Agentic AI Developer Senior Consultant

We are seeking a passionate and technically strong Agentic AI Engineer to join our Regulatory Technology & Data (RTD) offering.

This role focuses on designing building and operationalising agent-based AI systems that support regulatory risk and data-intensive use cases - augmenting human decision-making while meeting enterprise-grade standards for safety governance and reliability.

You will work at the intersection of Generative AI autonomous agents cloud platforms and regulated environments contributing to production-grade systems rather than research prototypes.

Key Responsibilities

Agentic System Design & Engineering:

• Design and implement agent-based architectures defining how agents:
  • Gather and reason over context
  • Plan and make decisions
  • Coordinate with other agents
  • Interact safely with tools APIs and enterprise systems
• Build and maintain robust agent runtime environments that support cognition orchestration and execution at scale.
• Implement reasoning and control frameworks (e.g. planning reflection loops evaluation pipelines) to enable safe traceable and reliable agent behaviour.

Platforms Frameworks & Protocols

• Develop using modern Agentic AI frameworks and orchestration tools such as:
  • LangGraph
  • Langflow
  • N8N
  • LangChain
• Apply knowledge of agent communication and orchestration protocols (e.g. MCP ACP A2A ANP) where appropriate.

Security Governance & Observability

• Design and implement security observability and governance controls aligned to regulated or highrisk environments.
• Establish guardrails to ensure alignment safety and reliability for semiautonomous or autonomous operations.
• Monitor evaluate debug and continuously improve agent performance using telemetry evaluation signals and feedback loops.

Human-AI Collaboration

• Design humanintheloop and humanontheloop workflows that ensure AI augments business capability whilst minimising operational or regulatory risk.
• Optimise user interactions and handoffs between operational teams and agentic systems.

Technical Requirements

Core Skills:

• Strong programming capability with Python (required).
• Experience building testing and deploying LLMbased or agentic systems in real-world environments.
• Solid understanding of software architecture APIs and distributed systems.

Platforms & Engineering Stack (Strongly Preferred):

• Experience with some or all of the following:
  • Python Core Entity Framework
  • Angular or React
  • PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
  • MongoDB or similar document databases
  • Git
• Experience with virtualisation and containerisation platforms e.g Docker Kubernetes.

Cloud & AI (Advantageous):

• Azure AI Foundry / Amazon Bedrock Experience
• General cloud experience with AWS Azure and/or GCP.
• Cloud architecture and/or AI-related certifications are advantageous.

Qualifications :

Required

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering Mathematics Statistics Data Science or Physics.
• Minimum 3 years of relevant professional experience in software engineering AI or advanced data systems.
• Demonstrable interest in Generative AI and Agentic AI evidenced through:
  • Courses or certifications
  • Practical projects or implementations
  • Research reading or published materials

Advantageous

• Experience in financial risk regulatory risk or compliance-driven environments.
• Exposure to regulatory auditdriven or highgovernance technology contexts.
• AI Generative AI or cloud architecture certifications.

What Were Really Looking For

• Engineers who understand that Agentic AI is not just prompt engineering but systems design.
• Builders who are comfortable working in regulated audit-sensitive environments.
• Professionals who can balance innovation with control autonomy with accountability.
• Individuals motivated to move agentic concepts into productiongrade defensible solutions.
