Senior AI Engineer
IO AssociatesSenior AI Platform Engineer
Aberdeen - Tech Hub (min 3 days onsite)
I'm working with an early-stage AI platform business building an enterprise-grade, agentic SaaS product.
Over the last 6 months they've built and deployed the first layer of the platform into live enterprise environments and already have customers onboard.
The focus now is scaling the core platform and maturing it into a robust, production-grade SaaS offering.
This is their first full-time engineering hire and is a hands-on role with real ownership, suited to someone who wants to build an AI platform properly rather than sit within a large, structured engineering function.
This is an amazing opportunity to join at an early stage, take ownership of core platform architecture and position yourself for meaningful equity participation as the business scales.
You'll work closely with the founders to:
- Own and scale the Python backend (FastAPI)
- Architect and deliver production-ready AI systems
- Build and optimise agentic workflows (LLMs, LangChain)
- Support cloud deployments (GCP live, Azure upcoming)
- Take large chunks of functionality from concept through to production
- Contribute to product roadmap and technical direction
They're looking for:
- 5-10 years' experience
- Strong Python backend background
- SaaS product exposure
- Cloud deployment experience
- Someone comfortable in early-stage environments
- High attention to detail and genuine curiosity around agentic AI
Some front-end experience (JavaScript / React) is helpful but not essential.
Bootstrapped and founder-backed. Long-term scale ambition.
