Software Engineer, GenAI Products - Vice President - IRVING

Citi•Irving, TX

About The Position

The Opportunity We're building 'Citi Assist', a Generative AI assistant for every Citi employee on the planet. This is ground-floor work on a platform that will reach hundreds of thousands of people. You won't be maintaining someone else's system. You'll be shaping ours. You'll join a team that owns its work from idea to production. No hand-offs. No waiting for someone else to deploy. As a VP-level engineer, you're expected to be a strong executor: someone who takes a problem, works out the right solution, and ships it. You'll work closely alongside our lead engineers, taking real ownership of features and workstreams rather than just tickets. Your starting point is Citi Assist. But the role has room to grow. We're also the team that provides the platforms and guidance that help the entire organisation adopt GenAI safely and at scale. We want someone who'll grow with us, not just fill a seat. Our Team We sit within Developer Enablement, inside the Chief Technology Office. We own our work from idea to production. No hand-offs to a separate ops team. No waiting for someone else to deploy. Our culture runs on engineering craftsmanship. Leadership here actually understands what that means. We're proving what's possible inside a large organisation, and that means navigating some legacy alongside building the future. If you want everything perfect on day one, this isn't the right fit. If you want to help us get there, keep reading. The team is distributed across Pune, London, and Texas. You'll work closely with engineers across time zones and partner directly with product and platform leadership.
