AI Solutions Engineer

At Vantage Bank, we're driven by a deep commitment to supporting our customers, valuing our employees, embracing diversity, fostering meaningful connections, and providing outstanding service every step of the way.

JOB SUMMARY: The AI Solutions Engineer designs, builds and supports production AI systems. Their duties include agentic workflows, retrieval pipelines, tool calling integrations, and the evaluation frameworks that demonstrate correct behavior. The AI Solutions Engineer receives a scoped problem and a defined outcome, determines the technical approach, and delivers a working solution, raising design options and risks early rather than working from detailed implementation instruction.

They independently determine technical approaches, proactively identify risks and design options, and provide technical leadership to support Vantage Bank's AI strategy, governance, and responsible adoption of AI technologies.

ESSENTIAL DUTIESThe duties listed below may not include all responsibilities that the person in this role may be asked to perform. Incumbent may be required to perform other related duties as assigned.

Designs and builds agentic AI workflows. These are multi step, tool calling systems with controlled state transitions, enforced boundaries on what the system can do, defined human review points, and step level logging sufficient to reconstruct any decision after the fact.

Builds and tunes retrieval augmented generation pipelines over bank documents and governed data, covering chunking strategy, embedding model selection, hybrid and semantic retrieval, re-ranking, and evaluates retrieval quality separately from answer quality.

Integrates AI systems with bank data, applications and services through tool calling interfaces and Model Context Protocol servers and clients, under least privilege access, with auditable call logs and a read only default for anything that could write.

Builds and operates the evaluation tooling that proves these systems work, including benchmark question sets with expected answers, hallucination and grounding checks, access boundary tests run from the requesting user's identity, regression suites across prompt and model versions, and model graded scoring calibrated against human labels.

Builds and maintains evaluation harnesses alongside other engineers doing this work, both for this role's own solutions and for shared harnesses that teams across the bank rely on, keeping them current as prompts, models and requirements change.

Deploys, monitors, and supports AI services in production, covering prompt and model versioning, approval routing for higher risk use cases, drift and quality monitoring, usage and cost visibility, alerting, and incident response with root cause follow through.

Produces the documentation that makes an AI solution defensible in a regulated bank, including solution logic, prompt instructions, verified queries, test cases and results, governance assumptions, known limitations, and plain language guidance on safe use for the business teams who will rely on it.

Builds every solution in accordance with Vantage Bank's AI strategy, policies and guidelines rather than around them, and brings the engineering perspective to governance questions on assigned use cases.

Stand up lightweight internal applications such as Databricks Apps or Streamlit to put a capability directly in front of a branch, lending or operations team.

Builds AI enrichment pipelines using SQL AI Functions or equivalent for summarization, classification and structured extraction, and validates the generated fields before anything downstream consumes them.

Supports governed natural language analytics on Genie Spaces, including semantic definitions, verified SQL examples and Unity Catalog metadata, where an agentic solution depends on them.

Other duties as assigned.
