ShareForce is partnering with one of the UK's leading Wealth Management businesses to hire a Senior AI Engineer as part of a major enterprise AI transformation. This isn't another AI lab or proof of concept.

Our client is investing heavily in AI to transform how financial advice is delivered. As one of the first dedicated AI engineering hires, you'll help build both the enterprise AI platform and the intelligent applications that sit on top of it.

Working directly with the Chief Information & Transformation Officer, you'll combine hands on software engineering with architectural influence-helping define engineering standards, shape the technology roadmap and deliver production AI solutions that create real business value.

• AI-powered adviser copilots
• Intelligent customer onboarding and fact-find automation
• Automated suitability reporting
• Enterprise knowledge retrieval using RAG
• Multi-Agent AI workflows
• AI evaluation, observability and governance
• Modern full stack AI applications

You'll work across a modern Microsoft AI ecosystem including Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Python, C#, React, Azure Functions, Azure Container Apps, Azure API Management, Azure DevOps, GitHub, CI/CD, Dynamics 365, Dataverse, and Power Platform.

As the platform evolves, you'll also have the opportunity to evaluate emerging AI technologies and influence future technical direction.

• Design, build and deploy production AI solutions using Azure AI Foundry
• Develop scalable APIs, backend services and AI orchestration frameworks
• Build modern full-stack applications that bring AI capabilities to life
• Develop reusable engineering patterns for RAG, evaluation and observability
• Integrate AI across Microsoft and third-party enterprise platforms

• Azure cloud engineering
• API and distributed application development
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• CI/CD and modern DevOps practices
