AI Engineer

Contract AI Engineer — Generative AI \& Agentic Systems 3 months · Day rate (negotiable) · Remote, UK-based A boutique AI and cyber advisory consultancy needs a strong hands-on engineer to add technical depth across a run of financial-services engagements — taking clients from *"should we use GenAI?"* to systems that actually ship inside regulated environments. You'd work alongside the lead consultant, who owns the client relationship and quality. Your job is the engineering: shaping the technical recommendations, then helping build them — agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and the identity, data and governance plumbing that makes AI safe to run inside a bank. This is production work, not proofs of concept. We want someone who's put LLM and agentic systems into real, regulated settings and can explain them in plain English to people who don't write code. You'll likely bring: * Production experience with LLM / agentic systems — LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex or similar — and solid MLOps/LLMOps fundamentals * Fluency in regulated or enterprise data environments: identity, data architecture, governance * A security instinct — you think about risk, not just capability * The judgement to advise, not only implement Three months to start, strong likelihood of follow-on work. Rate negotiable for the right person. Interested, or know someone who fits? Get in touch.
