We are looking for AI-first engineers who are excited not just by using the latest LLMs, agents, and emerging design patterns, but by applying them with strong engineering discipline, sound judgement, and a relentless focus on quality. If you want to work on ambitious problems, shape solutions from the ground up, and help define how AI is engineered in one of the most interesting environments in finance, this is the role for you.The Team:We are a fast-moving team specialising in Generative AI within Markets Technology. Our focus is on building greenfield products that span multiple markets asset classes, solving real problems with modern AI engineering approaches. We work at the frontier of what is practical and valuable with LLMs - exploring agentic patterns, orchestration approaches, retrieval techniques, and emerging design ideas — while staying grounded in the fundamentals of robust software engineering. That balance matters to us.This is an opportunity to join a team that is still small enough for every engineer to have genuine influence, but already delivering work that is making waves across Markets Technology.The Role:As a Vice President in the team, you will be a hands-on engineer building and shaping next-generation AI systems for Markets. You will design and develop production-grade services and applications, primarily in Python, and help turn fast-evolving AI capabilities into scalable, maintainable, well-engineered solutions.You will work on greenfield initiatives from idea through to production, contributing not only code but also architecture, patterns, engineering standards, and product thinking. We are looking for people who can see the bigger picture, bring ideas, challenge assumptions, and help us build the right thing - not just build the thing right.What You’ll Do:Design, build, and evolve Generative AI solutions for Markets use cases across asset classesEngineer production-quality applications and services using PythonApply modern AI patterns including LLM orchestration, agentic workflows, retrieval-based approaches, and structured evaluation techniquesContribute to system architecture, engineering standards, and technical directionWrite clean, maintainable, well-tested code with a strong focus on quality and long-term ownershipCollaborate closely with engineers, product partners, and business stakeholders to shape solutions with real impactUse AI not only in the products we build, but also in the way we engineer - agentic development with Devin, CoPilot and more!Bring initiative, curiosity, and original thinking to complex problems in a fast-moving spaceWhat We’re Looking For:Strong software engineering experience, with deep hands-on expertise in PythonExperience building scalable, production-grade systems rather than just prototypesPractical experience with Generative AI, LLM-based applications, or agentic systemsA strong grasp of software engineering fundamentals, including design, testing, maintainability, and code qualityAn appreciation for the craft of code - we write Python, but we value the discipline, clarity, and rigor often associated with strongly typed languagesAbility to operate in ambiguity, take ownership, and move ideas forwardEngineers who think beyond tickets and requirements, and want to contribute to the overall shape of the solutionStrong communication skills and a collaborative mindsetWhat Makes This Role Different:This is not a role focused on...
