Title and Summary

Senior AI Engineer

Overview:
AI Solutions, part of Mastercard’s AI & Data organization, scales AI across the enterprise, moving use cases beyond pilots into trusted, production-grade capabilities embedded in Mastercard’s platforms and products. Centralizing this capability drives speed to scale, operational resilience, consistent delivery standards, and responsible AI by design, in close partnership with the AI Center of Excellence.
This position sits on the Horizontal Enablement team, reporting to the Manager, AI Engineering who heads the Tooling and Agent Development remit. The remit builds the internal tooling and agentic systems that make AI development faster and more repeatable across Mastercard and works alongside data science teams to move their research products into production. As a Senior AI Engineer, you will independently build and ship agent-based applications and developer tooling, and partner with data science counterparts and engineering partners to take proofs of concept from experiment to deployable solution.

About the Role:
• Independently execute key elements of projects within AI Engineering, resolving problems and roadblocks as they arise.
• Design and build agentic systems and internal tooling, including agent orchestration, tool and API integration, memory and context handling, prompt and workflow design, evaluation harnesses, and guardrails for safe and reliable behavior.
• Contribute to the design and development of scalable AI and machine learning systems that address complex business needs, adhering to engineering best practices.
• Work with data science counterparts to understand their research products and translate proofs of concept into deployable solutions, then liaise with engineering partners to carry those solutions through to production.
• Implement models into production, designing scalable training pipelines and deployment frameworks.
• Conduct hyperparameter tuning and validation to meet targeted performance metrics, ensuring robustness and efficiency.
• Monitor model and agent performance, manage versioning, and update solutions to sustain high-quality outputs.
• Ensure the operational stability and scalability of AI systems, adhering to ethical guidelines and contributing to the organization’s AI infrastructure.
• Contribute to solution development for new tools and services and lead smaller projects as an experienced individual contributor with specialized knowledge.

All About You:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience considered.
• Hands-on experience building agentic systems in production or near-production settings, including agent frameworks, tool and API integration, multi-step workflows, evaluation, and guardrails.
• Practical experience with Generative AI and LLMs, including prompt design, RAG patterns, and model selection and evaluation trade-offs.
• Experience partnering with data scientists or researchers to productionize proofs of concept and working with engineering partners to deliver them.
• Proficiency in Python and SQL, with solid software engineering fundamentals in testing, version control, packaging, and code review.
• Experience building and consuming APIs and integrating with internal platforms and third-party services.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and build tooling such as Git, Jenkins, Maven, and Artifactory.
• Experience deploying models or applications to production and supporting them operationally, including monitoring, versioning, and troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of machine learning and deep learning techniques and the model lifecycle, including hyperparameter tuning and validation.
• Experience with Databricks, Spark, or comparable distributed data processing environments.
• Experience working in cloud environments.
• Ability to work independently, communicate technical concepts clearly, and collaborate across data science and engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with agent and orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, or the Model Context Protocol.
• Experience with agent evaluation and observability, including tracing, regression testing, and quality benchmarking.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or Claude Code.
• Experience with MLOps tools such as MLflow, Comet, or Weights and Biases.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience building internal developer tooling, SDKs, or self-service platforms adopted by other engineering teams.
• Familiarity with responsible AI practices, data governance, and sensitive data handling.
