About the team


In our Professional and Financial Services Business unit, we bring everything we have learned in more than a decade of Applied AI, and use it to help our clients navigate a rapidly changing landscape.


We develop and embed AI solutions which help financial institutions become more efficient, enhance customer experience, and find the commercial upside in uncertain markets. Within the constraints of a highly regulated industry, we see so much opportunity for impactful innovation and are proud to set the gold-standard for marrying technical excellence with safe deployment.

About the role

As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you will be a technical anchor within our Professional & Financial Services team, leading the development of sophisticated platforms that visualise complex data science insights and bridging the gap between AI research and production-grade software.

You will have the autonomy to own the entire technical stack, driving architectural decisions and mentoring others to ensure we ship scalable, high-performance systems that transform how our customers interact with Machine Learning.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading the architecture and design of complex projects to ensure they are robust, scalable, and aligned with long-term business needs.

  • Creating reliable, reusable, and high-performance frontend and backend systems that facilitate the seamless delivery of AI-powered insights.

  • Guiding engineers within cross-functional teams of Data Scientists and Product Managers to deliver technically sophisticated, high-impact systems.

  • Mentoring and managing more junior engineers on the team, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous professional growth.

  • Acting as the primary authority for engineering across the full stack, setting the standard for code quality and best practices.

  • Providing deep technical expertise to our customers, translating their most unique business challenges into viable, production-ready software solutions.

  • Balancing rapid prototyping with the requirement to ship and maintain large-scale products in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Who we're looking for:

  • You possess deep technical mastery in TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks like React or Vue, alongside significant experience in backend Python or TypeScript ecosystems.

  • You have a proven track record of leading the architecture of complex software projects and deploying them successfully into cloud environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP.

  • You bring extensive experience with containerisation and infrastructure-as-code, including tools like Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform, to ensure reliable software delivery.

  • You are an expert problem-solver who can debug complex, full-stack issues and maintain high standards for testing using frameworks like Jest or Cypress.

  • You thrive on autonomy and ownership, with the entrepreneurial drive to take a vague problem statement through to a polished, high-impact execution.

  • You are a compelling collaborator and mentor who can effectively communicate technical strategy to both internal multidisciplinary teams and external high-level stakeholders..

We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
