Job Description:

About the Role

We are looking for a seasoned AI Engineer II to take ownership of high-impact AI and agentic AI initiatives across enterprise authentication and fraud-prevention domains. You will architect and lead the implementation of large-scale intelligent systems—spanning multi-agent workflows, LLM orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, and end-to-end automation pipelines—while ensuring compliance with AI governance, risk controls, and enterprise standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the architecture, development, and deployment of production-grade AI and agentic AI systems.
  • Design scalable multi-agent pipelines integrating LLMs, RAG components, graph/vector databases, and microservice infrastructure.
  • Partner with data science, product, and fraud strategy teams to translate business objectives into AI-driven solutions.
  • Own observability frameworks for model drift, bias detection, latency, and throughput monitoring.
  • Build automation and orchestration frameworks that reduce manual workloads and enable adaptive AI responses.
  • Mentor junior engineers and data scientists on best practices in ML architecture, code quality, and scalable deployment.
  • Ensure adherence to responsible AI guidelines, security standards, and data privacy requirements.
  • Lead POCs for emerging AI tech (vendor LLMs, agentic platforms, fine-tuning pipelines) and evaluate enterprise adoption potential.

Qualifications

  • Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
  • 5–8 years of AI or ML engineering experience with a proven track record of building and scaling AI systems in production.
  • Deep expertise in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face).
  • Demonstrated experience deploying LLMs, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent orchestration at scale.
  • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (Azure, Databricks, Kubernetes, Docker, MLflow).
  • Proficiency in data engineering (Spark, SQL), APIs, and microservice architecture.
  • Excellent system-design skills and ability to evaluate trade-offs between performance, cost, and compliance.
  • Strong communication and mentoring skills, comfortable presenting technical concepts to executives and cross-functional teams.

Preferred

  • Experience in financial services, fraud prevention, identity proofing, or risk analytics.
  • Knowledge of AI governance standards and model validation best practices in regulated environments.
  • Hands-on experience integrating third-party AI platforms (OpenAI Enterprise, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI, etc.).
