Python Engineer (AI systems)
Senior Python Engineer (AI Systems)
London | Hybrid
£100,000 + 20% bonus
We are working with a specialist insurer building out a relatively new Data & AI function, focused on automating underwriting workflows using LLM driven systems. The objective is simple but technically challenging: reduce complex data processing that currently takes hours down to seconds.
The team is developing agent led software that can extract, interpret, & communicate complex insurance data in near real time. Current market processes take hours. The objective here is seconds.
This is a backend engineering role where AI is a core part of what is being built, not an add on.
The Role
You will join a Python engineering team responsible for building the services that power these systems.
- Build Python microservices & APIs supporting AI driven workflows
- Integrate LLM & LangChain based processes into production systems
- Design & manage infrastructure using Terraform
- Work across distributed, asynchronous systems
- Collaborate with data science & data teams to deliver end to end solutions
- Contribute to system design & ongoing platform development
What They Are Looking For
- 6+ years Python backend development
- Experience building APIs & services (FastAPI or similar)
- Strong Terraform experience
- Cloud experience (Azure preferred)
- Understanding of distributed systems
- Exposure to AI tooling, LLMs or LangChain
This is not a pure AI research role. It is a software engineering role working directly with AI systems.
Why Apply
- AI is central to the product, not experimental
- Opportunity to build production systems using LLMs
- Small team with clear ownership
- Modern engineering environment
If you are a backend engineer with interest or experience in AI systems & want to work on real world applications, this is a strong opportunity & apply following the link.
