Production AI Engineer — End-to-End Trading & Risk Agents

Cedar Peak Partners; Greater London; On-site; GBP 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Cedar Peak Partners in Greater London seeks a hands-on AI/ML engineer to join a global hedge fund client's AI team. You will own end‑to‑end automation, design agents, and deploy in production with audit trails and human-in-the-loop controls.

You will build models for forecasting, classification, ranking, and document intelligence across contracts and meetings, combining entity resolution and knowledge graphs.

Qualifications

• 3+ years shipping production software, ML or AI, with flexibility for builders whose work speaks louder than their years.
• Strong Python and engineering fundamentals, so what you prototype ends up as something the team can build on.
• Real agentic and LLM depth: tool use, orchestration, structured outputs, retrieval, evals, and honest judgment about what an agent can be trusted to do.
• Supervised ML depth, and you know where leakage, overfitting and drift come from and how to catch them.
• The ability to land in an unfamiliar part of the business, get up to speed fast, and be taken seriously by the people who have done the job for years.
• Enough autonomy to embed with a trading team or a finance team and build without waiting for a spec.

Responsibilities

• Agents that run real processes end to end, with the integrations, orchestration, state handling, human checkpoints and audit trail to be trusted in production
• Models that predict and support decisions over years of accumulated firm data: classification, ranking and matching, forecasting, anomaly detection, validated and monitored properly
• Document intelligence across contracts, filings, correspondence and meeting transcripts: extraction, classification, review
• Entity resolution, knowledge graphs and enrichment, with the feedback loops that make a deployed system better over time
• Reusable capability: the second deployment should cost a fraction of the first
