Job description

What is the opportunity?

As Senior Full Stack Engineer in AI Engineering within US Functions Technology (Finance, Risk, Law & Audit), you will be a hands-on contributor helping modernize how US corporate functions build and run their technology. You will work on back-end services, APIs, and integrations for applications in Fraud, AML, Finance, and Risk.

A core part of the role is supporting the integration of CNB US Functions technology into RBC's enterprise platforms. You will help consolidate applications from CNB Finance and Audit technology onto the RBC common platform, working with technology teams so that business stakeholders can adopt new solutions smoothly.

You will contribute across the delivery lifecycle, from development and integration testing through to production deployment. You will work within established CI/CD pipelines and help keep applications secure, compliant, and well maintained. This includes remediating security vulnerabilities and supporting application control assessments and data attestations as they arise.

This role offers opportunities to apply AI and emerging technologies, while focusing on core reliable, well-integrated engineering and data solutions.

What will you do?

• Develop, test, and maintain back-end services, APIs, and web services for Fraud, AML, Finance, and Risk applications
• Implement integration components, including SSO, security, and messaging (Kafka or MQ), following the integration plan.
• Work primarily with .NET stack, however also leveraging Python for scripting and automation use cases
• Develop and deploy cloud-native AI/ML solutions using AWS, Azure, or GCP, ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency through Kubernetes, Docker, etc
• Work within existing CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy changes. You will not be expected to build CI/CD from scratch
• Contribute to integration testing, development, and architecture discussions for your assigned components
• Diagnose and resolve issues in development, test, and production environments, including performance and monitoring with tools such as Splunk or Elastic
• Take ownership of your work from development through production, including monitoring and support
• Document technical designs, data flows, changes, and support procedures
• Remediate security vulnerabilities and support application control assessments and data attestation
• Work with IT leadership, business stakeholders, contractors, and partner teams to deliver solutions
• Apply AI and emerging tools where they add value to your work, such as improving development productivity, and automation
• Build data pipelines and scripts to extract, transform, and validate data for fraud, AML, and finance applications.
• Analyze large datasets to support fraud detection, AML monitoring, and reporting, and identify data quality issues.
• Support machine learning/AI models by preparing datasets, running experiments, and integrating model outputs into applications

What do you need to succeed?

Must have:

• 3+ years of Software Engineering experience (with one or more of the following languages- .NET, Java, Python)
• 2+ years of Integration experience, Working knowledge of integration components, including SSO, security, and messaging (Kafka or MQ)
• Well versed with API design and consumption: Experience building and consuming APIs
