AI Engineer – Applied AI

Build and ship AI agent systems embedded with client teams.

London / Hybrid Full-time Engineering

About the role

You'll work inside our clients' investment, operations and risk teams, finding where AI can save real time and then building it. This is hands-on engineering: you scope the problem with the people who have it, ship a working system and stay until it's being used every day.

What you'll do

  • Design and build AI agents and automated workflows using Claude, Copilot and Power Platform.
  • Connect them to client data, documents and internal systems securely.
  • Sit with portfolio managers, analysts and operations staff to understand how they actually work.
  • Take prototypes to production, with testing, monitoring and documentation.
  • Work within the security, compliance and data rules of regulated firms.

What we're looking for

  • Strong software engineering skills, ideally Python and TypeScript.
  • Hands-on experience building with large language models (LLMs), for example prompting, tool use, retrieval and evaluation.
  • Comfortable talking directly to clients and explaining technical trade-offs simply.
  • Financial services or asset management experience is a strong plus.

AI Trainer

Run hands-on training and upskill buy-side teams on Claude, Copilot and Power Platform.

London / Hybrid Full-time Delivery

About the role

You'll help investment professionals go from curious about AI to using it confidently in their daily work. Our sessions are practical: people leave with workflows they use the next morning, not slides they forget.

What you'll do

  • Design and deliver hands-on workshops on Claude, Copilot and Power Platform for buy-side teams.
  • Tailor material to each audience, from analysts and portfolio managers to operations and compliance.
  • Run discovery sessions to find the highest-value use cases in a client's team.
  • Follow up after training to help teams adopt what they learned.
  • Feed what you learn from clients back into our training content and services.

What we're looking for

  • Experience training, teaching or consulting, with confidence in front of senior audiences.
  • Heavy personal use of AI tools and a clear sense of what they can and can't do.
  • Understanding of how investment firms work; buy-side experience is a strong plus.
  • Clear, structured communication, written and spoken.

AI Solutions Consultant

Lead discovery and scoping with buy-side clients and shape AI solutions that fit how they work.

Remote, occasional London visits Full-time Pre-sales

About the role

You'll be the first senior conversation a prospective client has with us. You run discovery with investment, operations and risk teams, turn what you hear into a clear scope, and shape proposals our engineers and trainers can deliver. This is a pre-sales and solutions role, not cold outreach.

What you'll do

  • Run discovery calls and workshops to understand a client's workflows, data and constraints.
  • Gather requirements and translate them into scoped AI solutions using Claude, Copilot and Power Platform.
  • Shape proposals, statements of work and commercial options with the founder.
  • Hand over cleanly to delivery and keep the customer relationship management (CRM) system accurate.

What we're looking for

  • Proven pre-sales, solutions consulting or professional services experience in business-to-business (B2B) settings.
  • Strong requirements gathering and scoping skills, with confidence in front of senior audiences.
  • Genuine, regular hands-on use of AI tools and a clear sense of what they can and cannot do.
  • Understanding of buy-side investment firms is a strong plus.
