You will help raise engineering standards through strong code reviews, documentation, and collaboration across teams. Join a team building scalable, production-grade AI capabilities that help teams across the firm deliver better outcomes through reliable automation and decision support. You will work end-to-end, from design to implementation and operational readiness, partnering closely with engineering and product stakeholders.

Requirements

Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 3+ years applied experience
Hands-on experience building and operating production large language model applications, including agentic patterns and tool integrations
Strong software engineering skills with experience delivering cloud-native services on AWS using containers and serverless architectures
Experience with retrieval-augmented generation approaches, including embeddings and semantic search, and practical context engineering
Proficiency building APIs and service integrations with strong attention to reliability, security, and performance
Experience establishing or contributing to evaluation, testing, and monitoring practices for AI system quality and reliability
Ability to troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems, including asynchronous workflows and event-driven architectures
Strong collaboration skills with the ability to communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to partners
Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, test creation, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; ability to guide peers on safe and effective usage within team practices.

Nice To Haves

Experience deploying and operating workloads on Kubernetes-based platforms and container orchestration patterns
Experience with experimentation frameworks and automated regression testing for large language model quality
Familiarity with large language model cost governance and performance optimization techniques (for example, caching and context efficiency)
Experience implementing guardrail patterns that support safe, reliable AI behavior in production
Experience building reusable platform components and reference implementations adopted by multiple teams

Responsibilities

Design and implement components of scalable, reliable agentic AI platforms for enterprise workflows
Build production-grade AI systems including agents, skills, memory patterns, guardrails, and tool-use orchestration
Implement retrieval and context-engineering patterns including embeddings, semantic search, grounding, summarization, and prompt/version management
Engineer cloud-native services on AWS using containers, serverless compute, and event-driven messaging patterns
Optimize latency, throughput, scalability, caching, context efficiency, and cost across large language model workloads
Develop secure, reusable APIs and integrations that connect AI capabilities to enterprise platforms and workflows
Implement evaluation, experimentation, regression testing, and observability signals to improve quality and agent behavior over time
Partner with product, platform, and engineering teams to translate requirements into resilient, measurable deliverables
Contribute to technical standards and code quality through design reviews, documentation, and peer code reviews
Leverages enterprise-authorized AI coding assist tools within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and productivity across complex deliverables (e.g., code generation/refactoring, unit test creation, documentation), while validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards; contributes learnings and reusable patterns to improve broader team effectiveness.
Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
