You will bridge state-of-the-art research and enterprise-grade engineering to build systems that are safe, reliable, and scalable. You will partner across product, engineering, and business teams to prioritize high-impact problems and deliver outcomes. You will also raise the technical bar through mentorship, technical leadership, and strong scientific rigor.
Job responsibilities
- Architect end-to-end agent-based and generative artificial intelligence solutions to automate complex operational workflows
- Translate ambiguous business problems into research hypotheses, measurable success metrics, and production-ready designs
- Build and ship multiple collaborating agents that coordinate planning and execution across large, multi-step processes
- Design reusable services, libraries, and evaluation frameworks that accelerate adoption across artificial intelligence and engineering teams
- Establish robust experimentation practices, including offline/online evaluation, monitoring, and iterative improvement loops
- Partner with stakeholders across teams to identify priority use cases, define roadmaps, and deliver scalable capabilities
- Ensure solutions meet enterprise expectations for reliability, security, and long-term maintainability in production

- Advanced degree (master’s or doctorate) in computer science, engineering, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Demonstrated experience deploying machine learning and/or generative artificial intelligence systems into production at enterprise scale
- Strong foundation in machine learning fundamentals, experimental design, and data-driven decision-making
- Experience designing distributed systems for model training, inference, and stateful services in production environments
- Proven ability to create evaluation strategies for agent-based systems (quality, safety, latency, cost, and reliability), and improve them over time
- Strong programming and engineering skills with a track record of building maintainable, reusable components used by other teams
- Demonstrated ability to lead through influence in cross-functional environments and drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred qualifications, capabilities and skills
- Experience deploying and operating machine learning workloads on Amazon Web Services (for example, Amazon SageMaker or Amazon Bedrock)
- Publication history, open-source contributions, or demonstrated applied research impact in areas such as large language models, reinforcement learning, or autonomous agents
- Experience with containerized and cloud-native deployment patterns (for example, Kubernetes-based platforms)
- Familiarity with governance and risk considerations for artificial intelligence systems, including privacy, model safety, and responsible use
- Domain experience applying advanced analytics or artificial intelligence to large-scale operational processes in financial services or other regulated industries
