• Stack Highlights: Go or Java | LLMs | ML Platforms | Cloud-native
• Domain: Applied AI within a cloud security environment

Who You'll Work For

Our client operates in the cloud security space, building intelligent systems that protect organisations y are investing heavily in applied AI - not as an experiment, but as a core part of their product and platform strategy. The engineering culture is technically rigorous, cross-functional and genuinely collaborative, with AI, security and engineering teams working in close alignment. This is a high-impact environment where the work you do shapes both the product and the platform that powers it.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work across the full lifecycle of AI-driven systems - from platform infrastructure through to production features. Your day-to-day will span:

• Building autonomous systems to automate complex security workflows end-to-end
• Developing and shipping AI-driven features into live production environments
• Contributing to an internal AI platform designed for scalable, reusable model deployment
• Working on adaptive models that learn and evolve from real customer environments
• Developing systems that correlate data across multiple sources to quantify and surface risk
• Contributing to AI-driven threat detection capabilities
• Collaborating closely with engineering, research and security teams

Your Impact

This is a role with meaningful reach. The systems you build will directly influence how security threats are detected, triaged and resolved - at scale, in real environments. You'll help shape the internal AI platform that other engineers build on, and your contributions to adaptive modelling and risk quantification will have lasting product impact. In a domain where the stakes are high, the engineering needs to match and you'll be central to making that happen.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• 4+ years of commercial software engineering experience
• 2+ years of dedicated AI or machine learning engineering experience
• Strong programming skills in Go or Java
• Hands-on experience working with LLMs and modern AI frameworks
• Experience building or contributing to ML platforms or internal AI tooling
• Demonstrated ability to work across complex, multi-source data environments

Desirable

• Experience in a security, threat intelligence or data-intensive product domain
• Familiarity with MLOps practices and model lifecycle management
• Exposure to autonomous agents, agentic workflows or tool-use patterns with LLMs
• Experience with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure)
• A track record of shipping AI features into high-reliability production systems

What's In It For You

• Work at the forefront of applied AI in a genuinely complex, high-stakes domain
• High-impact role with direct influence over intelligent systems and platform direction
• Collaborative environment spanning AI, engineering, research and security
• Hybrid working with a Belfast-based team
• Real technical challenges with real-world consequences not toy problems
