Forward Deployed AI Engineer London INSIDE IR35 £600 PER DAY
London - Hybrid
INSIDE IR35
£600 PER DAY
Key Responsibilities
Delivery & Execution
- Lead end-to-end solution delivery across Corporate, Compliance, Legal, and Risk Management domains - from design and build through UAT and production deployment
- Own release readiness: manage UAT-to-production transitions, validate operational quality, and ensure solutions meet the firm's engineering and compliance standards
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes on Apollo's Azure-based platform, working within established GitOps and Flux deployment patterns
- Manage delivery across multiple concurrent workstreams, coordinating with engineering, product, and business teams to maintain momentum and remove blockers
AI-Enabled Solution Design & Build
- Apply AI tools, agent frameworks, and workflow orchestration to solve business-critical problems - selecting the right approach and model for each use case rather than defaulting to the most complex solution
- Design and implement agent workflows on Apollo's Axon SDK and Azure AI Foundry, integrating Azure OpenAI, Document Intelligence, and AI Search
- Build multi-step automations and AI pipelines using Temporal as the firm's enterprise workflow orchestrator
- Integrate solutions with Apollo's data platform - consuming Snowflake data through the Delphi data PaaS, connecting to operational systems, and working within the firm's data governance model
- Expose and consume capabilities through Apollo's internal Model Context Protocol (MCP) broker pattern
Stakeholder Engagement
- Work directly with business leads, product managers, and domain teams to gather requirements, shape use cases, and translate them into clear, deliverable technical solutions
- Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical leads and senior business stakeholders
- Contribute to solution documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer as a standard part of delivery
Required Skills & Experience
Engineering & Delivery
- Proven track record of end-to-end solution delivery in production enterprise environments - design through deployment and ongoing operation
- Strong hands-on experience with Azure: AKS, Azure AI services, CI/CD pipeline implementation, and DevOps practices
- Solid understanding of GitOps deployment patterns and Flux-based release workflows
- Experience writing infrastructure configuration - Terraform or equivalent IaC - in a team-managed environment
- Comfortable working across the full delivery life cycle including UAT coordination, operational readiness, and post-launch support
AI & Automation
- Deep practical experience with AI development workflows: agent design, prompt engineering, workflow orchestration, and model selection
- Hands-on experience with AI frameworks and orchestration tools - applied to real delivery problems, not proof-of-concept work
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tooling (Cursor, Claude, Codex) as a primary accelerant for engineering delivery
- Working knowledge of Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Document Intelligence, and AI Search is strongly preferred
- Experience with Temporal or a comparable workflow orchestration platform is a plus
Domain & Environment
- Exposure to Corporate, Compliance, Legal, or Risk Management functions; understanding of the domain accelerates delivery significantly
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to operate credibly at both working and senior levels
- Ownership mindset, high accountability, and the flexibility to meet delivery commitments in a demanding environment
