Applied AI / Automation Engineer

London (Hybrid)

Up to £120,000 (Depending on experience)

12-month FTC

We’re partnering with a highly regarded investment-focused organisation to hire an Applied AI / Automation Engineer into their London team.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role focused on building an intelligent automation platform that transforms complex operational workflows into scalable, production-grade systems.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of designing and delivering an end-to-end AI-driven reporting and automation platform, working closely with Data Science and operational stakeholders.

This is a build-from-scratch opportunity — ideal for someone who enjoys solving real-world complexity and turning manual processes into robust, automated systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and building an automated reporting platform from the ground up
• Creating intelligent workflows across data ingestion, validation, and reconciliation
• Implementing AI-driven and agent-based automation to streamline operations
• Introducing exception handling and human-in-the-loop systems where needed
• Ensuring systems are accurate, auditable, and production-ready
• Partnering closely with product and operations teams to translate business problems into scalable solutions
• Evolving tooling into a maintainable internal product, not just scripts

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience in Python, SQL, and automation engineering
• Proven track record building data pipelines and production systems
• Experience integrating systems via APIs and structured data feeds
• Solid understanding of CI/CD, testing, and system reliability
• Strong systems thinking and end-to-end architecture capability
• Ability to work closely with non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have:

• Experience in financial services / regulated environments
• Exposure to reconciliation, accounting, or control processes
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools or internal platforms
• Frontend/tooling exposure (e.g. React / TypeScript)

Why Join?

• Opportunity to build a greenfield AI platform with real business impact
• Work at the intersection of AI, automation, and complex financial systems
• Highly collaborative environment with strong technical ownership
• Chance to shape how AI is applied to real-world operational workflows
