Senior Python Developer – AI
Location: London or Manchester (Hybrid – 2 days per week in-office)
Salary: £90,000 - £95,000
The Mission: Moving from Web-First to AI-First
This company generates massive volumes of critical research data, covering everything from oil price impacts to global market trends. They are currently undergoing a major architectural shift to ensure their users—such as bank traders—interact with this data not just through traditional websites, but via autonomous AI agents and Co-pilots.
As a Senior Python Developer – AI, you will be at the forefront of rebuilding the platform's entire architecture to be AI-first. You will help transition the service from a "Web/API-first" model to one driven by intelligent, autonomous workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect Autonomous Agents: Design and build agents and MCP servers to automate complex research and content generation workflows, such as auto-generating charts and reports.
- Implement RAG & LLMs: Work with custom LLM wrappers, prompts, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) rather than training base models from scratch.
- Direct Infrastructure: Use your expertise to direct the DevOps team on the specific infrastructure needs required for AI at scale.
- Lead Quality: Own data quality and implement automated unit, integration, and performance testing for microservices-based components.

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.
