Senior AI Software Engineer
Aveni, United Kingdom
The role
We're seeking a hands-on Senior AI Software Engineer with strong full-stack experience to build and ship AI-powered products into production, leveraging FinLLM (the UK's first LLM for Financial Services) and other LLMs. You won’t build or train models—instead, you'll engineer the systems, services, interfaces, and integrations that bring those models to life for advisers, analysts, and banking teams. You'll own features end-to-end, covering selection, implementation, deployment, observability, and iteration across backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure.
What you need
Essential experience
- Extensive software engineering background, building, deploying, and running production LLM/AI applications.
- Strong hands-on experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and production React.
- Experience with prompt engineering, agentic workflows, RAG, and LLM integration.
- Knowledge of AI evaluation frameworks, monitoring, and observability.
- Deep understanding of AWS, cloud-native engineering, APIs, and integration patterns.
- Experience with microservices, messaging patterns, event-driven, and distributed architectures.
- Commitment to quality, clean code, testing, and operational excellence.
Skills & mindset
- Effective working in ambiguity and complex problem-solving.
- Designing robust solutions and making pragmatic technical choices.
- Clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Awareness of production AI challenges: reliability, latency, and cost.
- Technical mentorship, influencing decisions, and raising team standards.
Qualifications
- Relevant degree or equivalent practical experience (production engineering capability is more important than a specific academic background).
Nice to have
- Experience with NestJS or similar backend frameworks.
- Familiarity with LangGraph, Langfuse, or other AI orchestration and observability tools.
- Knowledge of AI implementation in regulated/high-trust environments, ideally in financial services.
- Systematic evaluation design for LLM outputs and agentic workflows.
- Experience delivering agentic systems in production.
Pay and benefits
- Remote-first working across the UK
- Work abroad policy
- Co-working spaces available
- 34 days holiday (including flexible bank holidays) plus your birthday off
- Company-wide off-sites
- Optional Personal Development Plan
- Flexible benefits platform
- Protection essentials: Life Insurance, Income Protection, Critical Illness cover, and Pension (up to 5% matched employer contribution, with optional increases)
- Private health and dental care
- Potential share options
- Enhanced family leave
