About the Role

This engineering role is part of Janus Henderson's firm-wide AI transformation, focusing on building governance into the platform through code and design. You will translate requirements from risk, legal, privacy, and audit specialists into technical solutions for AI applications and enterprise datasets.

Responsibilities

Build governance into the platform by turning policies into reusable controls, policy-as-code, deployment gates, and secure defaults.
Create self-service governance patterns and templates for safe team building without repeated manual approvals.
Embed control checks and evidence capture into repositories, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and deployment workflows.
Establish cost, usage, data-access, and model-access boundaries enforced by default.
Define a proportionate lifecycle for AI experiments, pilots, production AI products, model changes, and autonomous agents.
Engineer identity, access, and permissions for agents, models, tools, connectors, and service accounts.
Implement least privilege and entitlement models that hold across multiple systems.
Build approval and human-in-the-loop patterns for high-stakes actions, while keeping low-risk activity self-service.
Implement an auditable framework for agents and end-user-developed applications.
Build the evidence, telemetry, and evaluation layer to reconstruct AI interactions and monitor control failures.
Work with AI Engineering and AI Platforms to ensure consistent telemetry across the AI ecosystem.
Build evaluation and regression hooks into the release path with automated acceptance thresholds.
Design monitoring for control failures, model drift, anomalous use, permission breaches, and high-risk actions.
Build dashboards and evidence packs for service owners, Risk, Infosec, and Internal Audit.
Translate across domains by working with various specialists to understand needs and convert them into technical requirements.
Write specific standards and control requirements, and explain platform behavior to non-engineers.
Advise AI Architecture, AI Engineering, AI Platforms, and Forward Deployed Engineering on control design.
Support risk-based onboarding of new foundation models, AI software, and connectors.
Work alongside Percepta to transfer controls and operating knowledge into ownership.

Requirements

At least six years in software, platform, or security engineering with a track record of building and operating production systems.
Strong Python and SQL skills.
Hands-on ability with APIs, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD.
Real depth in identity and access management (authentication, authorization, RBAC, service principals, workload identity, secrets management, entitlement models, least privilege).
Practical understanding of technical controls (preventive, detective, secure defaults, deployment gates, evidence production).
Hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (ideally Azure), including logging, monitoring, and data-protection primitives.
Ability to work with stakeholders from non-technical domains (risk, legal, privacy, compliance, audit, security) and translate their needs into technical designs.
Practical knowledge of generative AI and agentic systems (foundation models, prompts, retrieval, tools, connectors, model gateways, autonomous workflows).
Judgement to distinguish control objectives from preferred implementations and apply proportionate controls based on risk.
Clear communication skills to write technical standards and explain platform behavior to non-engineers.
