We're working with a fast-paced, innovation-focused team within a leading global financial services firm that's building cutting-edge AI applications from the ground up. This is an opportunity to work on entirely greenfield projects, no maintenance, no legacy systems, in a team that feels more like a start up than a traditional corporate environment.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Developer with Machine Learning, you'll be part of a small, growing team building internal AI-powered tools that directly improve how teams across the business operate. You'll speak directly with users, identify pain points, and develop real solutions, not just models, but actual products.

This role is about engineering first and foremost, building scalable, intelligent systems with a strong foundation in software development. You'll have the freedom to experiment, the backing of a major financial institution, and the agility of a start up.

What You'll Do:

  • Build ML-driven internal applications from scratch- all greenfield development

  • Collaborate directly with internal teams to understand their needs and translate them into practical AI tools

  • Apply LLMs and classical machine learning methods to real-world problems

  • Design, develop, and deploy robust, scalable systems in a flat, collaborative team

The Person:

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering and machine learning

  • You should currently be developing real-world applications using ML, not solely performing data science
  • Strong understanding of mathematics, statistics, and ML concepts

  • Comfortable building full products, not just writing models or code snippets

  • Experience in start ups or lean teams is a big plus

  • Python experience preferred, but open to other languages

  • Passionate about LLMs, AI, and building tools that make work more effective

Why This Role?

  • All greenfield: no maintenance, no legacy

  • Start up feel with the resources of a major firm

  • A flat team structure: no titles, no silos, just builders

  • High impact, real ownership, and the chance to shape how AI is used in a traditionally non-tech environment
