We’re seeking a future team member for the role of AI-Forward Software Engineer — AI Transformation Office, Senior Vice President to join our team. This role is located in London.
We are looking for a hands-on, AI-forward engineer to build and ship production-grade GenAI and agentic automation solutions as part of BNY's centralized AI Transformation Office. This is not a traditional engineering role - we are not looking for engineers who use AI tools occasionally. We need engineers who have fundamentally changed how they work: using tools like Claude Code and Windsurf daily, moving faster because of it, and bringing that AI-first mindset to everything from architecture decisions to code reviews.
In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:
Analytical skills - understand the business problem first; leverage AI tools to accelerate solution design, not replace the thinking
Initiative & Ownership - run with tasks end-to-end, from scoping and prototyping to deployment, using AI-native tooling throughout - not just for coding, but across the entire workflow including design, testing, and documentation
Build and contribute to AI-forward architecture standards - including prompt engineering patterns, agentic workflow design, and LLM integration guidelines
Work with Product Owners, LOB stakeholders, and architects to design, prototype, and deliver AI-powered solutions spanning automation, workflow orchestration, and client-facing tooling
Participate in code reviews with an AI-first lens - evaluating not just the code, but how effectively AI tooling was leveraged in the build
Software engineering experience with demonstrable, recent use of AI-native development tools as a core part of daily workflow - not a side habit
To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
Required Skills
Daily proficiency with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot - this is a baseline requirement, not a differentiator
Python and/or Java for backend service development
LLM integration experience - OpenAI, Anthropic, or equivalent APIs
MCP, REST APIs, Microservices Architecture
Cloud platforms - AWS, Azure, or GCP
Preferred
Agentic framework experience - LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar
RAG pipeline design and vector database experience (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)
Agile / SDLC tooling - Jira, Git, CI/CD pipelines
