We’re looking for an AI Solutions Engineer to join Nile.
We are a strategic design consultancy on a mission to help businesses in regulated industries make their products and services effective for everyone – strategically, responsibly, and at scale.
Increasingly, that means we help our clients – including many household names – become AI-native by design. We now have a rare opportunity for a talented AI Solutions Engineer to join our friendly team.
If you’re passionate about building AI solutions that are scalable, ethical, and create positive outcomes for real people, this role is for you.
About the role
As our AI Solutions Engineer, you’ll build and deploy AI-powered solutions that solve real-world problems for our clients. You’ll be working hands-on with large language models (LLMs), automation frameworks, and AI-driven decision support systems.
You’ll work directly with clients and on our internal tools, shaping AI strategies, designing technical solutions, and ensuring every AI system we build is ethical, effective, and aligned with regulatory requirements.
What you’ll be doing
This role blends technical development, strategic thinking, and lots of cross-functional collaboration. You’ll:
* Consult on AI strategy – Engage with clients to help them define and prioritise AI use cases, align solutions with business goals, and navigate the complexities of AI adoption in regulated industries.
* Collaborate across disciplines – Work alongside designers, compliance specialists, and business strategists to ensure our AI solutions are not only technically robust but also human-centred and responsible.
* Develop AI-powered solutions – Design, build, and deploy scalable AI tools, using LLMs, automation and agentic platforms, typically to proof of concept level, collaborating with colleagues and external partners.
* Experiment, learn, share and innovate – You will be at the forefront of AI developments, trying out new approaches, evaluating emerging tools, and contributing to Nile’s R&D initiatives.
Who we’re looking for
* A hands-on AI engineer with a strong background in software development and experience in machine learning, LLMs, and AI system design.
* A strategic thinker who can bridge the gap between technical innovation and business needs.
* Passionate about ensuring our AI use is ethical and responsible.
* A collaborator who thrives in cross-functional teams and loves learning and sharing knowledge.
We’re shaping the future of AI in regulated industries. You’ll work with a close-knit team that values curiosity, creativity, and using innovation to create positive outcomes.
We’re not a tech company, but we do understand technology. You will be exposed to interesting work and ideas and be given the space to develop the role into one that really creates impact for our team and our clients.
Be sure to tell us a little about yourself, why you want to work at Nile, and the type of challenges you’re passionate about. Like a cover letter, but a little less formal.
We promise to get back to you. (P.S. No recruiters, please.)
We encourage applications from a variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, and all abilities. Nile cares deeply about building a better business that supports equality and diversity; not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes us stronger.
About us
Nile is a strategic design consultancy on a mission to make regulated enterprises AI-native by design.
We’re an experienced team with a deep understanding of the latest developments and how they impact the complex reality of enterprise organisations.
Unlike pure tech vendors, our focus is on human experience – how AI impacts your employees and customers, as well as stakeholders like investors and regulators. Unlike agencies, we know how to implement and scale the technology, combining deep consultancy experience with a track record of designing and actually delivering enterprise transformation.
Our clients are some of the UK’s biggest regulated businesses facing tricky transition challenges – banks, insurers, pension funds, healthcare and energy providers – all looking to unlock AI’s real potential safely, strategically, and for the benefit of colleagues and customers.
Founded in 2006, we’re a multidisciplinary team of designers, researchers, and strategic thinkers. We’re headquartered in Edinburgh, but we work remotely all around the UK and are supported by a global network of specialist associates. In 2023 we acquired Dig Inclusion to expand our capabilities in accessibility and inclusion.
Nile became a B Corp in 2021. That means we’re a leader in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy. We adhere to the highest social and environmental performance standards and hold ourselves accountable to all stakeholders.
