• Design, build and deploy production-grade Generative AI solutions (RAG pipelines, conversational assistants, multi-agent systems) using Python and modern LLM frameworks.

• Lead prompt engineering, chain-of-thought orchestration, structured output parsing, guardrails and evaluation pipelines for LLM-based applications.

• Architect and own RAG pipelines end-to-end: document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector store management and retrieval optimization.

Platform & MLOps

• Deploy and operate GenAI applications on cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure or GCP), with a focus on scalability, security and cost optimization.

• Implement evaluation and monitoring frameworks for AI systems: response quality, latency, hallucination detection and feedback loops.

• Define MLOps practices for LLM-based systems: versioning, automated evaluation and production monitoring.

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

• Act as technical lead for GenAI initiatives, mentoring engineers and setting technical direction.

• Translate business requirements from banking stakeholders (risk, compliance, customer experience) into robust technical solutions.

• Partner with architecture, security and compliance teams to ensure GenAI solutions meet the regulatory standards of the banking sector.

• Hands-on experience integrating LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI) into production systems.

• Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, OpenSearch, FAISS, Weaviate) and embedding optimization.

• Solid cloud experience (AWS, Azure or GCP) for deploying and scaling AI workloads.

• Strong understanding of data security, privacy and regulatory considerations relevant to the banking / financial sector.

• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor engineering teams.

• Fluent English.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience designing multi-agent or agentic AI workflows.

• Familiarity with AI observability tools (Langfuse, Weights & Biases, Helicone).

• Prior experience in banking, financial services or other highly regulated industries.

• Experience with MLOps practices and model governance frameworks.

EDUCATION

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI/ML or a related field.

PREFERRED CERTIFICATIONS

• AWS, Azure or GCP ML/AI certifications, a plus.
