About the Role

This role involves leading the design, development, and delivery of production-grade AI systems to drive measurable business outcomes. It requires a seasoned engineer with a track record of shipping complex AI systems end-to-end, combining deep technical expertise with strong cross-functional partnership and architectural judgment. The individual will own key workstreams, serve as a technical leader, mentor engineers, partner with business stakeholders, and ensure AI capabilities meet production-grade standards for reliability, scalability, and measurability. This position demands independent judgment, a bias toward delivery, and the ability to translate ambiguous business needs into well-scoped, executed solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the architecture and delivery of production AI systems, including document intelligence (IDP), intelligent knowledge systems, and agentic orchestration, to power workflow automation at scale.
  • Own AI projects end-to-end, from problem scoping and stakeholder alignment through solution design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive technical design and architectural decisions for the team, including API design, system decomposition, evaluation strategy, and infrastructure patterns.
  • Architect and champion robust evaluation frameworks for AI systems, defining statistically sound metrics, curating benchmark datasets, and enforcing strict versioning.
  • Partner directly with cross-functional stakeholders, including Product, Operations, Legal, and Business teams, to identify AI opportunities, translate requirements, and communicate tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations.
  • Mentor and develop engineers on the team through code review, design review, pair problem-solving, and knowledge sharing.
  • Identify systemic problems and propose solutions, proactively improving team processes, tooling, and infrastructure.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience developing production AI/ML systems.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or cloud-native development patterns for AI/ML workloads.
  • Demonstrated track record of delivering complex systems from inception through production.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and ability to build well-engineered, maintainable software.
  • Adherence to software engineering best practices (source control, CI/CD, testing, documentation).
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the following: LLM-based systems (fine-tuning, inference optimization, prompt engineering, modern tooling AI tooling, such as transformers, vLLM, or agentic frameworks), document intelligence and IDP, or ML system design (training pipelines, model serving, evaluation infrastructure).
  • Experience designing and operating end-to-end ML pipelines in production, including model training, deployment, monitoring, and iteration (MLOps).
  • Solid fundamentals in statistics, experimentation, and data quality with the ability to reason rigorously about metrics, error patterns, and the limitations of AI systems.
  • Experience leading technical design, mentoring engineers, and driving architectural decisions within a team.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to represent the team in cross-functional settings, document technical designs, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience spanning more than one of LLM systems, document intelligence, and ML platform and infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with agentic architectures and protocols (i.e. MCP and A2A) or designing multi-step, tool-using AI workflows.
  • Knowledge of cost and latency optimization for LLM inference at scale (i.e. quantization, batching strategies, and model routing).
  • Prior experience in financial services or FinTech, particularly in document-heavy or compliance-sensitive domains.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or published technical writing demonstrating thought leadership in applied AI.
