About the role
You will join our AI Hub within the CEO Office – the team driving the bank’s AI transformation - and help build AI-enabled solutions that create measurable impact across the organisation. Working side by side with experienced engineers and business stakeholders, you will design, build and ship AI-powered agents and tools that go into real production use: from productivity tooling and operational workflows to Client Lifecycle Management, back-office operations and run-the-bank processes.As AI agents reshape how clients interact with financial services, you will contribute to solutions that touch the client experience directly — supporting relationship managers with AI-augmented workflows, accelerating client onboarding and servicing, and helping shape how the bank engages with an emerging generation of AI-native clients.
You will build on top of foundational models such as OpenAI and Anthropic Claude and learn how to turn AI ideas into secure, reliable and well-governed solutions in a regulated banking environment. You will work hands-on with emerging standards such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and explore how AI agents connect with internal systems, APIs and data sources — and, increasingly, how banks expose their services to the agents of their clients. As a forward deployed engineer, you will sit close to the business: understanding real problems, prototyping quickly, and iterating with users until solutions deliver genuine value.
Our ideal candidate
• Recent graduate or early-career engineer with a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Strong computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, software design and structured problem-solving
• Solid programming skills in Python and/or Java, with the ability to learn additional languages, frameworks and tools as needed
• Experience in LLM-based applications, agentic workflows and practical AI use cases
• Careful engineering mindset, with a focus on clean code, testing, reliability, responsible data handling and user value
• Genuine interest in understanding business problems, with the drive to translate stakeholder needs into working solutions
• Clear communication style, with the ability to ask good questions and work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Our ideal candidate
Internship, thesis, project or early professional experience in AI, machine learning, LLM applications or data-driven product development
Hands-on exposure to LLM APIs, building agentic workflows, using MCP or similar tools
Exposure to APIs, microservices, containerization, cloud platforms or DevOps concepts
Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar, and an understanding of how to use them responsibly
Product thinking and a commercial mindset — an eye for where AI creates value for clients and the business, not just where it is technically interesting
Interest in financial services, digital assets, regulated environments or secure software development
