Senior Applied AI Engineer (Manager)
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.

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.
Role purpose
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
