Job responsibilities Lead the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of client-facing Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions that enhance automation, personalization, and decision-making for external clients. Architect and implement prompt-based models on Large Language Models (LLMs) for NLP tasks tailored to financial services use cases such as document summarization, intelligent search, conversational interfaces, and advisory support. Design and build autonomous agentic AI workflows capable of multi-step reasoning, tool use, and task execution with appropriate human-in-the-loop guardrails aligned with emerging enterprise patterns such as OpenAI Frontier and Anthropic Claude Cowork, and implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations to enable AI agents to securely connect to and interact with external data sources, APIs, and enterprise tools in real time. Build and maintain scalable data pipelines and data processing workflows for both structured and unstructured data, leveraging cloud services to support LLM-based features and real-time client interactions and design and develop robust APIs and microservices to integrate AI/LLM models into client-facing platforms, ensuring seamless, low-latency experiences. Drive adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test acceleration, release readiness, incident/root-cause analysis), while establishing measurable validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of proven patterns and automation within the SDLC/TLM toolchain. Apply knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including approved AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation at scale. Develop secure, high-quality, production-grade code that powers client-facing applications, ensuring reliability, performance, and compliance with financial industry standards. Produce architecture and design artifacts for complex, distributed applications while ensuring design constraints, including latency, throughput, and regulatory requirements, are met and implement observability, monitoring, and feedback loops for agentic AI systems to track agent behavior, detect hallucinations, and ensure reliability in high-stakes financial applications Gather, analyze, synthesize, and develop visualizations and reporting from large, diverse datasets to inform product improvements, monitor model performance, and enhance client outcomes and proactively identify hidden problems and patterns in data and system behavior, using these insights to drive improvements to code quality, system resilience, and client experience. Partner closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to translate client needs and business requirements into scalable AI-driven technical solutions. Ensure all client-facing solutions adhere to strict security, privacy, and regulatory standards applicable to the financial services industry, including data protection, model governance, and responsible AI practices, particularly as regulators increase scrutiny of autonomous AI agents in financial services.
