Senior Consultant – Applied AI Engineer

Why EY — and why FS

Within EY’s FS, you’ll help leading banks, insurers and capital‑markets firms move from AI experimentation to reliable production adoption — integrating systems with enterprise data, security and governance. You’ll be part of a growing engineering capability shaping AI‑enabled operating models for complex financial institutions.

Operate as a hands‑on engineer within a squad, taking ownership of defined components and delivering AI capabilities (e.g., agents, RAG pipelines) that meet enterprise standards for reliability, security and observability. Strengthen your foundations through the Applied AI Engineering Academy while taking on more responsibility for solution shaping and stakeholder engagement.

EY Grade: Senior Consultant (UK)

What you’ll do

• Collaborate with business and technology stakeholders; translate requirements into engineering tasks; support workshops, demos and solution reviews; drive adoption through testing and iteration.
• Design and implement RAG pipelines, agents, microservices and integrations; apply monitoring, evaluation and Responsible AI guardrails.
• Shape MVP scope, backlog and release planning; capture reusable patterns and contribute to shared accelerators.

What we’re looking for

• Hands‑on LLMs, embeddings, vector databases; retrieval strategies and grounding.
• Data engineering fundamentals (Spark/Databricks; ETL/ELT) and operational handover.
• Consulting behaviours: stakeholder engagement and clear, client‑ready communication.

Nice to have

• Document/graph stores; streaming (Event Hub/Kafka); cloud architecture exposure and governance credentials.

Hybrid with periodic client travel across the UK (and occasional international travel).
