Purpose

The AI Engineer is an individual contributor responsible for designing, building, and operationalizing enterprise grade AI solutions in a highly regulated banking environment. This role will execute AI engineering and MLOps/LLMOps, ensuring AI solutions are secure, scalable, auditable, and production ready. You will work with Senior Engineers to build and deploy production grade AI systems end to end.

What You'll Do

Production AI Engineering (Build, Deploy, Run)

Implement production‑grade AI services and pipelines (batch and real‑time) with strong focus on reliability, performance, and operational excellence in the cloud
Execute, manage and support the packaging and deployment of models and solutions as scalable services (APIs, jobs, agents) with clear SLAs, monitoring, alerting, and runbooks.
Own complex problem resolution across environments, including production incidents related to AI systems.

Governance‑by‑Design (Banking & Regulatory Alignment)

Embed AI governance directly into engineering workflows, including:
- Security and access controls
- Data classification and handling
- Model risk management requirements
- Privacy and consent controls
- Responsible AI principles
- Auditability and regulatory traceability
Partner closely with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Architecture teams to ensure AI solutions meet internal and external regulatory expectations.

Generative AI & Advanced AI Capabilities

Implementation of Generative AI patterns such as Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, semantic search, and agent workflows.
Ensure GenAI solutions are grounded in approved data sources, governed access, logging, and retention policies.
Define evaluation and monitoring approaches for GenAI outputs in regulated use cases.

Enterprise MLOps / LLMOps

Implement automated ML/LLM delivery pipelines covering training, evaluation, approval, deployment, and rollback.
Implement standards for model versioning, reproducibility, environment isolation, and controlled releases.
Reduce time‑to‑production while increasing safety, repeatability, and governance through automation.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
3+ years of experience in cloud engineering, with 3+ years focused on AI/ML systems
Expert‑level proficiency in Python, SQL and cloud infrastructure
Hands‑on experience deploying AI solutions in cloud environments (Azure and GCP).
Deep understanding of production concerns: reliability, scalability, observability, cost, and security.
Experience delivering AI solutions in regulated industries (banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare).
Strong familiarity with model risk management, audit requirements, and regulatory review processes.
Hands‑on experience with enterprise MLOps / LLMOps tooling and platform design.
Experience designing platform‑level AI capabilities, not just individual models.
