- Partner with business units across divisions to understand workflows and pain points, and translate use cases into clear technical specifications
- Serve as a technical resource and enablement partner for embedded AI roles within business divisions
- Build and refine retrieval systems and prompt architectures that drive agent accuracy and reliability
- Prototype solutions and move them from proof-of-concept to embedded, day-to-day use across the bank
- Help develop and document workflows to govern and administer enterprise AI tools such as Claude, including access provisioning and usage policies
- Support responsible AI practices, including data handling and permissions appropriate for a regulated banking environment
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field
- 1-4 years of experience in software engineering, data/ML engineering, or a related technical role
- Experience working with LLM-based tools and enterprise cloud and collaboration platforms
- Hands-on experience with LLM-based tools (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or similar), including prompt engineering and/or agent frameworks
- Familiarity with the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, Copilot, Power Platform, or M365 admin and development tools)
- Comfort working with APIs, MCPs, basic data pipelines, and integration patterns
- Knowledge of AI governance, tool administration, and responsible AI considerations
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to sit with a non-technical stakeholder and translate their workflow into a technical plan
- Experience in regulated industries, such as financial services is preferred
