About the Role

167 Solutions is recruiting a talented AI Engineer to join a forward-thinking, AI-focused team based in Bristol. This is an exciting opportunity for a developer who loves moving fast, building from the ground up and working at the cutting edge of AI, Generative AI and Data.

You'll be hands-on across the full stack, using TypeScript and AWS to design, prototype and ship products rapidly. A strong appetite for "vibe coding" and AI-assisted rapid prototyping is key — you'll be turning ideas into working software quickly, iterating fast and helping shape the direction of new AI-driven products.

This role suits someone who is equally comfortable writing production-grade code and rapidly spinning up proofs of concept, and who can communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Hybrid working is on offer, based in Bristol.

Roles & Responsibilities

Design, build and ship full stack applications across front end and back end using TypeScript.

Architect, deploy and maintain cloud-native solutions on AWS.

Rapidly prototype new ideas and proofs of concept, leveraging AI/Gen AI tooling to accelerate delivery ("vibe coding").

Build and integrate AI, Generative AI and Data-driven features into products.

Work within an Agile environment, contributing to sprint planning, stand-ups and iterative delivery.

Collaborate closely with product, design and data colleagues to translate ideas into working software.

Engage with stakeholders to gather requirements, manage expectations and demo progress.

Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to code reviews.

Continuously explore and adopt new tools, frameworks and AI capabilities to improve velocity and quality.

Take ownership of features end to end, from concept through to production and iteration.

Key Technical Skills Required

Essential

Minimum 3 years' commercial software development experience.

Strong full stack development skills with TypeScript (front end and back end).

Solid hands-on experience with AWS (e.g. Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, etc.).

Demonstrable experience in rapid prototyping and AI-assisted / "vibe coding" workflows.

Exposure to AI, Generative AI and/or Data projects and tooling.

Experience working in Agile delivery environments.

Excellent communication skills and proven stakeholder management ability.

Ability to work hybrid from Bristol.

Desirable

Experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js or similar).

Familiarity with LLM APIs and Gen AI frameworks (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain).

Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. CDK, Terraform).

Experience with data pipelines, databases or analytics tooling.

A portfolio, GitHub or examples of side projects / prototypes.

What's On Offer

Competitive salary of £40,000 – £70,000 (depending on experience).

Hybrid working based in Bristol.

The chance to work at the forefront of AI, Generative AI and Data.

A fast-paced, innovative environment where rapid prototyping and new ideas are encouraged.

Genuine ownership and the opportunity to shape cutting-edge products.
