AI Engineer – Up to £115,000 – London Hybrid (2 days a week)

A high-impact AI Engineer hire inside a fintech business building production-grade AI products from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, fast-moving AI team with real ownership over greenfield products — shipping GenAI applications that directly influence how a market-leading lending platform operates.

⚡ Greenfield AI | Real ownership | High-impact team

The Opportunity

Join a cross-functional AI and Machine Learning team operating like a startup within an established, publicly listed fintech business.

Projects are 80–90% greenfield. You’ll bridge the gap between data science POCs and production-grade systems, owning AI products from experimentation through to live deployment.

This is a role for engineers who want to build, ship and own — not just advise.

About the Role You’ll be building and shipping GenAI applications end-to-end into production.

  • Own how AI systems integrate with existing product infrastructure
  • Handle real-world failure states and production engineering decisions
  • Collaborate closely with data scientists, platform engineers and PMs
  • Contribute to best practices for AI product development across the business
  • Mentor teammates and stay current in a fast-moving space

You’ll work exclusively in Python with FastAPI. Strong software engineering fundamentals matter here as much as AI experience.
