AI Engineer

Position: AI Engineer
Location: New York, New York
Duration: Contract
Job ID: 177525

Job Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced AI Engineer to join our team. The role involves building an enterprise-grade Generative AI (GenAI) workflow platform to enable document data extraction, embedded productivity assistants, and automated business workflows across various business lines. This is a hands-on, production-focused role requiring expertise in designing, building, and operating GenAI systems with a strong emphasis on failure modes, evaluation, and governance.

Responsibilities:

• Design and evolve reusable GenAI workflows for use across Lending business lines.
• Develop an enterprise-grade AI-based document ingestion and data extraction capability, including traceability, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop review.
• Build AI-powered assistants embedded in Lending systems using agentic workflows.
• Deliver automated content and deck generation workflows for reporting and approvals.
• Provide expert advice on GenAI architecture, including model selection, orchestration patterns, and evaluation strategy.
• Establish LLMOps practices, such as extraction accuracy, assistant reliability, prompt management, and audit monitoring.
• Design and implement controls for entitlements and PII handling within open-source models in a regulated environment.
• Act as a hands-on technical expert with a clear path to becoming a platform owner responsible for shared GenAI standards across Lending.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of dedicated experience in the practical application of GenAI solutions in an enterprise business environment.
• Experience designing and operating GenAI orchestration frameworks in production beyond vendor examples (e.g., LangChain systems).
• 5+ years of strong front-to-back engineering experience, focusing on AI/ML platforms and workflows (Python or Java).
• Proven experience building and operating production-grade GenAI/LLM platforms, applying patterns such as RAG, tool/function calling, agentic workflows, and validated structured outputs.
• Strong LLMOps expertise, including evaluation harnesses, prompt and version management, regression testing, observability, and reliability measurement in production systems.
• Hands-on experience building AI-first data ingestion pipelines with measurable quality, accuracy, and reliability.
• Advanced retrieval experience, including advanced vector search, multi-vector and late interaction approaches (e.g., ColBERT, chunking), multi-stage retrieval pipelines, metadata filtering, and reranking.
• Solid understanding of evaluation metrics and their impact on practical RAG system design (e.g., recall vs. precision, latency vs. quality, MRR, NDCG).
• Experience operating GenAI systems through real production failures (e.g., model regressions, retrieval degradation, prompt drift, data quality issues) and designing mitigation strategies.

Nice to Have:

• Fixed Income or Institutional Lending domain experience.
• Experience working in regulated environments with strong audit and control requirements.
• Familiarity with enterprise security, data governance, and entitlement models.
• Experience designing reusable internal platforms or shared developer tooling.
• Frontend experience (Angular or React) is beneficial.
