This is a highly impactful role where you will design and implement scalable, cloud-native AI solutions, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative, customer-centric products.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design, develop, and evolve AI-powered solutions that meet complex business requirements and enhance customer experiences.
* Architect secure, resilient, and scalable products using modern engineering practices and technologies (e.g. serverless, containerisation, elasticity).
* Partner with engineers, data scientists, and business stakeholders to translate business needs into effective technical solutions.
* Lead performance tuning, troubleshooting, and support activities for production systems.
* Ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture, governance, security, privacy, and regulatory standards.
* Evaluate new AI technologies and contribute to the development and standardisation of architectural patterns and tooling.
* Maintain awareness of emerging AI trends and integrate them into future-facing design strategies.
What We’re Looking For:
* A hands-on technical leader — ideally a Senior or Lead AI Engineer with strong architectural experience.
* Demonstrated experience designing and delivering complex, scalable systems in enterprise environments.
* Deep understanding of cloud technologies (preferably AWS), AI/ML frameworks, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
* Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to operate across both technical and business domains.
* Experience applying architectural principles that balance innovation, security, operational risk, and cost.
* Familiarity with security-first solution design, including defence in depth and blast radius minimisation.
Desired Experience:
* Previous experience in financial services or similarly complex, regulated environments.
* Background in technical leadership across large-scale AI, payments, or cloud-native projects.
* Proven ability to guide cross-functional teams and influence enterprise technology strategy.
* Understanding of software delivery methodologies, product engineering, and operational support structures.
Apply now to join a high-impact team where your vision and expertise will directly influence the future of AI-driven customer experiences.
