We are looking for an enthusiastic **Generative AI Developer** to join our Controls Technology team and support the development and integration of generative AI solutions. In this hands-on role, you will work under the guidance of senior developers and AI architects to help build retrieval-grounded, context-aware, and increasingly **agentic** AI applications. You will contribute to reliable, AI-driven features while growing your expertise across the up-to-date GenAI stack. This role focuses on **applying pre-trained and hosted foundation models** - through context engineering, RAG, knowledge graphs, and agentic workflows - rather than training or fine-tuning models. This is a growth-oriented role: you'll take ownership of well-scoped components, learn established patterns from senior engineers, and progressively increase your technical depth and independence. **Key Responsibilities** + Assist in building and integrating generative AI applications using pre-trained and hosted foundation models (via managed GenAI APIs and open-model endpoints). + Support the implementation of **context engineering** workflows - assembling system instructions, retrieved knowledge, tool definitions, and conversation memory into reliable, token-efficient prompts, following established patterns. + Contribute to **prompt engineering** (zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, role-based prompting) for AI-powered workflows. + Help develop and maintain **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** components, including chunking, embedding, and semantic/keyword search. + Support the development of **knowledge graph** and **Graph RAG** pipelines under guidance to enable grounded, traceable responses. + Contribute to **agentic workflows** - helping build AI agents with tool-calling and basic planning/memory, using frameworks such as **Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)** , LangGraph, or CrewAI. + Assist with integrating agents to external tools and data sources via the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** , with exposure to the **Agent2Agent (A2A)** protocol. + Support the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of GenAI and agentic applications in production environments. + Perform **data preprocessing, document ingestion,
and basic API development** for AI applications. + Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to integrate AI capabilities into products. + Participate in code reviews, testing, and documentation to ensure quality and reliability. + Stay curious about advancements in GenAI and agentic AI, and share learnings with the team. **Required Technical Skills** + Proficiency in **Python** for GenAI development, data preprocessing, and scripting. + Solid understanding of **core generative AI concepts** - foundation models, LLMs, tokenization, embeddings, and context windows. + Hands-on experience with **prompt engineering** ; foundational understanding of **context engineering** techniques. + Practical experience (project or professional) building **RAG systems** , including chunking, vector databases, and semantic search. + Familiarity with **knowledge graphs** and interest in **Graph RAG** for relationship-aware retrieval. + Exposure to **agentic AI development** - building tool-using agents or multi-step workflows with a framework such as **Google ADK** , LangGraph, CrewAI, or the OpenAI Agents SDK. + Awareness of **agent tooling and protocols** , including tool/function calling and the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** ; familiarity with the **A2A** protocol is a plus. + Basic understanding of **agent harness** concepts - session/state management, memory, and guardrails. + Experience consuming **major GenAI APIs** (e.g., OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) and exposure to orchestration frameworks such as **LangChain** or **LlamaIndex** . + Understanding of application deployment and containerization ( **Docker** ). + Working knowledge of version control systems ( **Git** ). + Awareness of AI compliance, data privacy, guardrails, and responsible AI principles.
**Required Soft Skills** + Strong teamwork and communication abilities. + Eagerness to learn new AI/GenAI and agentic technologies and frameworks. + Analytical mindset and attention to detail. + Openness to feedback, coaching, and continuous improvement. **Qualifications** + Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or a related field. + **4+ years of experience with min 2-4 years** of professional experience in software/AI development, with **exposure to** Generative AI and agentic AI. + Experience contributing to AI/GenAI or software projects in a collaborative team setting. + Exposure to cloud-based AI/ML environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) is a plus. ------------------------------------------------------ **Job Family Group:** Technology ------------------------------------------------------ **Job Family:** Applications Development ------------------------------------------------------ **Time Type:** Full time ------------------------------------------------------ **Most Relevant Skills** Please see the requirements listed above. ------------------------------------------------------ **Other Relevant Skills** For complementary skills, please see above and/or contact the recruiter. ------------------------------------------------------ _Citi is an equal opportunity employer, and qualified candidates will receive consideration without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, status as a protected veteran, or any other characteristic protected by law._ _If you are a person with a disability and need a reasonable accommodation to use our search tools and/or apply for a career opportunity review_ _Accessibility at Citi (https://www.citigroup.com/citi/accessibility/application-accessibility.htm)_ _._ _View Citi's_ _EEO Policy Statement (https://www.citigroup.com/global/eeo-aa-policy)_ _and the_ _Know Your Rights (https://www.eeoc.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/22-088_EEOC_KnowYourRights6.12ScreenRdr.pdf)_ _poster._ Citi is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
