| Description: | Software / AI Engineer, C# and React (Hungerford, Berkshire) KEY POINTS
ABOUT THE CLIENT We are supporting a long established international software business with a large UK engineering organisation. They build industry specific software used by tens of thousands of customers across distribution, automotive, retail and rental, and they have been doing it for decades. They are now building out a core AI engineering capability and putting AI into their products at pace. This is a competitive market and their rivals are pushing AI first products out quickly, so these are hires that matter to the business rather than an innovation side project. THE ROLE, SOFTWARE / AI ENGINEER Hands on product engineering in a team led by an architect and a team lead, based out of their Hungerford office. You will work across the full stack, React based front end, C# and .NET APIs, SQL Server and Postgres behind it, hosted on Azure or AWS. Alongside that you will be integrating large language models directly into the product. One of the products in scope is a garage management system on the automotive side of the business, with the rental side also in focus. WHAT THEY MEAN BY AI EXPERIENCE Worth being direct about this, because it is the main thing they screen on. They are not looking for people whose AI experience is using Claude, Cursor or Copilot to write code faster. That is assumed and it is part of how the team works day to day, but on its own it will not get you through the door. They want engineers who have integrated LLMs into a live product or solution. If you have built something where a model is doing real work in front of customers, that is the conversation they want to have. ON LEVEL They are open on this. There are seats at engineer, senior and lead level and they will place the right person at the right level rather than working to a fixed job title. Salary goes up to £80,000 for the more senior end. They are also open on how long you have been working with AI specifically. The tooling is recent and they know the pool is shallow. A couple of years is a great starting point, but strong evidence of real product work counts for more than time served. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
