Partner with business units across divisions to understand workflows and pain points, and translate use cases into clear technical specifications
Serve as a technical resource and enablement partner for embedded AI roles within business divisions
Build and refine retrieval systems and prompt architectures that drive agent accuracy and reliability
Prototype solutions and move them from proof-of-concept to embedded, day-to-day use across the bank
Help develop and document workflows to govern and administer enterprise AI tools such as Claude, including access provisioning and usage policies
Support responsible AI practices, including data handling and permissions appropriate for a regulated banking environment

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field
1-4 years of experience in software engineering, data/ML engineering, or a related technical role
Experience working with LLM-based tools and enterprise cloud and collaboration platforms
Hands-on experience with LLM-based tools (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or similar), including prompt engineering and/or agent frameworks
Familiarity with the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, Copilot, Power Platform, or M365 admin and development tools)
Comfort working with APIs, MCPs, basic data pipelines, and integration patterns
Knowledge of AI governance, tool administration, and responsible AI considerations
Strong communication skills, including the ability to sit with a non-technical stakeholder and translate their workflow into a technical plan
Experience in regulated industries, such as financial services is preferred
