Our client is developing in-house solutions to support customer onboarding and KYC processes. This includes creating client-facing applications that allow users to manage their interactions with the bank, as well as building orchestration capabilities to reduce the time required for both clients and staff to complete these activities.

In this role, you will lead engineering for our flagship AI capability. You will work across a broad range of services from generative AI and machine learning components to integration services.

• Extensive experience developing microservices using highly iterative methods to deliver change to production regularly. Experience delivering microservices without using frameworks like SpringBoot is a plus.
• Proven experience with Azure OpenAI/ChatGPT and cloud‑based AI solutions.
• Strong background in backend technologies and scalable software architecture.
• Expertise in developing and consuming REST APIs.
• Given AI is an ever‑evolving field, appetite to keep learning and staying on top of latest developments to drive the team to stay at the forefront of technology developments.
