Graduate AI Engineer

Overview of the Role

This role puts AI into live use: real tools, real users and a real difference, both internally at Traveltek and for our customers.

We’re looking for a Graduate AI Engineer to help us put AI to work across Traveltek. You’ll join a small team and work with colleagues in areas like customer operations, finance and HR to find where AI can save time, cut manual effort and help people make better decisions.

You’ll also help deliver AI projects for some of the biggest names in the travel industry. It’s a rare chance, early in your career, to work on projects for major travel brands and see what you’ve built make a difference to their business.

You don’t need a degree focused on AI, but you do need a passion for it. We’re looking for someone who already experiments with AI tools in their own time, follows what’s new and gets excited about what it could do. If that sounds like you, we’ll train you, and you’ll be working hands-on with real tasks from the start.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with teams to understand how they work and spot where AI or automation could help.

• Help deliver AI projects for our customers, working with experienced colleagues to understand what they need and build solutions that work for them.

• Build and test AI tools, workflows and integrations using established platforms and APIs.

• Map processes and analyse data to find inefficiencies.

• Help colleagues adopt new tools through training, guides and day-to-day support.

• Monitor what’s been built and improve it based on feedback.

• Keep up with new AI tools and help assess whether they’re right for us.

• Share your enthusiasm for AI with colleagues and help build a culture where people feel confident trying new tools.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role isn’t measured by how many tools you build. It’s measured by AI that people use: tools that save time, fit the way teams work and keep data safe.

You’ll be successful when:

• AI tools and automations you’ve built are in live use and making a clear difference to how teams work.

• Colleagues feel confident using AI, supported by clear training, guides and day-to-day help.

• What you build is secure, well tested, handles data responsibly and improves based on feedback.

• You understand how different teams work and where AI can help them most.

• You’re bringing new ideas and developments to the team and helping assess what’s right for Traveltek.

• Your skills grow steadily, with increasing independence in how you scope and deliver work.

Skills, Experience & Attributes

This is a great opportunity for a graduate, or someone early in their career, who wants to work hands-on with AI in a real business. We’re looking for someone curious and keen to learn, who enjoys solving problems and is comfortable working with people across the business, not just with technology.

You’ll understand that good AI work is about more than the technology. It’s about understanding how people work, building tools they trust and use, and handling data responsibly. You’ll be happy to try things, learn from what doesn’t work and ask for help when you need it.

Essential

• Real curiosity about AI. You use AI tools regularly, keep up with new developments and enjoy testing what they can do.

• Hands-on experience with tools like ChatGPT or Claude, including writing effective prompts.

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Maths or a related subject, or equivalent experience.

• Some programming experience, ideally Python.

• A commitment to building high quality, secure solutions. You understand why secure coding matters, along with data protection (including UK GDPR) and using AI responsibly. That means protecting personal and business data, checking AI outputs for accuracy and bias, and being clear about where and how AI is used.

• Experience of, or a strong interest in, working with APIs and connecting systems.

• The ability to break a process down and work out where it could be improved.

• A clear, approachable way of explaining technical ideas to non-technical colleagues.

• Comfort with working independently and asking for help when you need it.

Desirable

• Experience with data visualisation tools or dashboards.

• Knowledge of machine learning frameworks.

• Personal projects, experiments or a dissertation involving AI or automation. We’d love to hear about anything you’ve built or tried, however small.

What Will Make You Successful at Traveltek

The best people in our AI team don’t just build tools. They make sure those tools make a real difference.

They’re curious about AI and keen to explore what it can do, but they’re practical too, focusing on what will help colleagues most. They take the time to understand how teams work before suggesting changes, and they explain things clearly to people at every level.

They take security and data protection seriously, test their work properly and keep improving it based on feedback. They’re comfortable not knowing everything yet: they ask questions, learn quickly and share what they find.

Above all, they care about getting things right, take ownership of their work and enjoy helping others feel confident using AI.

What Traveltek Offers

• The chance to work on AI projects for some of the biggest names in travel.

• On-the-job training and regular support from experienced colleagues.

• Real, meaningful work from day one, with room to grow as your skills develop.

• Hybrid working, based in our Glasgow office with flexible remote days.

• Access to current AI tools and platforms.
