In this role, you will combine core software engineering excellence with advanced AI development to drive the creation of cutting-edge solutions. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners to develop AI prototypes and production-ready applications, ensuring they are built on solid engineering principles. You will contribute to requirements analysis, stakeholder collaboration, and the design, debugging, testing, and deployment of effective, scalable software solutions. Your expertise will help us review, analyze, and improve business processes by leveraging both standard application development and advanced machine learning techniques. This is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact within the financial sector, contributing to product design, user experience, and ongoing system enhancements. Visa Sponsorship: This AI Engineer position is currently not eligible for employment visa sponsorship (e.g., H-1B visa). This includes, for example, situations where a candidate may have temporary work authorization while enrolled in school or upon graduation (e.g., CPT, OPT) but would need H-1B visa sponsorship within a few years of employment in order to maintain employment eligibility. Responsibilities: * Develop innovative AI/ML software solutions, specifically focusing on Generative AI, LLMs, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures, while adhering to enterprise software standards. * Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable RESTful APIs and microservices to expose AI capabilities to internal and external applications using Python (FastAPI/Flask) and/or Java (Spring Boot). * Support testing, configuration management, and source code/change management processes, ensuring strict adherence to Git workflows and version control best practices. * Support and maintain AI pipelines and infrastructure to ensure optimal system performance, scalability, and reliability. * Design, debug, test, and deploy software using Python and/or Java fundamentals, writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code. * Participate in code reviews, ensuring code quality, security, and testability across the team. * Review, analyze, and evaluate business processes, recommending improvements and changes using both standard software automation and AI. * Participate in unit testing, integration testing, feasibility assessments, and systems documentation. * Execute change and release processes (CI/CD), including model versioning and deployment, documenting solutions with clear, well-commented code. * Build proof of concept (PoC) examples and graphical simulation software. * Participate in product design reviews, offering creative and practical ideas and solutions. * Collaborate with customer service, product managers, developers, and IT to enhance user experience and achieve product goals. * Other duties as assigned. ## Related Videos - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [Build your backend using FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/506-build-your-backend-using-fastapi) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Can This Elephant Dance?
