McCabe & Barton is partnering with a leading insurance business to hire an Artificial Intelligence Engineer for a hands-on role focused on building and deploying practical AI solutions across the organisation. This is an opportunity to work on real-world Generative AI use cases, including copilots, chatbots, document intelligence tools and LLM-driven workflows, within a regulated insurance environment. The role will suit a pragmatic engineer who can move beyond proof of concept and deliver secure, scalable and production-ready AI solutions.

Key experience required:

  • Strong Python and backend engineering experience
  • Hands-on experience with OpenAI and/or Anthropic Claude APIs
  • Practical experience with prompt engineering and LLM application development
  • Experience with RAG, embeddings and vector databases
  • Google Cloud Platform experience, ideally including Vertex AI
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, Docker and modern cloud architecture
  • Ability to work with both structured and unstructured data
  • Strong understanding of security, scalability and production-readiness

Experience in insurance, financial services or another regulated environment would be advantageous, but the key requirement is proven hands-on AI engineering capability. This is a strong opportunity to join a business investing in applied AI and to help shape solutions that deliver tangible operational and commercial value.
