Senior AI Engineer - Wholesale Credit Risk Analytics - Senior Vice President

Join a pioneering team at the forefront of financial technology innovation. We are building a cutting-edge, agentic AI platform designed to revolutionize the end-to-end credit risk model development lifecycle. By leveraging the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) and intelligent workflows, we aim to augment our quantitative modelers, dramatically increasing their productivity, enhancing model governance, and accelerating the delivery of critical risk models.

We are seeking a senior, hands‑on technology leader to drive this transformation. In this role, you will partner directly with quantitative analysts and key stakeholders to shape the most impactful use cases and then lead a team of talented developers to design, build, and deploy the generative AI platform that brings this vision to life.

• Strategic Vision & Stakeholder Partnership:
  • Collaborate closely with quantitative model developers, Model Risk Management (MRM), and business leaders to deeply understand their pain points and translate them into a technical vision and product roadmap.
  • Identify, scope, and prioritize use cases for the agentic workflow platform, ensuring they deliver measurable value and align with strategic objectives.
  • Serve as the primary technical liaison between the engineering team and its users, ensuring a tight feedback loop and continuous alignment.
• Platform Design & Hands‑On Development:
  • Lead the architectural design of a scalable, robust, and secure agentic AI platform, including core components for orchestration, knowledge retrieval (e.g. RAG), and tool integration.
  • Engage in hands‑on software development to build foundational components, create proofs‑of‑concept, and tackle the most complex technical challenges.
  • Design and implement secure integrations with internal data sources, external APIs, and various LLMs, ensuring compliance with all data governance and security policies.
  • Establish the CI/CD, testing, logging, and monitoring frameworks required for a mission‑critical enterprise application.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship:
  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of software engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and collaboration.
  • Guide the team's architectural decisions, enforce best practices for code quality, and oversee the agile development process.
  • Manage project timelines, resource allocation, and delivery of key platform milestones.
