If you’re looking for a career where you can make a real impression, join HSBC and discover how valued you’ll be. We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Principal Engineer (Group AI Platforms) Why join us? The Group AI Platforms team sits within CTO Platforms, part of HSBC’s Chief Technology Office (CTO). We build shared AI foundations that enable teams across the Bank to deliver AI solutions faster, more safely and at scale. Our platform provides a “paved road” for AI delivery, bringing together seamless access to AI models and infrastructure, a consistent Agent HUB to build, deploy and manage production-ready AI agents, reusable AI capabilities (such as knowledge management and document intelligence), and built-in controls including guardrails, evaluation and monitoring to support responsible adoption. We’re a global team with an established footprint across Asia (Hong Kong, Mainland China, India) and Europe (Poland, UK), and we continue to expand to support delivery across regions. Joining the team means working at the centre of HSBC’s AI enablement—partnering with multiple lines of business and functions across regions to turn AI capabilities into reliable, repeatable services that deliver measurable business value. Demonstrates an AI-native mindset, applying AI-driven approaches to improve productivity, quality, and decision-making. ### The Opportunity As a Principal Engineer in Group AI Platforms, you’ll shape the technical strategy and provide architecture oversight for HSBC’s next-generation AI platform. You’ll help establish the engineering foundations that enable AI capabilities to be delivered reliably, securely and at scale across the Bank. The role will focus on strengthening the resilience, scalability, performance and operability of core AI platform services, including the AI Gateway, security guardrails, model hosting and related foundation services. These capabilities are designed to provide dependable, always-on access to AI models and services across business applications—much like essential electricity infrastructure: consistently available when needed and capable of supporting high levels of demand. You’ll help define the target architecture and engineering standards for a unified gateway ecosystem spanning LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway and Agent Gateway, alongside Guardrails as a Service. You’ll also identify and adopt relevant advances in AI and cloud-native engineering to ensure the platform remains secure, efficient and fit for the evolving needs of the Bank. As a senior technical authority, you’ll establish engineering best practice, drive adoption across platform delivery teams and raise the standard for production readiness. You’ll champion AI-native development practices that improve delivery efficiency, software quality and engineering decision-making—while ensuring that human accountability, security, resilience and responsible use remain central. What you will need to succeed in the role: - Significant experience operating as a Principal Engineer or senior technical authority in a large-scale enterprise technology environment. - Extensive experience designing, building or operating shared platforms used by multiple product and application teams. - Strong experience with gateway platforms, service control planes, API mediation layers, service meshes or comparable enterprise integration platforms. - Experience designing platforms that support high availability, high concurrency, low latency, traffic management, rate limiting, routing, authentication and policy enforcement. - Practical understanding of security controls for AI systems, including: policy enforcement and access control; data protection and secure integration; auditability and traceability; model and capability governance; and runtime guardrails and monitoring. - Strong knowledge of production readiness, including non-functional requirements for resilience, observability, security, performance, scalability, operability and recoverability. - Working knowledge of Golang and/or Python for platform tooling, service integration, experimentation or adjacent production development. - Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native production systems, including deployment patterns, networking, scaling, service discovery, resilience and incident troubleshooting. - Experience implementing modern delivery practices such as automated testing, continuous integration and delivery, canary deployment, progressive delivery, A/B testing and automated rollback. - Familiarity with LLM gateways, MCP-based integrations, agent platforms or comparable emerging AI infrastructure is desirable. - Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to explain complex technical trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. - A collaborative leadership style and a commitment to knowledge sharing, coaching and raising engineering standards across a global team. ### Job ID 64706 /WX /51 /LP ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 28, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 11, 2026 - Listed for: 14 days - Location: Guangzhou, Guangdong, China[Apply on HSBC Holdings’s careers site →](https://portal.careers.hsbc.com/careers/job/563774612541711) ## Hiring at HSBC Holdings - Open jobs: 1,352 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Oct 13, 2026 [All HSBC Holdings jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/hsbc-holdings/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at HSBC Holdings ### [Senior Business Analyst](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/hsbc-holdings/jobs/1b55c220c3bee2813cb5/) Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ### [Product Director - Document Intelligence](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/hsbc-holdings/jobs/a88448ae10b6a5370cdd/) Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ### [Product Owner](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/hsbc-holdings/jobs/4bdc38df311121cbd0c4/) Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Group Manager - SAP ERP CoE Platforms](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/airbus/jobs/11d383b284c8e111aa58/) AIRBUS · Bangalore Area ### [SVP/VP, AdTech Lead, Performance Marketing Platforms, Group Marketing & Communications](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/dbs/jobs/acb651a055832ff51692/) DBS · Singapore - Central ### [Internship: Group Human Resources, People Operations and Digital HR, Digital and Data Enablement, Digital Platforms \[Jan to May 2027\]](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/oversea-chinese-banking/jobs/ddc8e73ca005e850e225/) Oversea-Chinese Banking · OCBC Singapore ### [Lead - Digital Platforms & Consumer Technology/Senior Lead - Digital Platforms & Consumer Technology](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bajaj-finserv/jobs/27f0e926cfda7cc94575/) Bajaj Finserv · NR Trident Tech Park [Operations jobs](/functions/operations/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
