AI Engineer
Role Summary
Join 51D as an AI Engineer, working remotely in the UK. Lead AI integration projects and deliver client-facing systems with a focus on production engineering.
About the Organisation
Fifty One Degrees is a UK AI and data consultancy, founded in 2023 by Nick and Mark who both built and sold their own companies. Prior to 51D, Nick Harding (CEO) founded and scaled the fintech Fluro to four million credit applications a year. Mark Somers (CPO) built 4most into the UK's largest independent credit risk consultancy.
We embed practitioners in client teams and build the best solution that will drive for maximum client value. Strategy, governance and training are also key, but we stay and build rather than hand over a document and leave.
We're a fast-growing startup and the client list is highly varied with clients across financial services, retail, property and PR (to name a few).
This role combines client-facing consultant and software engineer. You’ll need to fluently read, interpret, write and test production-level code; but you'll also spend time working closely with our clients.
A real part of what we do is AI enablement and strategy: helping client teams adopt AI tooling, redesigning how they work around it, and building the systems that make it stick. This means configuring and integrating as well as writing code from scratch. If you are looking for a role that's only heads-down engineering, this isn't it. If you want to see how AI actually lands inside a business and unlocks value, this is the role for you.
Working Conditions
Remote (UK), with access to a number of London co-working office spaces.What you'll do
- Take features from idea to production, then iterate on real usage.
- Build AI agents and integrations against clients' own data and systems.
- Collaborate directly with client project managers and engineers, learning how they work and sharing your expertise.
- Keep quality high through testing, monitoring and sensible guardrails.
