At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.
Join EY and help to build a better working world.
You will work across a diverse portfolio of clients spanning Financial Services, the Public Sector, and the Private Sector. Our Applied AI Engineering teams deliver production-grade AI systems in regulated financial institutions as well as government, health, infrastructure, consumer, industrial and energy organisations. This cross-sector model gives you broad exposure to different regulatory environments, data landscapes and operating models, while building deep engineering capability that transfers across industries.
Location
London CP / Manchester / Birmingham / Edinburgh / Belfast – Hybrid with client‑site travel
Why EY — and why FS
As AI complexity and regulatory expectations rise, FS clients need technical leaders who can architect, govern and operate AI at scale. EY’s engineering‑led approach — and our collaboration with Microsoft/OpenAI via Azure OpenAI Service — positions our teams to deliver safe, reliable solutions embedded in enterprise environments. You will guide squads and shape architectures to meet these demands.
Lead technical delivery across solution threads: set technical direction, mentor engineers, and ensure systems are production‑ready (reliability, observability, security, runbooks). Continue your development through the Applied AI Engineering Academy focused on advanced patterns and engineering leadership.
