The AI Automation Engineer is a builder and owner of the Bank's intelligent automation layer — designing agentic pipelines, multi-step AI workflows, and the prompt and evaluation frameworks that keep model outputs production-grade. This is a high-impact, execution-focused role for a forward-thinking engineer who thrives at the intersection of AI innovation and real-world delivery.

You will own conversation design and live monitoring for voice agent buildout, drive the model ops half of the Bank's Dev Ops model, and bring production-grade Python engineering depth alongside AI-specific expertise. Operating across three lifecycle domains — Loans, Deposits, and Payments — you will be a key force in shaping how AI is built and scaled at Customers Bank.

• Build and scale agentic workflows across Loans, Deposits, and Payments domains.
• Design multi-step, autonomous AI pipelines with dynamic decision-making and tool use.
• Implement human-in-the-loop (HITL) review gates and confidence scoring thresholds.
• Automate structured and semi-structured workflows including exception handling, reconciliations, and regulatory reporting.

• Develop, version, and evaluate prompts for OpenAI and Anthropic (Claude) models.
• Apply LLM-based development patterns: tool/function calling, agent frameworks (Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Auto Gen), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Build NLP-based intelligent document processing (IDP) pipelines — extraction, classification, and analysis for loan origination and deposit onboarding.
• Conduct prompt regression testing and maintain evaluation frameworks to detect output quality degradation.

• Monitor live workflow outputs, detect drift or quality degradation, and trigger rollbacks when performance thresholds break.
• Manage model and prompt version rollouts in coordination with Cloud Engineering release gates.
• Monitor automation performance, troubleshoot production incidents, and continuously optimize deployed solutions.

• Design conversation flows, voice persona prompts, and escalation routing rules for the call center voice agent.
• Monitor call containment rates, resolution quality, and escalation patterns in production.
• Apply NLP-based transcript analysis to continuously improve voice agent performance.

• Evaluate AI and automation vendors and frameworks, making informed build-vs-buy recommendations across the partner portfolio.
• Partner directly with business SMEs across all three domains to translate operational workflows into AI-executable rules.

• Write production-grade Python code with automated testing, error handling, logging, and full documentation.
• Design and promote reusable code patterns and architectural standards for enterprise-scale adoption.
• Ensure all solutions meet governance,…
