Pega Data/Integration Engineer (AI)

· Design and implement data pipelines, services, and integration patterns that support Pega workflows, AI-assisted reporting, anomaly detection, prediction, and document analysis.

· Integrate approved AI/ML, NLP, or large-language-model services through secure APIs or modular connectors without creating unnecessary provider lock-in.

· Prepare and govern structured and unstructured data, including ingestion, normalization, metadata, lineage, quality scoring, source linkage, and access controls.

· Support retrieval, grounding, citation, prompt/input preparation, output parsing, and mapping of AI results into structured Pega data and workflows.

· Develop reusable data features and services for financial variance, execution trends, workflow delays, compliance checks, narrative quality, and related decision-support use cases.

· Implement versioning and auditability for models or services, prompts, templates, input fingerprints, confidence scores, explanations, and user dispositions.

· Collaborate with architects, workflow specialists, business SMEs, security personnel, and testers to maintain human-in-the-loop controls, explainability, privacy, and appropriate use.

· Support test-data preparation and validation of accuracy, bias, drift, false positives/negatives, performance, and operational usefulness before and after release.

· Troubleshoot AI data flows, integration failures, data-quality issues, latency, and output-mapping defects across environments.

· Maintain interface, data, model-integration, configuration, test, and operational documentation in approved repositories.
