AI Enablement Engineer

ClearBank

About us ClearBank was built on the belief that banking infrastructure should unlock progress, not slow it down. Our clients — from fintechs and crypto platforms to banks and credit unions — use our API to power their banking infrastructure. Our people power our technology and shape the way we work. We are a group of ambitious, collaborative people who challenge the norm and believe in fairness, autonomy and choice. We empower people with the tools to learn, grow and contribute to our clients’ success. About the role You’ll join the Developer Experience team as a Senior AI Enablement Engineer, helping shape how ClearBank adopts, governs and measures AI across software engineering at scale. This role is for someone who can operate beyond individual tool usage and help define the platform, practices and controls needed for responsible AI-enabled engineering. You will work across multiple engineering teams to turn AI experimentation into scalable engineering capability. That means enabling adoption, creating practical standards, supporting AI platform thinking, and ensuring ClearBank can understand the real impact of AI on productivity, release cadence, quality and developer experience. You will be * Leading the development of responsible AI enablement practices across multiple engineering teams. * Helping define ClearBank’s approach to AI governance, auditability, observability, guardrails and engineering best practice. * Shaping how AI-assisted development, copilots, LLM-enabled workflows and agentic tooling are adopted in real delivery environments. * Partnering with Engineering, Security, Model Risk and wider stakeholders to balance innovation with appropriate control. * Helping establish meaningful measures of AI effectiveness, moving beyond anecdotal productivity claims. * Acting as a senior multiplier: coaching, influencing and enabling others while remaining hands-on where needed. * Contributing to platform-level decisions such as LLM gateways, model/provider usage patterns, evaluation approaches and safe workflow integrations. What you will be doing * Design and promote scalable patterns for applying AI within coding, testing, review, debugging, documentation, CI/CD and internal developer platforms. * Evaluate AI tools, models and workflows against practical engineering outcomes, quality, safety, cost, auditability and developer experience. * Help define observability for AI usage, including adoption, usage patterns, quality signals, controls and feedback loops. * Develop or influence guardrails that enable engineers to move quickly while keeping usage safe and auditable. * Frame and drive ambiguous AI enablement initiatives from discovery through rollout, adoption and continuous improvement. * Work across teams to identify friction, build practical guidance and create repeatable approaches that scale. * Support coherent investment decisions by sharing what works, where risks exist and where ClearBank should focus next. What we are looking for * Strong software engineering, platform engineering, DevEx or DevOps background, with evidence of influence across multiple teams. * Hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows and the ability to move beyond personal productivity into organisational enablement. * Experience designing, evaluating or operating platform capabilities that support engineering productivity, workflow integration or AI adoption. * Ability to reason deeply about LLM gateways or multi-provider patterns, observability, model/tool evaluation, guardrails and safe rollout. * Strong understanding of governance, security, risk or compliance considerations in regulated or enterprise environments. * Outcome-driven and evidence-based, with the ability to connect AI adoption to measurable engineering outcomes. * Strong stakeholder influence skills, including the ability to bring sceptical engineers and control partners on the journey. * Comfortable operating across ambiguity, setting direction and helping create structure where the answer is not yet obvious. * Regulated environment experience is highly valuable, particularly financial services, banking, payments, fintech or similar sectors. * Exposure to Azure, .NET or Azure DevOps is a useful advantage, but should not be considered a hard requirement. What we offer * Flexible working philosophy, empowering employees to manage their time in partnership with their line manager. * Spacious and well-equipped London office. * 27 days annual leave per year, plus flexible bank holidays. * Option to work abroad for up to 30 days in a rolling 12-month period. * Regular company-wide socials. * A couple of days per year to volunteer with a chosen charity. * Private healthcare and discounted dental cover, with healthy living perks and discounts. * Enhanced family-friendly leave. * The opportunity to join an innovative team building a bank fit for the future.
