Position: AI Engineer

Contract: FTE, Perm

Signify have partnered with a client looking for an AI Engineer who enjoys being both hands-on in the code and out in the community. This is a role for someone who doesn’t just build things but can explain them, demo them, and inspire others to build too.

You’ll spend your time creating real-world examples, demos, and technical content that make complex AI workflows feel simple. Alongside that, you’ll represent the team externally whether that’s at meetups, conferences, or online—helping developers understand what’s possible.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, storytelling, and community. You’ll also play a key role in feeding insights from developers back into the product, helping shape what gets built next.

What you’ll be doing

• Build and showcase practical AI applications using modern models, tools, and frameworks
• Create high-quality technical content  that developers actually want to use
• Develop sample projects, starter templates, and reference implementations
• Engage directly with developers through events, workshops, and online communities
• Represent the team at conferences and meetups, delivering clear and engaging demos
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to improve the developer experience
• Gather feedback from users and translate it into actionable product insights
• Stay up to date with the latest trends in AI, LLMs, and developer tooling

Requirements 

• 3+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or AI/ML Engineer
• Strong hands-on coding ability, with experience building and shipping projects
• Experience working with AI tools, LLMs, or agent-based systems
• Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript
• Active GitHub presence or portfolio of technical projects
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts in a clear, engaging way
• Experience creating technical content (blogs, demos, videos, or tutorials)
• Confidence presenting to technical audiences (meetups, talks, workshops, etc.)
• Interest in engaging with developer communities (online or in-person)
• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
