Job Description

AI Engineer

Position Overview

We are seeking an AI Engineer to join our Global Analytics team in London. This role is focused on the end-to-end lifecycle of production-grade AI, from training and fine-tuning specialized models to architecting high-performance inference pipelines.

The ideal candidate views AI as a rigorous engineering discipline. Beyond building models, you will be responsible for writing high-quality, maintainable Python code and ensuring that every solution—whether a voice agent or a document processor—is built for reliability, low latency, and global scale.

Key Responsibilities

Model Training & Fine-Tuning: Lead the adaptation of Large Language Models (LLMs) for domain-specific tasks using techniques like LoRA, QLoRA, and PEFT to balance performance with resource efficiency.
Inference Optimization: Architect and optimize inference pipelines to minimize TTFT (Time to First Token) and maximize throughput. This includes implementing quantization, caching strategies, and efficient batching.
Production Engineering: Build and maintain real-time AI pipelines using WebSockets and SSE, ensuring seamless low-latency delivery for voice (ASR/TTS) and text applications.
Architecture & MLOps: Deploy and orchestrate models within containerized microservice architectures (Docker/Kubernetes), ensuring robust monitoring, security, and scalability.
Collaborative Delivery: Work closely with Business Analysts and internal stakeholders to bridge the gap between commercial requirements and technical implementation.

Qualifications

Technical Requirements

Professional Experience: 5+ years in AI/ML engineering with a documented history of moving complex models from research into production.
Python Mastery: Deep proficiency in Python. You have a strong commitment to clean coding standards (SOLID/DRY), modular design, and comprehensive unit/integration testing.
Generative AI Deep Dive: Hands-on experience with LLM training cycles, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), and sophisticated prompt engineering.
Inference Stack: Experience with high-performance inference servers (e.g., vLLM, TGI, or Triton) and an understanding of how to optimize models for GPU deployment.
Infrastructure: Comfortable working in Linux-based environments and proficient in managing containerized workloads and automated CI/CD pipelines.
Advanced RAG: Experience building production-ready Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems, including vector database management and semantic search optimization.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in the insurance or financial services sector.
Deep knowledge of GPU architecture, CUDA, and hardware-level performance optimization.
Familiarity with Document Intelligence frameworks (OCR, layout analysis, and multimodal extraction).
