Senior Applied AI Engineer – C#/.NET & Generative AI
Sheffield | Hybrid – 3 days onsite | Up to £80,000
We’re partnering with an established, international B2B SaaS organisation investing heavily in the next generation of its products. They’re looking for a Senior Product Engineer who combines strong full-stack engineering capability with genuine commercial exposure to AI/LLM-powered products.
This isn’t an “AI-assisted coding” role. We’re looking for someone who has actually integrated AI into a product or solution and wants to help shape how AI is used across a modern SaaS platform.
What you’ll be doing
- Building and evolving customer-facing SaaS products using C# / .NET
- Working full-stack across frontend, APIs, backend services and databases
- Integrating LLMs / Generative AI capabilities into real-world products
- Designing secure, scalable APIs and cloud-native services
- Working with React, Angular, Next.js or similar modern frontend technologies
- Contributing to AI architecture, guardrails, security and responsible model usage
- Working closely with Product, Engineering and Architecture to take ideas from concept through to production
- Mentoring engineers and helping drive strong engineering standards
What we’re looking for
- Strong commercial C# / .NET engineering experience
- Genuine full-stack product engineering background
- Experience building or integrating AI / LLM functionality into a commercial product
- Experience with Azure and/or AWS
- Strong API, SQL/database and modern software engineering knowledge
- CI/CD and modern DevOps practices
- Understanding of SOLID principles, clean architecture and scalable design
- Comfortable operating at Senior Engineer level within a product-led environment
Particularly interesting
Experience with OpenAI/Azure OpenAI, local LLMs, RAG, AI agents, model security or AI guardrails would be highly attractive.
Salary: Up to £80,000 depending on experience
Location: Sheffield
Hybrid: 3 days per week onsite
A strong opportunity for a Senior Engineer who wants to remain genuinely hands-on while moving deeper into AI-enabled product engineering, without leaving behind their core C#/.NET expertise.
