Description
Full Stack Engineer (AI Platform)
💰 £80,000 to £85,000
📍 London based, 1-2 office days per week, with monthly travel to the UAE.
Willingness to relocate to the UAE is optional.
Company & role
This role sits with a global IT solutions provider building a new AI delivery capability for banking, insurance and fintech clients.
AI is already central to what they do.
This team build is about scaling that into production grade solutions their financial services customers can actually rely on.
You will build and ship the platform that underpins their AI delivery, a modern web application that moves between client facing demonstrations and hardened production services.
This is a genuine end to end role.
You own features from the user interface through the API, data layer, deployment and support, giving the team a single owner across the full stack rather than a handover gap between front end and back end.
You will work closely with client and product teams to turn ambiguous requirements into working prototypes, then harden them into scalable, secure services that stand up in regulated environments.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is real product engineering, not maintenance.
You are building a platform from the ground up and owning meaningful parts of it.You get true end to end ownership across user interface, API, data and deployment, so you see features all the way from a client conversation to something running in production.
The work spans rapid prototyping and production delivery, so you move fast without losing the discipline that regulated financial services clients demand.There is strong AI exposure here too, building the interfaces, APIs and data flows that power chat, retrieval and agentic systems, backed by a modern cloud and GPU stack.
Add international exposure through regular time in the UAE and this is a rare blend of breadth, ownership and pace.
Key Responsibilities
Own features end to end, from user interface and user journeys through API contracts, business logic, data persistence, deployment and supportBuild modern front ends using React, Vue or Angular with TypeScript, responsive layouts, accessibility and reusable componentsDesign and implement APIs, services, authentication, authorisation and integrations using Node.js, Python, Java, Go or C# and .NETConnect screens, forms and dashboards to backend APIs with clean contracts, sensible state management and graceful error handlingDesign and optimise relational data models across Oracle, Azure SQL and PostgreSQLDeploy and operate applications on Azure, including containers, managed databases, secrets management and application monitoringSupport AI enabled features such as chat interfaces, retrieval workflows, vector search, inference APIs and GPU backed workloadsBuild APIs and interfaces that agentic systems can consume safely, with clear contracts, deterministic responses and audit loggingImplement observability and resilience across features, and write tests spanning the front end, API layer, data and critical end to end journeysContribute to code reviews across the stack, enforce standards and mentor junior engineers
