in how the AI Centre of Excellence develops
- Are as comfortable talking to business stakeholders as you are building in Azure
- Care about doing AI responsibly – governance and security matter to you, not just model performance
- Thrive in a collaborative, values-driven team where the culture is something people actually talk about
What's It Like to Work Here?
This is a well-established, highly regarded tech business that has been delivering for enterprise clients for decades – without losing sight of what makes a great place to work. Their people are confident, experienced and genuinely looked after, with the training, flexibility and recognition to back it up.
The AI Centre of Excellence is new. The business behind it is not. That combination – startup energy with enterprise stability – is rare. Come find out why people stay.
Colin has been recruiting within the NI tech scene for over 6 years, successfully placing countless IT professionals across Belfast and beyond. If you would like a confidential discussion on how he can support your career or hiring needs, get in touch.
