Barclays
Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer
Why it's interesting
A 300-year-old bank just posted an FDE role at VP level to 'reinvent Investment Banking Research through AI' — LangChain/CrewAI, RAG, MCP tool-calling, AWS Bedrock, embedded with senior stakeholders. When Barclays borrows Palantir's job title for its Markets division — and runs parallel reqs in London and Glasgow — the FDE motion has officially crossed into finance. $150–200K base before bonus.
