Applied AI Software Engineer – C#/.NET Reading
| Hybrid – 3 days onsite, 2 remote | Up to £80,000
We’re partnering with an established global software business making a major investment into Applied AI and Generative AI across its product portfolio.

This is not a Data Science or research position.
They’re looking for Software Engineers and Senior Software Engineers who are strong product developers first — particularly within C#/.NET — and who are excited by the opportunity to build AI directly into real-world software used by businesses internationally.

You do not need years of AI experience. If you’re an accomplished .NET engineer who has started building genuinely useful applications with LLMs/GenAI, they want to hear from you.
What you'll be doing

That experience could be commercial, independent or through substantial personal projects — what matters is that you can explain what you built, how the model was integrated and the engineering decisions surrounding it.
Why consider it? This is an opportunity to join a substantial software organisation at a point where AI is becoming a core part of its engineering and product strategy, rather than a side project.
You’ll remain a Software Engineer, but with the opportunity to make Applied AI a much bigger part of your career.
Salary: Up to £80,000 depending on level and experience
Location: Reading
Hybrid: 3 days onsite, 2 days remote
Levels: Mid-Level & Senior Software Engineers
Interested? Apply with your latest CV for consideration.

• Working with technologies such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or local models
• Exploring RAG, AI agents, Semantic Kernel, MCP, vector search and intelligent workflows
• Engineering around the realities of production AI: accuracy, security, validation, guardrails, latency and cost
• Working across the stack, including modern frontend technologies such as React, Angular or TypeScript
• Modernising established products while helping shape how AI changes their capabilities
• Taking ideas from experimentation through to production-ready customer functionality

• Strong commercial C#/.NET engineering experience
• Modern .NET / ASP.NET Core / REST API development
• Genuine full-stack capability
• React, Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript or similar
• SQL and strong software-engineering fundamentals
• Cloud exposure across Azure and/or AWS
• Hands-on exposure to LLMs or Generative AI
