A global finance company is looking for an experienced Python Engineer/ Developer to play a key role in building and enhancing AI-driven solutions used across the organisation. This is a high-impact, back-end focused role, ideal for engineers who thrive in scalable systems, cloud environments, and modern DevOps practices - no prior AI experience needed.

You'll work on an internal AI platform, developing robust, production-grade software using Python, AWS/Azure, and CI/CD pipelines while collaborating with business stakeholders.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and maintain Python-based back-end services for an internal AI platform
• Build scalable, high-performance systems with a focus on reliability and security.
• Work closely with stakeholders to refine requirements and improve system architecture.
• Ensure smooth CI/CD deployments and automate processes where possible.
• Improve system observability, logging, and monitoring in a distributed cloud environment.

What We’re Looking For:

• Extensive Python development experience (Django, Flask, or FastAPI).
• Strong knowledge of backend architecture, APIs, and distributed systems.
• AWS/Azure
• CI/CD experience
• Understanding of software development best practices (TDD, clean code, SDLC).
• Interest in AI tools and frameworks (but no prior commercial AI experience required).

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with React
• Familiarity with containerization & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

This is an opportunity to apply your Python expertise to cutting-edge solutions in a global organisation - without needing prior AI experience. If you're excited by large-scale, cloud-native engineering challenges and want to work in the AI space - apply ASAP.
