Job Overview

Why This Role Matters

Join Citi Finance Technology to lead the design and development of a next-generation AI-powered Adjustment Platform. As a Full Stack Technical Lead, you will architect and build scalable front-end and back-end solutions using up-to-date technologies, while leveraging Agentic AI, Generative AI, NLP, and conversational AI to transform finance operations. Collaborate with global Finance, Risk, and Engineering teams to deliver secure, high-impact, enterprise-grade applications.

About the Platform

The Intelligent AI-Powered Adjustment Platform is a strategic transformation initiative designed to reimagine finance adjustment processing through automation and intelligence. As the technical lead, you will architect and build a platform that:

- Orchestrates agentic AI workflows to automate complex, multi-step adjustment processes end-to-end.
- Delivers conversational (chat-based) experiences that let users initiate, review, and resolve adjustments naturally.

What Makes This Role Exciting

- Build the future — architect a greenfield, AI-native platform for a major finance transformation initiative.
- Agentic AI at the core — design intelligent, autonomous workflows powered by NLP, chat, and Generative AI.
- Cross-domain exposure — data, risk, and finance across Wholesale and Retail businesses.
- Modern engineering culture — TDD, CI/CD, observability, cloud, microservices, and DevOps done right.

- Build and integrate NLP-driven capabilities — intent recognition, entity extraction, classification, and summarization — to process adjustment requests intelligently.
- Deliver conversational AI / chat experiences powered by Large Language Models (LLMs).
- Pioneer the adoption of Generative AI across the engineering lifecycle — from AI-assisted coding (GitHub / Microsoft Copilot, Devin) to AI-driven testing, code review, and documentation.
