This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2134 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Gazelle Global is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, Solution architect and design focus, but hands-on coding described). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
The Role
As a Senior AI Solution Engineer, you partner with business stakeholders to transform ambiguous challenges into practical AI solutions that enhance investment processes and drive business outcomes.You serve as the critical bridge between business teams who own the problem and the AI platform that delivers the solution. You lead discovery sessions, define the solution approach, develop the code, and take ownership of deployment and production support. This is a hands-on engineering role that requires equal comfort collaborating with business teams in working sessions and building technical solutions such as retrieval pipelines, AI agents, and scalable AI-powered applications. You will play a key role in establishing best practices and setting the standard for how generative AI solutions are designed, deployed, governed, and operated responsibly at enterprise scale across the organization.
Your responsibilities:
- Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand workflows, identify high-value opportunities, and translate ambiguous business needs into clear technical requirements
- Design, build, and operate production-grade generative AI applications, including copilots, assistants, knowledge-search platforms, and agentic workflow solutions, ensuring reliability and scalability beyond proof-of-concept implementations.
- Architect and implement end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, including document parsing, data ingestion, chunking strategies, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval mechanisms, and prompt management.
- Develop AI agents and agentic workflows capable of planning and executing complex multi-step tasks within defined, auditable boundaries, supported by robust guardrails for safe and predictable behavior.
- Practice evaluation-driven development by defining acceptance criteria upfront, building evaluation frameworks, and measuring correctness, latency, and hallucination rates to ensure solution quality and prevent production regressions.
Your Profile
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in Python (or a comparable modern language).
- Hands-on production experience building and shipping LLM-powered applications, including advanced prompt engineering, retrieval, agent development, and evaluation.
- Demonstrated experience designing and building end-to-end RAG pipelines and integrating LLM solutions with real systems.
Desirable skills/knowledge/experience:
- Background in financial services or another regulated enterprise environment.
- Experience with vector databases such as pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, or Chroma.
- Experience with agent and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Experience with MLOps/LLMOps tooling, including experiment tracking, model versioning, monitoring, evaluation, observability, and CI/CD pipelines for ML and LLM systems.
- Experience implementing Responsible AI and AI governance controls, including guardrails, human-in-the-loop oversight, and audit trails.
- Experience mentoring engineers and defining technical standards as a senior individual contributor.
