Across government, artificial intelligence is becoming a powerful enabler of improved services, operational efficiency and better decision-making. T The opportunity now is to move beyond experimentation and build AI products that work reliably in real operational settings, with solutions that are secure, well-governed, measurable and useful to the people who rely on them.
Ofgem plays a vital role in the UKs energy system, protecting consumers and enabling a more secure, fair and sustainable energy future, and applied AI is a key component of how we will modernise and innovate.
Ofgem is on a significant transformation journey. Within the Digital, Data and Security Services (DDSS) directorate, we are building a modern data and AI capability that embeds advanced technologies into products and services. This includes the use of large language models, AI assistants and agentic systems to support regulatory delivery, improve efficiency and enhance user experience, all within a strong framework of governance and responsible AI.
As a Senior AI Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, building and operating AI-enabled applications, shaping the engineering patterns, architecture and delivery practices that allow AI to be used safely at scale.
You will work at the intersection of software engineering, data and AI, focusing on the practical application of advanced AI models within secure and scalable digital services. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to take AI solutions from prototype to production, with a focus on reliability, observability, security, cost control and measurable user value.
This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role in a fast-moving area, with the chance to build reusable patterns for how Ofgem designs, deploys and runs AI-enabled services.
You will combine engineering expertise with a strong understanding of AI capabilities, contributing to innovative solutions while ensuring that systems are reliable, secure and aligned with organisational standards.
