The Opportunity

We are hiring an AI Engineer to drive our AI roadmap across a .NET-based platform moving to the web. You will own the end-to-end design and implementation of documentation-driven AI capabilities: sourcing and structuring knowledge, building secure NLP chat over our documentation and code, and introducing agentic workflows that integrate deeply with our products and services. This is a hands-on role, working closely with Engineering and Product to deliver secure, well-documented, and performant AI features that are production-ready for our global client base.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the AI roadmap, aligned with product, platform, and client needs.

• Implement documentation ingestion pipelines (discover, structure, enrich, version).

• Build secure, knowledge-based chat (eg. RAG) over internal and client documentation.

• Collaborate with engineers to integrate AI capabilities into existing and new products.

• Work with Engineering to support MCP-based tooling and AI-assisted workflows.

• Design and implement agentic workflows that orchestrate multi-step tasks across services.

• Ensure AI systems are secure, with robust data access controls and tenancy boundaries.

• Establish performance, reliability, and observability standards for AI services in production.

• Stay current with AI/LLM tooling and recommend pragmatic, value-focused improvements

About You – Ideal Profile

• 5–10 years in engineering, with 2+ years focused on applied AI/ML or LLM-based systems.

• Strong background in .NET with experience in APIs, services, and background processing.

• Hands-on experience with LLM platforms (eg. Azure OpenAI) and RAG-style solutions.

• Familiarity with agent frameworks and orchestration patterns for multi-step workflows.

• Comfortable working with web and cloud-native architectures (Azure preferred).

• Solid understanding of enterprise security, data privacy, and tenancy considerations for AI.

• Strong communicator, able to work cross-functionally with Product and Engineering teams.

• Pragmatic, experiment-friendly, but adept in hardening prototypes for production.

What Success Looks Like (KPIs & Metrics)

• Documented AI roadmap with delivered, measurable milestones adopted.

• High-quality documentation ingestion and knowledge base underpinning reliable chatbot.

• Secure, performant AI features embedded in .NET product with positive user feedback.

• Agentic workflows that reduce manual effort or improve speed/quality of key processes.

• Internal adoption of AI tooling (including MCP integrations) by engineering teams.

• Clear documentation, runbooks, and observability in place for all AI services in production.

What We Offer

• A central role in shaping the AI direction of a modern, globally used financial platform.

• The chance to build foundational AI capabilities from the ground up.

• Direct influence on product strategy, engineering standards, and platform architecture.

• A collaborative environment with strong engineering talent and support from leadership.

• Flexibility in remote/hybrid working, with autonomy to experiment and innovate.

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
