About this role

<p><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="First Paragraph">We are building the FDE function at Diligent from the ground up</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="First Paragraph">&nbsp;with ambitions to grow this team to 20–25 people.

This is not a support or consultancy role. It is a builder role, for someone who is equally comfortable reading a failing agent trace, running a discovery workshop with a bank’s internal audit team, and translating what they find into a production-grade agentic solution.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559738":180,"335559739":180}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="Body Text">You will be building AI agents for GRC professionals</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="Body Text">,</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="Body Text">&nbsp;not assistants that surface suggestions, but agents that</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="Body Text">&nbsp;</span></span><strong><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="Body Text">own complex, multi-step workflows end to end</span></span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="Body Text">. Agents that customers can hand a task to and trust it will come back done. Closing the gap between a promising prototype and something a company Board and ELT depends on is a completely different discipline to building the prototype.
