What You'll Achieve.

Deliver cited, grounded answers via both conversational experiences and programmatic APIs; Measurable, reliable, and safe AI-powered solutions in production; Improve grounding coverage; Manage risk while maintaining iteration speed; Ensure enterprise standards are met; Drive quality, reliability, and risk outcomes; Distinguish “production-grade” from “prototype”; Help shape how agentic systems are governed and operated; Achieve annual performance objectives (for incentive opportunities)

Industry & Context.

Financial Services
Problems you'll solve

Critical Thinking; Thoughtful process of analyzing data and problem solving data to reach a well-reasoned solution

What They're Looking For.

Must Have

Proven experience designing and building LLM-powered applications in production, including prompt/tool orchestration and grounded response patterns., Hands-on experience implementing multi-agent orchestration (planner/supervisor patterns, tool chaining, state management, and conditional routing., understanding of advanced retrieval for RAG: hybrid retrieval, rank fusion concepts, and reranking, with bonus points for contextual retrieval/contextual embeddings approaches., Demonstrated ability to build evaluation systems for non-deterministic AI/agent behavior (rubrics/metrics, regression suites, and release gates), replacing “vibe checks” with systematic improvement loops., Experience with AgentOps / LLMOps practices, including staged rollout models and continuous monitoring for quality, safety, and cost-per-task., security mindset for LLM applications, including awareness of prompt injection (direct and indirect) and defense-in-depth patterns (input sanitization, structured prompts, output validation, least privilege, HITL where appropriate)., Proficiency in Python and modern AI engineering frameworks commonly used for agentic systems (e. g. , graph-based orchestration patterns and RAG integration toolkits)., Experience designing and managing agent memory systems (working, long-term, episodic) and scalable prompt architectures — including version-controlled prompt libraries, hot-swap update patterns, and persona-specific prompt management across multi-agent systems., Experience building production telemetry and diagnosing distributed, multi-hop workflows using tracing/metrics/logs (OpenTelemetry-style concepts are a plus).

Nice to Have

familiarity with Databricks, Azure Foundry and other cloud AI platform patterns and operational requirements for model/agent lifecycle management (versioning, promotion, rollback, policy enforcement, telemetry)., experience in regulated or audit-minded environments where governance, traceability, and operational resilience matter.
