- Strong programming skills in Python (preferred) and/or Go, with proven ability to build both prototypes and production applications.
- Solid understanding of data engineering principles, including ETL pipelines, structured/unstructured data management, and vector databases.
- Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face.
- Proficiency in deploying AI-enabled applications using cloud platforms and containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift).
- Experience developing agentic AI applications and integrating multi-step reasoning into enterprise workflows.
- Strong grounding in data science techniques, including experimentation, model evaluation, and applied statistical methods.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop Generative AI applications, including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.
- Collaborate with data owners to build data pipelines, feature engineering processes, and context enrichment strategies that optimize AI-enabled solutions.
- Prototype and deliver production-ready tools leveraging LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks.
- Translate business and operational challenges into AI-first solutions with a product mindset, ensuring they deliver measurable improvements in system reliability, incident response, and user experience.
- Ensure production-ready deployments include appropriate logging, monitoring, and runbooks, maintaining operational excellence alongside innovation.
- Partner with multiple teams across the enterprise to identify, prioritize, and deliver product-driven GenAI opportunities that improve platforms, tooling, and processes.
Other
- Demonstrated passion for Generative AI and its application to real-world business problems.
- Familiarity with APIs, microservices, and web technologies (React, NodeJS, SQL) to deliver end-to-end solutions.
- 3–5 years of relevant work experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.
- Employment eligibility to work with American Express in the U.S. is required as the company will not pursue visa sponsorship for these positions.
