Contributes to the integration of AI/ML capabilities into broader enterprise solutions, with a focus on quality, scalability, and user impact. Your key responsibilities • Develop, test, deploy, and support production-grade AI/ML, generative AI, and intelligent automation solutions. • Solve complex technical problems across development, integration and production support through coding, debugging, testing, troubleshooting, and structured design remediation. • Translate user requirements into technical designs, APIs, workflows, and supportable implementation patterns. • Build and integrate LLM, RAG, and agentic solution components into enterprise solutions, applications and platforms. • Support project delivery through disciplined execution, estimation, documentation, status’ communication, and risk identification. • Participate in design reviews, providing thoughtful trade-off analysis and implementation input. • Use modern AI-assisted software engineering tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent agentic coding platforms as part of day-to-day engineering delivery to improve delivery speed, code quality and engineering efficiency. AI and Engineering Skills: Gen AI Foundational: • Experience designing, building, and maintaining production-grade LLM applications, including end-to-end pipelines from data ingestion through model output delivery (e.g. Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI etc.). • Demonstrated practical experience building retrieval-augmented systems that ground model outputs in enterprise knowledge sources, including chunking strategies, embedding pipelines, and retrieval optimization (e.g. LlamaIndex, LangChain, Pinecone, Weaviate, Azure AI Search, pgvector etc.). • Working technical knowledge of embedding models, vector search, and semantic retrieval patterns used to ground LLM outputs in enterprise knowledge sources (e.g. OpenAI Embeddings, Azure AI Search, pgvector etc.). • Proficiency in prompt engineering techniques including zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, and structured output design, with the ability to systematically evaluate and iterate on prompt performance (e.g. DSPy, PromptFlow etc.). Agentic and LLM Ops: • Experience designing and building agentic systems including multi-agent orchestration patterns, tool use, and memory design across single and multi-step workflows (e.g. LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, NVIDIA NIM etc.). • Ability to debug, troubleshoot, and remediate production LLM and agentic systems including failure diagnosis across retrieval, orchestration, and generation layers. Software Engineering: • Hands-on software engineering proficiency in Python, with the ability to write clean, modular, production-quality code for LLM pipelines and agentic applications. • Experience working with structured and unstructured data sets to support LLM application development, including data curation, preparation, and quality validation for model inputs and model responses. • Working familiarity with RESTful and event-driven API patterns including asynchronous workflows, service boundaries, and integration of enterprise data sources to expose LLM and agentic capabilities. • Practical understanding of containerization and orchestration concepts for packaging and deploying LLM applications in cloud environments (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps, AWS ECS etc.). • Understanding of software engineering best practices as applied to ML systems, including modular code design, testing patterns for AI pipelines, and data quality validation. • Familiarity with Data Monitoring and Data Observability in cloud environments (Open Telemetry, Azure Application Insights etc.). • Exposure to CI/CD and operationalization practices for AI systems, including model and workflow deployment, versioning, environment promotion, and release support in cloud or containerized environments. To qualify for the role you must have • A bachelor's or master’s degree • Minimum of 2 years of related work experience applied engineering experience, including meaningful experience in AI/ML engineering roles • Clear communicator able to explain complex AI system behavior and trade‑offs to technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including risk and compliance. • Strong ownership and accountability , taking responsibility for AI systems from design through production and issue resolution. • Able to operate effectively as requirements, regulations, and technologies evolve. • Collaborative and cross‑functional, working closely with engineering, product , teams. Ideally, you’ll also have • Partner with Development, Engineering, Product, Data, Architecture, and project leadership teams to deliver high-value AI capabilities. • Ability to build and maintain model observability pipelines including tracing of multi-step agentic reasoning chains, output degradation detection, and behavioral drift monitoring in production (e.g. LangSmith, Arize, Datadog, Azure Monitor etc.). • Familiarity with LLM fine-tuning approaches including instruction tuning and preference optimization, with an understanding of when fine-tuning is appropriate versus prompt-based solutions (e.g. LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, NeMo Framework etc.). • Familiarity with responsible AI principles including bias and fairness evaluation, human-in-the-loop design, and explainability approaches in the financial services contexts. • Familiarity with data pipeline design for AI workloads including ingestion, transformation, and quality validation. • Familiarity with cloud-based platforms for building, training, and deploying scalable LLM solutions (e.g. Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI etc.). • Familiarity with AI-assisted software engineering tools for accelerating development, implementation, and code review practices (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex etc.). Strong grounding in traditional AI/ML and deep learning fundamentals, including supervised and unsupervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation, neural network architectures, and training trade-offs, with the ability to apply these concepts when shaping enterprise AI solutions.
