Job description

We are seeking an experienced GenAI Engineering Lead & System Designer to design, build, and support enterprise-scale AI platforms, Generative AI solutions, Agentic AI systems, and intelligent automation capabilities. You will play a key role in delivering secure, scalable, resilient, and compliant AI solutions, while establishing architecture standards, governance controls, and engineering best practices across the AI landscape.

The role combines deep expertise in AI engineering, system design, cloud architecture, and AI governance, with responsibility for designing detailed component, API, integration, and sequence-level architectures that enable the successful adoption of GenAI and Agentic AI technologies. Responsible AI, governance, security and risk management are key expectations for this role.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our Swindon site approximately once per quarter. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
