Job description

Senior AI Automation Engineer Contract Dublin 6-12 Months. My client a leading global name is in urgent need of a talented and experienced Senior AI Automation Engineer to join them on a extendable contract basis.

My client is looking for a hands-on AI Automation Engineer to design, build and run intelligent automation solutions for our business. The role sits at the intersection of generative AI, low-code engineering and systems integration: you will use the bank's internal AI platforms alongside enterprise vendor tooling, principally Microsoft Copilot Studio and the Microsoft Power Platform, to deliver AI agents and end-to-end automated workflows that remove manual effort, improve control and give colleagues faster access to data and insight.

Successful candidates Candidates will have Python programming experience. This will include strong, hands-on Python skills with a track record of writing production-grade code that is clean, modular, well tested (e.g. pytest), type-hinted and supported by sound logging and error handling. You will have API design and engineering experience designing, building and maintaining RESTful APIs and integration services in Python (e.g. FastAPI, Flask or Django REST Framework), including request and response validation (e.g. Pydantic), versioning, pagination, throttling and OpenAPI/Swagger specifications. Candidates will have API security: in-depth understanding of authentication and authorisation patterns, including OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, Microsoft Entra ID, JWTs, API keys, certificate-based authentication and secure secrets management. You will have Data engineering in Python: confident transforming, validating and moving data between systems using Python (e.g. pandas) and SQL, making sure data is complete, accurate and traceable. You wil have good understanding of large language model concepts, including calling LLM APIs from Python (e.g. the Azure OpenAI SDK), prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and grounding, along with their limitations and risks. If this role sounds of interest drop me a CV so that we can speak in more detail.
