We are building the next‑generation Generative AI platform

that will power multiple business lines and connect to upstream and downstream systems

As our Senior Data Engineer / Data Architect you will own the end‑to‑end design and delivery of this platform—architecting, coding, shipping, and scaling it in production in coordination with our Data Scientists. This is a hands‑on leadership role: we are looking for builders, not slide‑makers

Architecture & Design

• Design AI Agents with MCP/API interface
• Shape the overall data & GenAI architecture (batch / streaming pipelines, vector stores, feature stores, LLM‑Ops tooling, API layer)
• Select frameworks, storage engines, orchestration tools, and security patterns that will stand the test of scale and time
• Identifying the right fit-for-purpose LLM model
• Write production
• Build ingestion pipelines, retrieval

generation (RAG) services, micro

• services, and CI/CD workflows
• Conduct code reviews, performance tuning, and zero
• Run and monitor large
• scale AI workloads in the cloud (Azure / AWS)

component projects

• Break down epics, estimate effort, and remove blockers for the squad
• Report progress and trade
• offs directly to senior business & tech stakeholders
• done” culture—passion, autonomy, accountability

Your Skills and Experience

• As an LLM Engineer your skills and qualifications will ideally include:
• Strong engineering experience building data platforms or large

• native AI / ML workloads via automated CI/CD pipelines
• Strong experience in Python
• Demonstrate hands-on experience in designing, developing, and maintaining APIs, with expertise in building scalable and efficient solutions using FastAPI
• Proven delivery of GenAI / LLM products in production: RAG pipelines, vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, FAISS, etc.), LangChain/ LlamaIndex/ LangGraph or equivalent, prompt orchestration, fine
• tuning, and model monitoring
• Proven experience building AI Agents
• Design, implement, and maintain asynchronous job processing workflows using queuing services such as Azure Service Bus or Celery, and manage task states and results efficiently with databases like Redis
• Mastery of modern data tooling: SQL & NoSQL stores, Docker , Terraform, GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimise cloud environments for reliability, cost efficiency, and performance
• Strong grasp of data governance, security, and privacy for regulated industries (insurance / financial services a plus)
• Track record of sticky retention—you build, iterate, and scale products over several years
• Excellent communication skills; able to translate architectural trade
