Job description

Deriv is an AI-first company, transforming trading through cutting-edge technology. We are seeking a highly skilled Applied AI Engineer to join our dynamic team. You will play a key role in designing, developing, and deploying AI-driven solutions that power our internal tools, marketing automation, and security infrastructure.

AI is being embedded into our company DNA, across every department. For further information, please read our guide : ‘AI at Deriv : How we’re transforming fintech with AI’ .

Your challenges :

AI Solution Development

  • Design, build, and operate agentic LLM applications with tool-use / function calling, planning, memory, and structured outputs with versioned prompts.
  • Implement RAG pipelines (hybrid dense+sparse retrieval, reranking); manage vector indices and the embedding lifecycle.
  • Integrate models with internal services and third-party APIs via tool adapters; enforce schema contracts and access controls.
  • Lead feature work in recommendation / ranking, content generation / editing, and workflow orchestration backed by measurable eval metrics.

Security & Automation

  • Build AI-driven security automations : classifiers / anomaly detectors, red-teaming harnesses, and (where appropriate) autonomous testing agents.
  • Implement safety & privacy controls : prompt-injection / jailbreak defenses, PII redaction, policy filtering, and auditability.
  • Stand up real-time tracing & alerts on token / latency / cost, retrieval degradation, drift, and hallucination risk.
  • Project & Task Management

  • Own model / prompt / agent versioning and ship via CI / CD with canaries / A-B, rollback plans, and clear SLOs (quality, latency, cost).
  • Evolve workflows : PR-based changes to prompts / configs, experiment tracking, concise design docs, and ADRs (decision records).
  • Quality Assurance & Code Review

  • Enforce evaluation-first development : golden sets, synthetic probes, regression tests for prompts, grounding / faithfulness checks.
  • Review for determinism, observability, and reproducibility; address tech debt with a bias to stability and measured impact.
  • Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Partner with platform / data teams on data contracts, retrieval standards, and tenancy / access control.
  • Mentor peers on agent patterns, RAG, prompt engineering, and safe rollout; lead design reviews and share practical research findings.
  • Continuous Improvement

  • Benchmark and integrate new model families / tools via standardized bake-offs; report quality–latency–cost trade-offs.
  • Optimize serving with adapters / LoRA, distillation / quantization, routing / caching / speculative decoding; right-size infra for cost / perf.
  • Track industry and research trends; convert into pragmatic, incremental stack upgrades.
  • Requirements :

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, or similar languages.
  • Experience with AI / ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face).
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Solid understanding of security best practices and experience with security automation is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
  • Experience with task management and code collaboration tools (GitHub, Jira, ClickUp, etc.).
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a fast-paced, collaborative team.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience in AI / ML engineering, with a proven track record of delivering production-grade solutions.
  • Experience with marketing automation, content generation, or design systems.
  • Familiarity with Figma, Supabase, or similar platforms.
  • Contributions to open source AI / security projects.
  • Prior experience in a high-growth tech or fintech environment.
  • Benefits

    We pay competitive salaries based on your skills, qualifications, experience and market rates. Additionally, you’ll be eligible for an annual bonus based on individual and company performance.

    When you join Deriv, you will be supported in growing your career in our company. You can expect to have a personalised Learning and Development programme as well as the costs covered for relevant professional development and education related to advancing your career at Deriv.
