About The Position

The Senior AI Engineer will build and scale reusable AI capabilities across the enterprise, including Evaluation-as-a-Service (EaaS) and Document Intelligence pipelines. This role will define the technical foundation for reliable, governed, and scalable AI systems, enabling teams to move from one-off solutions to standardized, production-ready capabilities. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of AI engineering, platform development, and responsible AI governance, driving both technical depth and cross-team impact. How You Will Make An Impact: Recommends solutions to new and complex problems, develops innovative strategies, quantifies the competitive performance of the organization's operations and/or markets, evaluates the potential impact of changes and reports on economic forecasts that affect the industry. Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, engineers, and researchers to deliver an end-to-end product: from ideation to data collection and analysis, model architecture design, development, testing, validation, and integration into the production environment. Design and build reusable AI platform capabilities that enable scalable model development, evaluation, and deployment across the enterprise Develop and operationalize robust pipelines for experimentation, benchmarking, and model comparison to improve decision-making and reduce rework Define and standardize schemas, APIs, and workflows to drive consistency, interoperability, and reuse across AI systems Improve reliability, reproducibility, and quality through structured experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and tracking mechanisms Partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, data science, product) to translate use cases into production-ready, reusable capabilities Optimize AI systems for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency in production environments Embed Responsible AI principles by implementing governance, evaluation standards, and audit-ready processes
