Principal AI Engineer - Cambridge

We’re seeking a Principal AI Engineer to join a small, high-impact team with the backing of a global tech powerhouse. Based in Cambridge, you’ll play a pivotal role in designing, building, and scaling advanced AI systems - transforming cutting-edge research into robust, production-ready solutions used at global scale.

This is a unique opportunity to combine the agility of a focused team with the resources and reach of a global brand. You’ll be hands-on, setting technical direction, and ensuring that our AI models are not only state-of-the-art but also engineered for reliability, scalability, and real-world impact.

What we’re looking for
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of delivering high-quality systems in production
  • Expertise in deploying and scaling LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines
  • Strong software development skills, with fluency in Python and experience with modern ML/AI frameworks
  • Ability to design clean, maintainable systems and write production-grade code
  • Experience building AI-powered products end-to-end, from research prototyping to productionisation
  • A product-driven mindset-you focus on solving problems and delivering impact, not just building models
  • Collaborative and adaptable, with experience in fast-moving technical environments

Why this role?
  • Play a key role in a small, agile team with global influence
  • Shape and scale AI products that will be deployed to millions of users worldwide
  • Work in Cambridge, one of the world’s leading hubs for technology and innovation
  • Benefit from the autonomy of a focused team and the backing of a global leader
