A graduate AI engineering role where you'll use AI-powered development tools to build, test, and quality-check software while working with ReactJS, PostgreSQL, and modern generative AI technologies.
About ICS.AI
ICS.AI is the leading provider of AI transformation solutions to the public sector, working with local government, central government, health, housing and education organisations across the UK. Our SMART: Unified AI Platform helps organisations move beyond AI pilots to measurable, guaranteed savings. We've already helped clients such as Derby City Council identify over £12m in annual savings.
About the Role
We're offering a graduate opportunity to join our Central POD as a Harness Operator. "The harness" is our governed AI engineering framework. It uses AI to build (or "print") client software at far greater speed than traditional development, while a human developer verifies every output before it ships.
As a Harness Operator, you'll be right at the centre of this: turning client requirements into specifications, running build cycles, and checking the results against what the client actually asked for.
It's a fantastic entry point into a career in AI engineering and you'll get real, hands-on experience with modern AI tools (including Claude), modern web technologies, and how a fast-growing tech company delivers software to customers.
What You'll Do
Working with requirements and specifications for harness-printed products
Operate the harness by dispatching cycles and setting scope alongside our Architects
Review cycle outputs and relay summaries back against the original client need
Support basic architectural decisions under the guidance of our Technical Leads
Quality check software built with ReactJS and PostgreSQL
What We're Looking For
A Computer Science (or related) degree, or due to graduate
Evidence of learning beyond your course such as side projects, hackathons or independent certifications
Working knowledge of ReactJS and PostgreSQL
Hands-on experience with, or strong curiosity about, Generative AI tools such as Claude
A basic understanding of software architecture though you don't need to be an architect
No prior commercial experience required as this is a genuine graduate-level role
The Details
Contract: 6-month fixed term contract
Location: Hybrid, based from our Manchester office, 2–3 days per week on-site
Salary: £30,000 per annum, pro rata
