Job description

Senior Python Engineer (AI Systems)

London | Hybrid £100,000 + 20% bonus

We are working with a specialist insurer building out a relatively new Data and 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, and communicate complex insurance data in near Real Time. Current market processes take hours. The objective here is seconds.

This is a Back End 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 and APIs supporting AI driven workflows
  • Integrate LLM and LangChain based processes into production systems
  • Design and manage infrastructure using Terraform
  • Work across distributed, asynchronous systems
  • Collaborate with data science and data teams to deliver end to end solutions
  • Contribute to system design and ongoing platform development

What They Are Looking For

  • 6+ years Python Back End development
  • Experience building APIs and 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 Back End engineer with interest or experience in AI systems and want to work on real world applications, this is a strong opportunity and apply following the link.
