AI Engineer

My client is embarking on a transformative journey and is seeking their first AI Engineer to lead the exploration, development, and integration of artificial intelligence solutions across the business. This is a rare greenfield opportunity to define how AI can drive automation, efficiency, and enhanced customer experiences in a fast-moving financial services environment.

As the AI Engineer, you will be responsible for identifying high-impact use cases, building proof-of-concepts, and deploying scalable AI models. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across technology, operations, data, and compliance to ensure AI initiatives are innovative, responsible, and aligned with strategic goals.

• Research and prototype AI/ML models to address business challenges (e.g., process automation, predictive analytics, customer service optimisation)
• Develop and deploy machine learning models using modern tools (e.g., Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn)
• Collaborate with data engineers to prepare and manage training datasets
• Integrate AI solutions with existing applications and infrastructure
• Partner with stakeholders to understand requirements, identify opportunities, and communicate results clearly
• Stay current with AI trends, tools, and ethical considerations in applied machine learning
• Lay the groundwork for a scalable AI strategy and help build internal capability

• Proven experience developing and deploying AI/ML models in a commercial setting
• Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with ML libraries and frameworks
• Solid understanding of statistical modelling, natural language processing (NLP), and/or deep learning
• Experience working with structured and unstructured data sources
• Familiarity with MLOps practices and tools (e.g., model versioning, CI/CD for ML, cloud deployment)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or a related field
• Experience in financial services is a plus but not required

• Be the AI pioneer in a tech-forward, ambitious organisation
• Shape the roadmap and vision for how AI is used across the business
