Senior AI Engineer (Agentic Systems)

Dublin (Hybrid) | Long-term Contract

We’re working with a global financial institution to hire a Senior AI Engineer into their Risk Technology team. This is a hands-on role focused on building and running production-grade agentic systems that support critical workflows in a regulated environment.

It’s a good fit for someone who enjoys owning systems end-to-end, from design through to delivery and ongoing reliability, and who’s interested in applying modern AI patterns in a real-world, high-impact setting.

The Role

You’ll be designing and developing agent-based systems, working across orchestration, data pipelines, and integrations with existing platforms. There’s a strong focus on building scalable, reliable solutions and contributing to how agentic architectures are implemented across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build and operate agentic AI systems using Python
• Develop agent workflows using frameworks such as LangGraph or similar
• Implement context management strategies for multi-step and long-running workflows
• Build and maintain RAG pipelines across structured and unstructured data
• Integrate AI systems with internal platforms via APIs and event-driven approaches
• Define orchestration patterns across agents and workflows, including async and human-in-the-loop models

Key Requirements

• 5+ years’ experience in software engineering with strong Python skills
• Experience working with agentic frameworks (e.g. LangGraph or similar)
• Strong understanding of context management and orchestration concepts
• Experience with RAG architectures, including embeddings and retrieval strategies
• Solid grasp of workflow design (state, retries, idempotency)
• Strong system design skills, particularly around scalability and reliability
• Good communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly

Nice to Have

• Experience with relational/NoSQL databases and vector stores
• Exposure to event-driven systems (pub/sub, messaging, queues)
