Senior AI Full Stack Engineer

At National Grid, we keep people connected and society moving. But it’s so much more than that. National Grid supplies us with the environment to make it happen. As we generate momentum in the energy transition for all, we don’t plan on leaving any of our customers in the dark. So, join us as a Senior AI Full Stack Engineer and find your superpower.

This is a senior design role for someone who can operate across product design, AI-assisted delivery, strategic discovery and hands-on product development. The role is not limited to producing design artefacts or handing over designs to engineering. It is expected to work directly with product owners, engineers, data teams and senior stakeholders to turn ambiguous strategic intent into usable, valuable and deliverable product experiences.

An immediate focus for the role is the Strategic Review platform: National Grid’s internal tool for programme visibility, strategic initiative tracking and executive-level data storytelling. The platform includes a proof-of-concept Connections Dashboard moving toward production, a financial reporting capability being scoped, and an evolving AI layer that will support analysis and chat against underlying data.

The Senior AI Product Designer will be responsible for the design quality, user experience and interaction model of these AI-enabled products. They will work across discovery, prototyping, interface design, design-system alignment, AI interaction design, and — where appropriate — AI-assisted front-end implementation. The role is expected to help collapse the gap between design intent and working software, using AI tools to move quickly from concept to tested, usable product experiences.

This role is for someone who can operate with senior autonomy: absorbing ambiguous problems, shaping them into clear product direction, creating high-quality design outputs, and partnering closely with engineering to make sure what is shipped is not only functional, but genuinely usable and valuable.

This role operates under a hybrid working model and is based out of the Warwick,UK office. Hybrid work expectations are subject to business needs and company polic

Job Purpose

We are looking for an AI Engineer to help design, build and operate AI-enabled internal products and platforms across National Grid.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who can move confidently between modern web application development and applied AI engineering. The role is not focused solely on model development or experimentation. It is responsible for turning AI capabilities into secure, maintainable and production-ready products that solve real organisational problems.

An immediate focus is the Strategic Review platform: National Grid's internal tool for programme visibility, strategic initiative tracking and executive-level data storytelling. The platform includes a Connections Dashboard moving toward production, a financial reporting capability being scoped, and an evolving AI layer supporting analysis and conversational access to underlying data.

The AI Engineer will develop this AI layer and the wider product capabilities around it. This includes building chat interfaces, agentic workflows, tool integrations, structured outputs, retrieval and grounding mechanisms, evaluation frameworks, observability, and appropriate human-in-the-loop controls.

The role requires strong experience with TypeScript, React and modern full-stack web development. Experience with the Vercel AI SDK is particularly valuable, including streaming interfaces, tool calling and agent orchestration. Payload CMS experience is a significant advantage because it is used extensively across the platform.

This role is for someone who can operate with senior autonomy: understanding ambiguous requirements, shaping sound technical approaches, delivering high-quality software and working closely with product, design, data, architecture and security teams to take AI products from proof of concept into production.
