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 Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud 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.

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

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud 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.
