Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior Experienced AI Engineer to lead the design, prototyping, and delivery of GenAI-enabled automation solutions across banking operations. This role is intended for a hands-on engineering leader who can translate complex operational workflows into secure, scalable, and auditable AI solutions while operating with the maturity expected of a Vice President-equivalent role in a banking environment.
The successful candidate will combine deep software engineering capability, practical LLM implementation experience, solid stakeholder management, and sound judgment around risk, compliance, data privacy, and model governance. The role requires ownership beyond coding: the engineer will define solution approaches, Operations team, influence business stakeholders, establish engineering standards, and help move high-value prototypes toward pilot and production readiness.
Key Responsibilities
AI solution ownership — Own the end-to-end engineering lifecycle for GenAI and automation initiatives, from process discovery and feasibility assessment through prototype,
pilot, production handover, and operational support.
Banking process automation — Analyse complex banking workflows across operations, compliance, risk, servicing, KYC and reporting to identify high-impact automation opportunities.
GenAI and agentic system design — Design LLM-powered workflows, RAG-based solutions, autonomous or semi-autonomous agents, prompt chains, tool-calling patterns, and human-in-the-loop review mechanisms.
Rapid prototyping and MVP delivery — Build functional prototypes and MVPs using leading LLM platforms such as Claude, Gemini, Copilot, OpenAI/Azure OpenAI, or equivalent enterprise AI services.
Secure integration — Integrate AI capabilities with enterprise systems, APIs, workflow platforms, data repositories, document management systems, and mock or production-like banking data environments.
Engineering standards — Establish coding, testing, documentation, v
