About the Role

My client are expanding and looking for an AI Solutions Engineer.

This is a code-first role. You will design and implement custom AI-powered solutions by writing clean, production-ready code that integrates directly with APIs such as OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Whisper, and others.

Working across both technical infrastructure and customer-facing initiatives. This is a hands-on position where you’ll act as the sole AI expert, responsible for designing, building, and deploying the systems that define how they use AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Custom AI Development: Write backend code to integrate AI services into business workflows and customer-facing applications.
  
  
• API Integration: Build robust, secure integrations with third-party APIs (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, etc.) using backend languages.
  
  
• Prompt Engineering: Craft and refine prompts to achieve consistent, reliable AI outputs.
  
  
• System Design: Architect workflows and services that are maintainable, scalable, and secure.
  
  
• Deployment & Maintenance: Package and deploy solutions in production (Docker, AWS Lambda, serverless platforms, or equivalent).
  
  
• Cross-Department Collaboration: Work with IT on infrastructure and with Marketing to deliver AI-powered innovation in campaigns and customer experiences.
  
  
• Ownership: Act as the in-house AI expert, reporting directly to leadership and shaping the direction of AI within the business.
  
  Essential Skills
  
  
• Strong backend development skills in Python, Node.js, or a similar language
  
  
• Proven experience with API consumption, authentication, and integration.
  
  
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  
  
• Ability to design and implement production-grade backend services.
  
  
• Solid understanding of software engineering practices: version control, testing, CI/CD, monitoring.
  
  
• Experience translating business needs into coded AI solutions.
  
  Desirable Skills
  
  
• Familiarity with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar orchestration frameworks.
  
  
• Experience with speech and voice AI APIs (ElevenLabs, Whisper).
  
  
• Knowledge of chatbot/voicebot design for customer service or sales.
  
  
• DevOps experience (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines).
  
  What my client Offers
  
  
• Salary: £40,000K – £55,000K DOE.
  
  
• The opportunity to be the sole AI engineer, owning solutions from day one.
  
  
• Direct reporting to IT and Marketing leadership, giving broad influence.
  
  
• On-site role in Norwich, Monday–Friday.
  
  
• The chance to work on high-impact projects with immediate visibility.
  
  Who This Role Suits
  
  This is not a no-code automation job. It is for a developer who enjoys writing backend code to solve problems with AI. If you want ownership, visibility, and the chance to be the one who defines how a business applies AI in practice, this is your role.
