London | 12‑month FTC | £70k-£90k
Month 1 fully onsite - then hybrid (3 days onsite)

Are you an engineer who loves building real AI systems that actually do things?
Do you get excited about autonomy and turning manual workflows into intelligent automation?

If yes - we’d really like to talk to you.

We’re hiring an AI Automation Engineer to join a small, highly technical AI team in financial services who are building a brand‑new automation tool from the ground up. This is a rare chance to step into a role where your ideas, your engineering approach, and your problem‑solving mindset will directly define the outcome.

⭐ Why we need you

Right now, critical internal data workflows rely on manual matching, Excel processes, and human‑driven calculations. It works - but it doesn’t scale, it’s slow, and it’s time‑consuming.

We need you to turn this into an intelligent, automated AI system, capable of reasoning, validating, matching and running calculations without human prompting.

Your experience in agentic AI, LLM‑based automation, Python engineering, and end‑to‑end build work is exactly what will enable us to replace a manual workflow with a robust, smart, production‑ready tool.

The impact you’ll make

You will:

Use your Python skills to build an AI‑driven automation tool that replaces manual data matching and spreadsheet workflows
Use agentic AI and LLM‑based reasoning to create autonomous workflows
Design, prototype, iterate and ship - end‑to‑end
Collaborate directly with a Head of AI who values independence and technical depth
Bring engineering discipline to a greenfield automation project
Create something the entire business will rely on daily

Why this role is different

Massive autonomy - you’re not one of 20 engineers; your work is the work
Greenfield build - no legacy code to untangle
Direct access to technical leadership
Clear, valuable real‑world use case
Hybrid flexibility after the first month

If you enjoy creating intelligent systems that make people’s working lives easier - and you want the satisfaction of building something new from scratch - is this a role worth exploring?

Position: Senior GCP Engineer

Location: Leeds (onsite twice a week)

Salary: £85,000–£95,000 + benefits & Bonus

Ready to build cloud infrastructure the right way, automated, scalable, secure, and engineered, not “clicked together”?

This is a role for a GCP‑driven engineer who wants ownership, modern tooling, and a platform team that genuinely does DevOps rather than just talk about it.

The Opportunity:

Join a cross‑functional engineering group delivering enterprise‑scale GCP infrastructure and DevOps capabilities. You’ll shape cloud products, design reusable IaC patterns, and build automation that removes toil for dozens of teams across the business.

This isn’t a support role. It’s hands‑on engineering with room to influence standards, architecture, and tooling across a huge GCP estate.

What You’ll Be Doing:

* Engineering GCP infrastructure products using Terraform & Terraform Cloud.

* Designing reusable IaC modules, refactoring legacy configs, improving state management.

* Building automation, tooling and workflows in Python.

* Developing secure, scalable GCP landing zones with org policies, policy‑as‑code (OPA/Sentinel), guardrails, and zero‑trust principles.

* Working deeply with GKE, containers, Istio, cluster ops, and cloud‑native networking.

* Integrating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins, Harness) to automate everything from builds to deployments.

* Driving cloud adoption and best practice across feature teams.

What You Bring:

* Strong GCP cloud engineering background with a DevOps mindset.

* Terraform expertise (modules, state, workspaces, enterprise patterns).

* Solid Python scripting for tooling and automation.

* GKE, service mesh, containerisation & cluster management experience.

* Experience implementing org-level governance, security, and policy‑as‑code.

* Certifications in GCP and Terraform are a big plus.

Nice to Have:

* SME‑level GCP knowledge or consulting experience.

* Experience influencing architecture, design, and DevOps strategy.

* Familiarity with IDE‑style engineering platforms (e.g., Backstage).

Why This Role?

* A genuinely modern GCP environment, not a half‑migrated legacy swamp.

* Real engineering autonomy and the chance to shape cloud platforms at scale.

* Backed by a major UK organisation with huge learning, career and technical development opportunities.

* A culture that values DevOps, infrastructure as code, and engineering excellence
