We are seeking an experienced Lead AI Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for setting the technical direction for your team, leading AI-powered product development, and delivering production-grade code across the full stack. You will also play a crucial role in mentoring and growing engineers, collaborating with platform teams, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- Technical leadership: Set the technical direction for your squad, own architectural decisions, manage technical risk, and represent the engineering perspective at our Architecture Review Board.
- AI-Powered product development: Design LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, and agentic features that run on top of our AI platform in production, at scale.
- AI Tool adoption: Drive the adoption of AI coding tools across the full SDLC, from planning and design through code review, testing, deployment, and setting the bar for how the squad works.
- Full-Stack development: Deliver production-grade code across the full stack, including Node.js or Python backends, event-driven AWS architecture, and React where needed.
- Mentorship: Mentor and grow engineers across AI and full-stack domains through code reviews, design documents, and day-to-day pairing.
- Collaboration: Collaborate with platform teams to consume shared capabilities and contribute reusable patterns back, avoiding one-off solutions when a platform component will suffice.
- Compliance: Ensure everything we ship is compliant-by-design, auditable, and built to the standards expected of software in FCA regulated financial services.
