Senior AI Platform Engineer

UK Remote role

Salary up to £130,000 plus equity

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing SaaS business at a pivotal point in its technical evolution. They are investing heavily in AI and platform capability, looking for someone who can take ownership of agentic AI systems and shape how intelligent workflows are embedded across a complex product used by large, design-led organisations.

The Company

They are a well-established SaaS business building a platform that helps teams design, govern and scale design systems more effectively. Their software is used by global enterprises working with complex, large-scale systems. Operating as a product-led organisation, they work in small, autonomous squads and place a strong emphasis on thoughtful engineering, usability and long-term product quality.

The Role

As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you will act as the AI and platform specialist across the engineering organisation, working closely with product, design and engineering teams. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing and building agentic AI workflows that integrate deeply into an existing product platform.
  • Developing systems that allow design changes to propagate intelligently across tools and documentation.
  • Working across multiple squads to embed AI capability rather than isolating it in a single team.
  • Making architectural decisions around cloud infrastructure, cost optimisation and scalability.
  • Collaborating closely with product and design to ensure AI features deliver real user value.

Your Skills and Experience

You will bring:

  • Strong commercial experience building AI-driven systems using LLM frameworks such as LangChain or LangGraph.
  • Proven experience designing or contributing to impactful platform-level engineering work.
  • A solid software engineering background, with exposure to backend systems and modern frontend frameworks such as React.
  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS, and an understanding of system design and cost efficiency.
  • A product-focused mindset, with evidence of seeing features through from concept to production and iteration.

What They Offer

  • The chance to define AI capability in a product used by some of the world's largest organisations.
  • Clear technical influence and ownership in a growing engineering team.

How to Apply

If you are interested in building agentic AI systems within a product-focused SaaS environment, apply now to learn more about this opportunity.

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
