Working at Citi is far more than just a job. A career with us means joining a team of approximately 219,000 dedicated people from around the globe. At Citi, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your career, give back to your community and make a real impact.

We are seeking a results-driven Generative AI practitioner with end-to-end experience for the execution and deployment of cutting-edge Generative AI and agentic AI solutions across our enterprise-wide Controls Technology platform. In this role, you will be responsible for translating AI strategy into tangible, production-ready capabilities that enhance operational efficiencies and drive business value. We're looking for someone who combines deep technical expertise in generative AI - including context engineering, retrieval systems, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent orchestration - with a proven track record of successfully delivering complex technology projects.

This role centers on architecting and delivering solutions built on pre-trained and hosted foundation models, not on training or fine-tuning models.

• GenAI Delivery Leadership: Execute the delivery roadmap for generative and agentic AI projects, ensuring alignment with business objectives and timelines. Manage the project lifecycle from ideation and scoping to deployment and post-launch support.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of AI engineers and specialists. Foster a culture of execution, collaboration, and continuous improvement to successfully deliver on the AI roadmap.
• End-to-End Solution Delivery: Oversee the design, development, and deployment of robust, scalable, and production-ready GenAI and agentic applications. Ensure all solutions meet rigorous performance, security, and quality standards before and after deployment.
• Agentic Solution Delivery: Drive the design and delivery of agentic workflows and multi-agent systems
  , establishing standards for agent harnesses
  , orchestration patterns, and reliable long-running agent execution across the platform.
• Stakeholder & Program Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for GenAI delivery. Manage stakeholder expectations, communicate project progress, identify and mitigate risks, and ensure on-time and on-budget delivery.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate closely with Data Mesh, Cloud Architecture, MLOps/LLMOps, and business unit teams to ensure the seamless integration and operationalization of GenAI and agentic solutions into our existing technology ecosystem.
• Technical Excellence & Best Practices: Drive the adoption of best practices in software development (CI/CD), LLMOps, agent observability, and project management (Agile/Scrum) within the AI team to ensure efficient and repeatable delivery.
• Governance & Ethical Deployment: Implement and enforce robust governance and ethical AI frameworks throughout the delivery process - including guardrails, agent isolation/sandboxing, and responsible AI practices - ensuring compliance with data privacy standards and corporate policies.
