Senior software engineer leaves Google in London to do LLM at Fidelity

When Dave Cunningham announced last week that he was leaving Google after nearly 11 years, he seemed pretty excited.

“I am leaving Google and applying for an LLM [large language models] “Challenges like this are rare in finance,” Cunningham said, adding that his time at Google was “fairly eventful.” Former Google colleagues questioned who would have been lucky enough to hire him.

The lucky winner was actually asset manager Fidelity, who Cunningham joined this month as vice president of data science, focusing on generative AI. After spending his entire time at Google in the firm's London office, he will now work in a hybrid arrangement.

Fidelity released a white paper on GenAI last year, saying it had developed a GenAI tool called “CatchLight” to write personalized emails to prospects and aggregate data on them to help asset managers use their time more efficiently.

Much of Fidelity's AI work takes place in Fidelity Labs, what the company calls its “fintech startup environment.” The lab's global head is Hong Kong-based John Gist, but Fidelity's chief innovation and digital officer, Ian Hood, is based in the U.K. The asset manager has an office in London, plus another 20 miles away in a big country house in Surrey, where much of its data team is based.

Cunningham's law degree probably isn't the only reason he's excited about this move: After 10 years working as an SRE engineer at Google, he was likely making more than $400,000 in London, according to Levelsfyi, and he'll likely be making more at Fidelity.
