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 an AI Enablement Engineer, helping ClearBank take the next step in how AI is used responsibly and effectively across software engineering. We are already exploring meaningful AI usage across engineering; this role is about helping turn that exploration into scalable, observable and well-governed engineering practice. This is not a pure model-building role and it is not simply about giving engineers access to tools. You will help teams apply AI in real delivery workflows, understand where it genuinely improves outcomes, and support the development of safe, practical patterns that can be used across multiple teams. You will be * Helping engineering teams apply AI within coding, testing, review, debugging, documentation and delivery workflows. * Working with engineers to identify where AI creates genuine leverage and where it introduces risk or noise. * Supporting the rollout of AI-enabled practices across teams, with an emphasis on adoption, repeatability and practical enablement. * Helping define how ClearBank measures the impact of AI on developer experience, productivity, quality and release cadence. * Contributing to governance, auditability, observability and guardrails for responsible AI usage. * Working collaboratively with Security, Model Risk and other partners to keep controls proportionate and non-blocking. * Sharing patterns, examples and guidance that help engineers use AI safely and effectively. What you will be doing * Evaluate AI-assisted development tools, copilots, agentic workflows and workflow-integrated capabilities based on evidence and fit for purpose. * Help teams embed AI into SDLC workflows without creating brittle side channels or unmanaged risk. * Support practical approaches to AI usage observability, including adoption, usage patterns, effectiveness and quality indicators. * Explore or contribute to platform capabilities such as LLM access patterns, guardrails, workflow integrations or internal developer tooling. * Capture feedback from engineering teams and turn it into improvements, guidance and repeatable practices. * Build relationships across engineering and wider ClearBank teams using AI, helping avoid duplication and share what works. What we are looking for * Strong background in software engineering, platform engineering, DevEx or DevOps. * Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools or LLM-enabled workflows in real engineering environments. * Evidence of improving engineering workflows, developer experience or productivity within a team or across adjacent teams. * Curiosity and pragmatism around AI, with a focus on outcomes rather than novelty. * Ability to reason about AI governance, guardrails, model/tool evaluation and safe usage patterns. * Comfortable working in or with regulated environments, ideally financial services, banking, payments, fintech or another controlled environment. * Familiarity with engineering productivity, quality or adoption metrics. * Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly to engineers and stakeholders. * Collaborative, empathetic and motivated by enabling others to succeed. * Exposure to Azure, .NET or Azure DevOps would be useful, but is not a 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.
