Risk management knowledge is highly desirable. Strong Python, SQL, and data engineering skills, with practical understanding of AI agents, context/prompt engineering, memory, evaluation, and observability.\nAbout the role\nWe are seeking a hands-on Senior AI Engineer to design, develop, and operationalize agentic AI applications for Firm Risk Management. Potential use cases include cross-risk variance analysis, credit risk lifecycle workflows, continuous news monitoring, and model risk lifecycle processes. This is a software engineering role requiring strong Python design and development skills and practical experience building AI agents with LangGraph. The successful candidate will own technical design and implementation, with particular focus on context quality, agent memory, evaluation, observability, and reliable operation in a governed enterprise environment.\nKey responsibilities:\nDesign and build modular, maintainable Python applications, APIs, and services that integrate LLMs, enterprise data, and business tools.\nDevelop LangGraph-based agent workflows with explicit state, conditional routing, tool execution, checkpointing, and human-in-the-loop approval or escalation where appropriate.\nEngineer the context supplied to agents: select and assemble relevant instructions, retrieved information, tool outputs, and conversation history within token and access-control constraints.\nDesign, version, and test prompts, including structured outputs, grounding instructions, and safe handling of incomplete or conflicting information.\nImplement appropriate short- and long-term memory strategies, including persistence, retrieval, summarization, retention, and isolation between users and sessions.\nBuild evaluation frameworks with representative datasets, repeatable regression tests, and appropriate automated and human evaluation. Assess answer quality, grounding, tool-call correctness, task completion, and failure behavior.\nImplement LLM and agent observability using Galileo or comparable platforms, including execution traces, quality signals, latency, token usage, cost, and failure analysis.\nApply guardrails for prompt injection, unsafe tool use, sensitive-data exposure, and unsupported outputs; incorporate access controls and auditable execution paths.\nCollaborate with risk specialists, product owners, data engineers, and platform teams to translate requirements into tested applications and support deployment and troubleshooting.\nContribute technical design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and engineering guidance while remaining actively involved in coding.\n Required skills and experience\nStrong hands-on Python software engineering, including application design, asynchronous programming, APIs, automated testing, error handling, and maintainable code.\nDemonstrated experience implementing AI agents with LangGraph, including stateful orchestration and integration with external tools or services-not only chatbots, framework tutorials, or conceptual designs.\nPractical understanding of LLMs, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and the tradeoffs involved in retrieval and context assembly.\nHands-on experience with context engineering, prompt engineering, and agent memory management.\nExperience designing and implementing evaluation frameworks for LLM or agent applications, including test-set construction and interpretation of evaluation results.\nExperience with Galileo or a comparable LLM/agent evaluation and observability platform, with the ability to trace failures and use findings to improve applications.\nExperience delivering and supporting deployed applications, with sound understanding of security, reliability, version control, CI/CD, and production troubleshooting.\nAbility to explain technical decisions, distinguish personal contributions from team outcomes, and collaborate effectively with business and engineering stakeholders.\nHighly desirable\nKnowledge of Model Risk Management, model development/validation lifecycles, model documentation, governance, or model monitoring.\nExperience in broader risk management, particularly credit risk, market risk, or financial-services risk workflows.\nExperience with Snowflake, Databricks, lakehouse architectures, enterprise data pipelines, or governed knowledge integration.\nFamiliarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP), cloud deployment, containers, and enterprise identity/access controls.\nPrior experience using AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Amp, with disciplined review, testing, and secure handling of code and data.\nAll your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5030,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
