We are seeking an AI Engineer to design, build, and operationalize AI-powered applications and intelligent workflows that leverage the capabilities of AWS Bedrock and Snowflake Cortex AI. This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of applied AI, data infrastructure, and product delivery - building the systems that make our risk intelligence smarter, faster, and more actionable for lenders across the financial industry. In this role you'll work closely with Data Science, Data Engineering, Product, and backend engineering teams to move AI capabilities from prototype to production. The ideal candidate has deep, practical experience building LLM-powered applications on cloud platforms, a strong foundation in data engineering, and the instincts to ship reliable, secure, observable AI systems in a regulated environment. Responsibilities * Design and build production AI applications using AWS Bedrock and Snowflake Cortex AI, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, LLM-powered workflows, agents, and semantic search systems * Integrate foundation models (Claude, Titan, Llama, Mistral, and others available via Bedrock) into Point Predictive's products and internal tooling, selecting the right model for each task based on performance, cost, and compliance requirements * Build and maintain AI pipelines using Snowflake's native intelligence capabilities - Cortex LLM functions, Cortex Search, ML classification, and Document AI - to surface actionable signals from structured and unstructured data * Develop and maintain vector stores, embedding pipelines, and document ingestion workflows that power semantic retrieval and context assembly for LLM applications * Implement AI agent frameworks and multi-step reasoning workflows using AWS Bedrock Agents, Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and associated tool-use and orchestration patterns * Partner with Data Science to integrate model outputs, risk scores, and feature signals into LLM context windows, enabling AI systems that reason over Point Predictive's proprietary data * Instrument AI systems with observability, evaluation frameworks, and guardrails - tracking latency, accuracy, hallucination rates, and cost across models and pipelines * Manage prompt engineering, versioning, and systematic evaluation of prompt performance across use cases and model versions * Enforce security, compliance, and data governance controls across all AI systems - ensuring PII handling, model access, and output logging meet financial industry requirements * Contribute to AI platform infrastructure: IAM policies, VPC configurations, Bedrock service quotas, and Snowflake role-based access controls * Stay current on the rapidly evolving landscape of foundation models, AI tooling, and evaluation techniques, and bring relevant innovations to the team, * Production AI applications that are reliable, observable, and trusted by internal teams and customers * LLM workflows that deliver measurable accuracy and business value - with clear evals to prove it * RAG pipelines that surface the right context at the right time, reducing hallucination and improving decision quality * AI systems that meet compliance, security, and data governance requirements without friction * Snowflake and Bedrock capabilities deeply integrated into Point Predictive's data and product stack * Clear documentation and reproducible prompt libraries that the team can build on * Models selected, deployed, and tuned with a clear-eyed view of cost, latency, and risk tradeoffs Why This Role * Build AI systems that directly power fraud detection and risk decisioning across major U.S. lenders * Work at the frontier of applied LLM engineering - Bedrock and Snowflake Cortex are production tools, not experiments * High-impact, high-visibility role during a critical phase of AI integration across the company * Collaborate with an experienced data science and engineering team with deep domain expertise in financial risk * Shape how Point Predictive builds AI - tooling, architecture, and evaluation standards are still being defined ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [How to Avoid LLM Pitfalls - Mete Atamel and Guillaume Laforge](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1328-how-to-avoid-llm-pitfalls-mete-atamel-and-guillaume-laforge) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
