About Allica Bank Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever.
Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.
The Opportunity Allica is the UK's fastest-growing fintech, built for a group everyone else overlooked: established SMEs — the businesses that make up a third of the economy yet have been underserved by high‑street banks and consumer fintechs alike.
Reporting directly to our CTO, you'll own the AI systems that turn our Voice of Customer data — the thousands of calls, conversations, and emails our customers have with us every day — into insight the whole bank can search, understand, and act on.
It's a senior, hands‑on role with real autonomy.
You'll take problems from a rough idea through to systems running reliably and safely in production inside a regulated bank.
You won't be working through someone else's backlog; you'll help decide what's worth building and then build it.
What we’re looking for We care far more about what you can do than how long you've done it.
If most of the below describes you, we'd like to talk — you don't need every line.
Core Experience Strong software engineering background, with deep proficiency in Python.
Experience building and shipping LLM‑powered tools or agents into production — using Open AI, Anthropic's Claude, or open‑source models — not just prototypes.
Hands‑on experience and understanding of embeddings, vector databases, RAG and semantic search over large volumes of unstructured text.
