We partner with Research Analysts, Portfolio Managers, Asset Management Operations, Sustainability teams, and Distribution teams across Europe and Asia to deliver modern platforms that enhance investment research, knowledge discovery, data-driven insights, and informed investment decision-making.

Our team develops and supports the technology ecosystem used across multiple investment capabilities, including Equities, Fixed Income, Multi-Asset, Systematic Investing, and Sustainable Investing. Our platforms underpin critical research processes including company and market research, sustainability analysis, financial modelling, investment content management, knowledge discovery, collaboration, and research analytics, enabling investment professionals to generate high-quality investment insights and improve client outcomes.

As Artificial Intelligence continues to transform investment research and software engineering, we are investing in modern engineering practices that combine AI-assisted software development with AI-powered research capabilities to improve productivity, accelerate insight generation, and enhance engineering quality. The AI Solutions Engineer will play a key role in designing, developing, and delivering enterprise AI solutions while enabling engineering teams to adopt AI-enabled development practices safely, effectively, and responsibly across the Research Technology platform.

About your role

The AI Solutions Engineer is a hands-on technical engineer responsible for accelerating software engineering delivery through the effective adoption of Artificial Intelligence and modern engineering practices.

Working closely with Engineering Leads, Solution Architects, Product Owners and software engineering teams, you will identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity through AI-assisted development while maintaining Fidelity's high standards for architecture, engineering governance, software quality and security.

You will combine strong software engineering expertise with practical knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-powered development tooling to establish best practices for AI-assisted software engineering. This includes to make effective use of technologies such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and other AI coding assistants to improve software design, implementation, testing, documentation and operational support.

The role is equally focused on engineering excellence and innovation. You will apply modern software and AI engineering practices through hands-on design, development, testing, deployment, and production support, contribute to architectural decisions within established standards, support the adoption and continuous improvement of CI/CD, DevSecOps practices and implement approved security, governance, and Responsible AI controls throughout the software development lifecycle.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape how AI is adopted across Asset Management Platforms, helping engineering teams deliver high-quality software faster while ensuring solutions remain secure, maintainable and aligned with Fidelity's engineering standards.
