Your Opportunity

As an experienced AI Engineer, you will design, build, and deploy production‑grade AI solutions that bridge experimental machine learning with scalable software engineering. In this replacement role, you will play a critical role in enabling enterprise‑ready AI capabilities with a strong focus on large language models (LLMs), retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), and agentic workflows, operating within established governance frameworks.Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and deploy robust, scalable, production‑grade AI applications using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGPT, and related LLM orchestration tools.
• Develop, refine, and optimize complex prompt strategies; manage model context windows; and fine‑tune models where required to maximize performance, accuracy, and cost efficiency.
• Integrate AI capabilities into existing enterprise environments through RESTful APIs, microservices, and cloud‑native architectures.
• Build, maintain, and optimize vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate) and design efficient data ingestion and embedding pipelines to support retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) solutions.
• Monitor AI systems in production and proactively address issues related to hallucinations, latency, reliability, scalability, and token‑cost optimization.
• Collaborate closely with AI Architects, AI Studio Leads, ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Full‑Stack Developers, Service Line Labs, and Citizen Developers on firm‑wide initiatives and internal platforms.
• Support AI system documentation, lifecycle management, and control processes in alignment with ISO/IEC 42001 enterprise governance requirements.
• Adhere to established AI risk management, data governance, and security policies, and assist with model inventories, traceability, and change‑management activities.
• Participate in model testing and validation activities in accordance with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, including mapping and measuring model risks.
• Support the implementation of risk‑mitigation controls and ongoing monitoring, and follow governance processes that promote transparency, accountability, and responsible AI use.
