Junior AI Developer (Graduate / Entry-Level)
Are you curious about AI, excited by emerging technology, and looking for a role where you can build, experiment, and ship real prototypes from day one? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
About us
Cuttsy+Cuttsy is an award-winning, employee-owned healthcare communications agency. Our founders are still actively involved, and everyone here has a shared stake in what we build together.
We create work that makes a real difference to people’s lives. This includes patient engagement, clinical trial support, and healthcare communications that help people better understand their health.
We’re proud to hold Investors in People Platinum and to be recognised as a top 10 Campaign’s Best Places to Work 2024. Our culture is built on trust, flexibility, and supporting each other to do our best work.
As we continue to evolve and grow, we are investing in AI-enabled ways of working to help us deliver smarter, faster, and more effective solutions for our clients. We are looking for a motivated graduate or first-jobber to join us and support this transformation.
What you’ll be working on
This is a unique opportunity to work alongside our Commercial Director as we build and implement a suite of AI agents and AI-powered workflows across the agency.
You might be:
- Rapidly prototyping AI tools and agents to solve real business and client challenges
- Building and iterating workflows using AI, APIs, and no/low-code platforms
- Experimenting with LLMs (e.g. prompt engineering, evaluation, optimisation)
- Testing and improving AI outputs for quality, consistency, and real-world application
- Translating business problems into practical AI-enabled solutions
- Trialling emerging technologies and turning ideas into working prototypes
No two days will look the same. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, learning quickly, and experimenting with new ideas.
About the role
As Junior AI Developer, you’ll play a hands-on role in supporting the development and rollout of AI tools and processes across the agency.
You’ll work closely with our Commercial Director and collaborate with teams across the business to identify opportunities where AI can improve how we work and deliver value to clients.
This is not a pure technical or coding role. We’re looking for someone who is organised, curious, proactive, and genuinely excited about AI and innovation.
You’ll help bridge the gap between technology and people supporting experimentation, documenting learnings, and helping teams feel confident using new tools.
This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate or someone early in their career who wants exposure to commercial strategy, emerging technology, healthcare communications, and agency operations.
Key responsibilities
AI and innovation support
- Identify opportunities across the agency where AI-enabled prototypes could reduce manual effort, accelerate delivery, or unlock new capability for client work
- Rapidly build, test, and iterate working prototypes of AI tools, agents, and workflows using platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude Code, Zapier, Next.js and emerging no/low-code environments
- Write, evaluate, and refine prompts, chains, and agent behaviours to improve quality, consistency, and reliability of AI outputs
- Run small experiments to validate ideas quickly, gather feedback from clients and users across the business, and help decide what to scale, iterate, or scrap
- Monitor developments in AI and emerging tools, and bring back ideas, demos, and recommendations the agency can act on
- Apply sensible governance, quality, and responsible-AI practices throughout the build process, with particular care given the healthcare context we work in
Project coordination
- Help coordinate AI-related projects and keep actions and timelines on track
- Support communication between teams involved in innovation projects
- Support the rollout of successful prototypes into everyday agency use, including documentation, light training, and feedback loops with the teams using them
Team collaboration
- Contribute ideas and improvements in a collaborative and open environment
- Build positive working relationships across departments
- Bring enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn
Key skills and experience
- Graduate or equivalent experience, ideally in a relevant field such as computer science, data, technology, marketing, communications, business, psychology, or life sciences
- Genuine interest in AI, automation, and emerging technology. You spend time experimenting with new tools and want to do that as your job
- Comfortable using and learning digital tools quickly, with an experimental, build-and-test mindset
- Strong written communication and the ability to translate a business problem into a clear plan or prompt
- Curious, proactive, and solution-focused, willing to try, fail, learn, and try again
- Hands-on experience with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or similar is desirable
- Exposure to no/low-code automation (n8n, Zapier, Make), prompt engineering, or working with APIs is a strong bonus but not essential
- Any portfolio of things you’ve built including side projects, GPTs, agents, automations, GitHub repos, demos is welcomed and will help you stand out
Essential attributes
You’ll be naturally curious and excited by new ideas and technology. You won’t be expected to know everything about AI already (nobody does!), but you’ll be enthusiastic about learning and exploring what’s possible.
You’ll be experimental, adaptable, and confident working across different teams. You’ll enjoy solving problems, prototyping ideas, and helping others see what’s possible.
You’ll take initiative, ask sharp questions, and be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly.
Most importantly, you’ll want to be part of a collaborative team that is actively building the future of how our agency works and delivers value to clients.

Where will you be working?
As our team continues to grow, we ran out of desk space! This meant we needed to take the next step in finding ourselves a new home. As a result, we were very excited to secure a fantastic new office space at ‘The Works’ in Sawston.
