AI Engineer IRC304274
Licensed sponsor Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom Full-time Posted 1 hour ago
Description
You’ll join product teams as a hands-on engineer who helps them work in an AI-native way. You’ll write production code, modernise pipelines and tooling, set up agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), and coach engineers to use AI effectively in their daily work.
Requirements
Strong software engineering background with production experience in Java (preferably), TypeScript, Python, or similar
Hands-on experience with Claude Code or similar tools (Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Aider), including custom skills, subagents, and MCP server setup
Real experience with AI-native development: prompt-first development, AI pair programming, AI-assisted code review
Experience In Financial Services Or Other Regulated Environments
Good knowledge of CI/CD (GitLab), Git workflows, and platform tooling, with the ability to improve existing setups
Experience working inside engineering teams, not only delivering in isolation
Enjoy coaching others through pairing, demos, and knowledge sharing
Comfortable with ambiguity: you can quickly understand an unfamiliar codebase, spot what to improve, and prioritise pragmatically
Nice to have:
DevOps or platform engineering experience (infrastructure as code, Kubernetes/containers, observability)
Work on internal developer platforms or golden path tooling
Knowledge of delivery metrics (DORA, cycle time, deployment frequency) and how to improve them
Job responsibilities
Join product squads early on: review how they work today, help shape the transformation backlog, and start delivering right away
Reduce tech debt and modernise CI/CD pipelines in the team’s production codebase
Create and maintain AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md files so AI tools understand the product and codebase
Roll out shared platform assets (agents, templates, CI/CD patterns) into live repositories and make sure they fit existing workflows
Build custom Claude Code skills and subagents for the team’s domain to automate repetitive work, code generation, and code reviews
Coach engineers on AI-native habits: prompt-first PRs, AI-assisted reviews, and everyday use of agentic tools
Share learnings and reusable assets with the Central Platform Team
Visit the office at least 2 times per week in London or Glasgow
What we offer
Our goal is to build an inclusive positive culture where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves, empowering people to create their own high standards and therefore more value. We work together to promote fairness while recognising, valuing and embracing differences – providing a transparent support structure and generous training budget to help our people develop skills to progress their career. Our region supports a hybrid model that can flex across a wide spectrum of working options determined by business, customer and individual needs.

We offer a fantastic benefits package including a competitive pension scheme and recognition schemes through bonus/reward initiatives. Colleagues are entitled to an annual volunteering day – so you can take time to support a cause close to your heart. We also love to stay social with trips to the zoo, quiz nights, sports events, theatre trips and much more.
