You will work closely with Product Managers and Data Scientists and should be comfortable working through the phases of the product development cycle end-to-end: understanding the business problem, shaping the technical approach, integrating data sources, building services, connecting models or LLMs, implementing controls and supporting solutions after release.

• Design, build and maintain backend services, APIs and orchestration layers that support AI and data-driven use cases across the bank.
• Develop robust, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, including clean code, automated testing, version control and secure development standards.
• Integrate AI models, machine learning services and GenAI capabilities into banking workflows, CRM systems and Bank Manager facing applications.
• Build and maintain data pipelines, feature pipelines and service integrations required to support AI products.
• Support the deployment and operation of models and AI services, including monitoring, logging, alerting, performance management and incident response.
• Work with Data Scientists to productionise models, expose model outputs through reliable services and ensure outputs are usable by business applications.
• Implement safeguards for AI use cases, audit trails and access controls.
• Collaborate with Risk, Compliance, Security and Architecture teams to ensure AI solutions meet internal governance, regulatory and operational resilience expectations.
• Contribute to reusable engineering patterns, shared components, reference architectures and deployment standards for AI-enabled solutions.
• Support experimentation and prototyping while ensuring successful use cases can scale into maintainable, production-ready solutions.
• Contribute to a high-quality engineering culture focused on pragmatism, collaboration, learning and delivery.

What We’re Looking For
