Position Overview: SBS is seeking a skilled AI Engineer to join its Data & AI / Engineering organization in the UK or EU. This role will focus on designing, building, and deploying AI-driven solutions that enhance SBS products and client offerings. The ideal candidate will combine strong software engineering fundamentals with applied AI/ML expertise, enabling the development of scalable, production-grade AI systems in a regulated financial services environment. Location: UK or EU Hybrid/Remote: Remote (Occasional travel required) Responsibilities: AI Solution Development • Design, build, and deploy AI/ML models and intelligent applications across SBS platforms, • Develop solutions leveraging:, • Machine Learning (ML), • Natural Language Processing (NLP), • Generative AI (GenAI / LLMs), • Translate business requirements into technical AI solutions that deliver measurable impact Model Deployment & MLOps • Implement and manage end-to-end ML pipelines, from data ingestion to model deployment and monitoring, • Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to ensure scalable, reliable production deployment, • Maintain and optimize model performance, accuracy, and efficiency over time Product Integration • Integrate AI capabilities into core banking, payments, and digital platforms, • Work closely with Product Managers, Architects, and Developers to embed AI into customer-facing solutions, • Support API development and microservices architecture for AI-driven features Data Engineering Collaboration • Partner with data engineers to ensure data quality, availability, and pipeline integrity, • Work with structured and unstructured datasets across large-scale, distributed systems Innovation & Continuous Improvement • Stay current with advancements in AI, GenAI, and emerging technologies, • Contribute to experimentation, prototyping, and innovation initiatives, • Identify opportunities to improve automation, efficiency, and decision-making through AI Qualifications: Software Architecture & Design • Application architecture: Strong grasp of clean/hexagonal architecture, dependency injection, SOLID principles, and protocol-based interfaces. Can design well-structured Python services with clear separation of concerns, testable components, and maintainable codebases. This is not optional — the existing system follows these patterns, and new code must be consistent., • API design: Experience designing and maintaining RESTful API contracts. Understands OpenAPI specifications, versioning strategies, schema evolution, and backward compatibility. Can own the API surface that internal consumers depend on., • System design: Distributed systems thinking — understands event-driven patterns, asynchronous communication, eventual consistency, and the trade-offs of different integration approaches. Can reason about how components interact across service boundaries., • Data modeling: Can design domain models, define data flows between system components, and make pragmatic schema design decisions. Understands how data structures affect downstream consumers and the system's evolution. AI & LLM Application Skills • LLM application development: Hands-on experience building production applications powered by LLMs. Must go beyond API calls — RAG pipelines, chain-of-thought reasoning, structured output parsing, multi-step workflows. Candidates who have only fine-tuned models or only called a single provider’s API do not qualify., • Model-agnostic design: This is a sovereign AI system. The candidate must design against standardized API interfaces (OpenAI-compatible, LiteLLM, or equivalent abstraction layers), not couple to any single provider. Must understand model routing, fallback strategies, and how to build systems that can swap underlying models without application-layer rewrites. Experience limited to a single commercial API (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) without abstraction is insufficient., • Agentic system design: Demonstrated experience designing multi-step AI systems where the model makes decisions about what to do next. This could be via LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, custom agent loops, or any framework — the underlying patterns (ReAct, plan-and-execute, reflection) matter more than the tool., • Prompt engineering depth: Can demonstrate iterative prompt development for complex tasks. Understands few-shot, chain-of-thought, XML/structured prompting, and the behavioral differences between model families and sizes. Critically, understands that prompt strategies must adapt when moving between frontier and smaller OSS models. Python Engineering Production Python: Strong async Python with FastAPI or equivalent framework. Comfortable with Pydantic for data validation, SQLAlchemy for data access, and structured logging (structlog). Writes clean, testable, well-documented code with proper type hints. This is a software engineering role that builds AI systems — not a data science role that happens to write Python. Safeguards for hallucinated tools, loops, partial completion, and unsafe actions. Understands async trade-offs, batching, streaming, and latency accumulation Engineering Qualities • Works within existing systems: The candidate joins a substantial existing codebase and architecture. They must be comfortable reading, understanding, and extending code they did not write — not lobbying to rewrite it., • Production mindset: Thinks about error handling, retry logic, graceful degradation, observability, and security as first-class concerns. Understands that agentic autonomy creates new failure modes that must be anticipated., • Clear communicator: Can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Can write clear design documents. Can articulate why an agentic approach is or is not appropriate for a given problem.
