If our mission, values, and purpose align with your own, we would love to hear from you!

Your opportunity 

• Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and emerging technologies?
• Do you thrive on transforming complex data into real-time, actionable insights?
• Are you looking to apply deep technical expertise to solve high-impact business challenges at scale?
• Do you want to lead high-performing engineering teams building next-generation AI-driven platforms?
• Are you energised by partnering with senior business stakeholders to shape strategy and deliver measurable outcomes?

What you will do

• Own End-to-End AI Engineering Delivery: Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI/ML systems (LLMs, agents, predictive models) across the full lifecycle, including data ingestion, model integration, evaluation, and ensuring production readiness within a regulated environment
• Develop Reference Architectures & Accelerators: Create reusable frameworks, SDKs, and reference implementations (e.g., agent orchestration patterns, prompt frameworks, RAG pipelines) to standardise AI development across engineering teams
• Hands-on Engineering Leadership: Contribute directly to codebases (Python, APIs, orchestration layers), perform code reviews, and enforce engineering standards across AI, data, and application layers
• Implement AI-Native Development Patterns: Drive adoption of advanced engineering practices including LLM-based development workflows, autonomous agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI-augmented CI/CD pipelines
• Define AI Platform & Tooling Strategy: Architect and influence enterprise AI platforms, including model integration layers, vector databases, orchestration frameworks, and developer tooling (e.g., Copilot, prompt management, evaluation pipelines)
• Engineer Scalable Data & Model Pipelines: Design and optimise real-time and batch data pipelines for AI workloads, ensuring performance, observability, and scalability across cloud-native environments
• Operationalise AI Systems (MLOps / LLMOps): Establish robust deployment, monitoring, and evaluation pipelines (model performance, drift detection, prompt/version management, A/B testing)
• Embed Security, Governance & Responsible AI: Implement guardrails including access controls, audit logging, model validation, data lineage, and compliance with regulatory and responsible AI requirements
• Assess Technical Maturity & Remove Bottlenecks: Conduct deep-dive assessments of engineering workflows, tooling, and architecture to identify constraints and optimise developer productivity and delivery velocity
• Define Engineering Metrics & Telemetry: Instrument platforms to track system performance and developer productivity metrics (latency, throughput, error rates, cycle time, deployment frequency)
• Enable Distributed Engineering Adoption: Build and scale internal capability through code-first enablement, technical playbooks, and deep-dive workshops focused on real-world implementations
• Drive Cross-Team Technical Integration: Align AI engineering patterns across platform, data, and application teams to ensure interoperability, consistency, and reuse
• Track Emerging AI Technologies: Evaluate and integrate advancements in LLMs, agent frameworks, orchestration protocols, and developer tooling into production-ready enterprise patterns
• Produce Engineering Artefacts: Maintain architecture blueprints, ADRs, API contracts, runbooks, and reusable code assets to ensure maintainability and scalabilityBuild Enterprise AI Capability: Design and deliver a structured capability uplift programme across engineering, data, architecture, and product disciplines, with role-specific learning pathways

Required skills

• Ability to design scalable AI systems integrated into products and enterprise platforms
• Experience applying analytics and statistical techniques to drive AI performance
• Experience deploying AI solutions on cloud platforms
• Experience building LLM-powered applications, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and Agent-based workflows and orchestration patterns
• Ability to Lead AI initiatives and define technical direction and Mentor engineers and conduct code/architecture reviews
• Proven track record of delivering AI solutions from idea to production
• Strong communication skills to explain complex technical concepts to stakeholders

Nice to have

• Experience fine-tuning models or building advanced AI algorithms
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, orchestration tools and Workflow tools such as Airflow or Kubeflow
• Background in investment management, capital markets, or asset servicing — particularly familiarity with trading platforms, quantitative research tooling, or data pipelines subject to financial regulation
• Hands-on experience architecting or operating retrieval-augmented generation systems, agent-orchestration layers, model-evaluation harnesses, or LLM-backed product features at production scale

Supervisory responsibilities

• Directly supervise a small team of AI engineers and enablement specialists, setting objectives, conducting performance reviews, and supporting their professional growth
• Provide day-to-day technical direction on delivery engagements, including code-review standards, architectural decisions, and prioritisation of the team's project backlog

Potential for growth

• Leadership development programs
• Regular training
• Career development services
• Continuing education courses
• Certification pathways across major AI, cloud, and developer-tooling platforms
• Direct visibility with executive leadership through a high-profile transformation initiative
• Scope to build a new function from scratch — this role is being created for the first time, with the mandate to define how AI engineering capability scales across the firm and evolves into AI-native product delivery
