Your new role
  • Identify and automate high-value investment workflows using LLM-powered tools
  • Build end-to-end AI applications (research assistants, summarisation tools, internal agents)
  • Develop a unified, AI-ready data platform integrating structured and unstructured data
  • Design scalable infrastructure for AI experimentation and deployment (cloud, vector DBs, model serving)

  • Partner closely with analysts and leadership to explore AI-driven investment insights and potential alpha opportunities
  • Continuously evaluate and implement emerging AI technologies

What you'll need to succeed

  • Hands-on full-stack development (APIs, backend systems, simple frontends)
  • Experience with LLM infrastructure and cloud platforms (deployment, scaling, inference, cost optimisation)
  • Solid data engineering skills, particularly transforming unstructured data into structured datasets
  • Understanding of data security, governance, and compliance principles
