Staff AI Engineer - Platform & Agent Systems - FinTech
Excellent opportunity opens for a Staff AI Engineer to join a growing FinTech and take ownership of the architecture, governance, and operational framework behind advanced AI and agent-based systems. This is a unique opportunity to influence the technical direction of a greenfield platform where AI is being embedded as a foundational capability rather than an add-on feature. This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering, distributed systems, platform architecture, and governance.
You'll play a leading role in defining how intelligent agents are created, managed, monitored, and safely deployed within a complex enterprise environment. Working alongside senior product and engineering stakeholders, you will help establish the technical standards, tooling, and operational frameworks that enable AI capabilities to scale securely and reliably.
Main Responsibilities
- Designing the platform architecture that supports intelligent agent deployment and lifecycle management
- Establishing frameworks for agent permissions, controls, execution boundaries, and decision-making autonomy
- Building observability and evaluation mechanisms to measure performance, reliability, accuracy, and operational cost
- Driving technical decisions around AI infrastructure, orchestration, and platform capabilities
- Collaborating closely with software engineers, architects, and product teams on platform-wide design initiatives
- Implementing safeguards and governance measures suitable for regulated environments
- Ensuring AI systems remain scalable, resilient, secure, and production ready
- Contributing to the longer-term AI strategy and technical roadmap
