I'm working with a well-funded capital markets technology business that's building an AI-first platform to solve complex problems across financial services. They're looking to hire a Principal AI Engineer to help shape the next generation of their AI capability.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who has built and deployed production AI systems at scale. You'll have significant influence over architecture, technical direction and the delivery of AI-powered products, while remaining deeply involved in engineering.
The role
- Design, build and deploy production-grade AI applications.
- Architect scalable RAG pipelines, agentic workflows and LLM-powered services.
- Build reliable AI APIs and backend services using Python.
- Drive model evaluation, prompt optimisation and AI system performance.
- Partner with engineering leadership on architecture and technical strategy.
- Mentor engineers and help establish best practices across the AI function.
What they're looking for
- Experience building and deploying production LLM applications.
- Strong background with RAG, AI agents and modern AI frameworks.
- Experience with vector databases, cloud platforms and scalable distributed systems.
- A track record of owning complex technical projects from concept through production.
- Previous experience within financial services or capital markets
Why it's worth exploring
- Join a business building AI at the core of its product rather than as an add-on.
- High levels of ownership and influence over technical direction.
- Solve challenging engineering problems with modern AI technologies.
- Work alongside experienced engineering leaders in a fast-paced environment.
- Competitive compensation, bonus and equity.
