(e.g.,LangChain,LangGraph, or equivalent)\n\nStrong programming or scripting skills. (Python, Java, or similar)\n\nExperience working with APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-based architectures.\n\nProven ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues across multiple systems.\n\nStrong client-facing communication skills with the ability to translate AI capability into business value.\n\nExperience leading technical delivery across multiple projects or enterprise environments.\n\nKnowledge of security, data privacy, and compliance considerations for AI systems.\n\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or skills-based equivalent.\n\nBonus if you have\nExperience in financial services, fintech, payments, or banking platforms.\n\nExperience withMLOps/LLMOps, evaluation frameworks, and observability tooling.\n\nFamiliarity with DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation.\n\nExperience with containerization or orchestration technologies.\n\nPrior consulting, forward-deployed, or solutions-engineering experience in AI delivery.\n\nWhat we offer you\nA competitive salary and benefits.\n\nVaried and challenging work to help you grow your technical skillset.\n\nA multifaceted job with a high degree of responsibility and a broad spectrum of opportunities.\n\nA modern, international work environment and a dedicated and motivated team.\n\nPrivacy Statement\nFIS is committed to protecting the privacy and security of all personal information that we process in order to provide services to our clients.
