AI Automation Engineer Associate

JPMorganChase; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 4,000,000 - 7,000,000; Full time

Job summary

JPMorganChase in Bengaluru is seeking a Senior Associate in Operations Automation to design, build, deploy, and operate production-grade AI assistants that automate high-volume knowledge work. You will focus on intelligent document processing, transforming unstructured inputs into structured, validated data for downstream systems.

You will define success metrics, embed Responsible AI controls, troubleshoot across the full solution stack, and write secure, well-tested code.

Qualifications

• Demonstrate at least 5 years of hands-on experience in applied AI, machine learning, or AI-powered automation, including delivery of production or production-like solutions.
• Strong proficiency in Python, including asynchronous programming, to build clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
• Apply Large Language Model techniques, including prompt engineering, structured or JSON-schema outputs, and robustness methods for real-world tasks.
• Use LangGraph or an equivalent graph-based orchestration framework to build multi-step AI workflows.
• Define and validate schemas using Pydantic and perform data processing using pandas.
• Implement Optical Character Recognition and document digitization workflows, including PDF text extraction, OCR tools such as AWS Textract or equivalent, post-OCR cleanup, validation, and exception handling.
• Integrate external tools and services via application programming interfaces, including tool-using assistant patterns with strong validation and error handling.
• Follow core software engineering practices, including automated testing, continuous integration and continuous delivery, secure development, and production readiness (logging, metrics, tracing, runbooks, incident response participation).
• Use Git and a hosted repository platform to manage branching, pull requests, and code review workflows.
• Define objective success metrics and evaluate solution quality with clear problem framing and effective communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Analyze adoption and performance drivers (such as accuracy and override patterns) using structured root-cause analysis and measurable remediation.

Responsibilities

• Design production-grade AI assistants that combine language models, multimodal models, business rules, retrieval, and tool integrations to automate operational workflows.
• Engineer multi-stage workflows using directed-graph or graph-based orchestration patterns, including ingestion, model execution, tool invocation, validation, and post-processing.
• Apply fit-for-purpose techniques across structured model outputs, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic patterns, and multimodal document processing.
• Define output schemas (for example, Pydantic), prompts, deterministic post-processing rules, validation logic, and exception handling aligned to domain needs.
• Build document digitization and OCR pipelines, including PDF text extraction, OCR processing, normalization, and handling of noisy or low-quality scans.
• Establish success metrics and improve accuracy and reliability through offline evaluation (golden datasets, regression tests, error analysis) and production monitoring (quality, drift, latency, cost).
• Write secure, maintainable, well-tested production code and develop reusable components that can be leveraged across use cases.
• Troubleshoot production issues across model, retrieval, tool-integration, and post-processing layers, driving root-cause analysis and preventative fixes.
• Embed Responsible AI practices, guardrails, and governance controls into delivery and operations to support auditability, traceability, and well-controlled execution.
• Produce recurring health views and reporting for key performance indicators such as adoption, accuracy, and override or exception rates to support stakeholders.
• Facilitate requirements elicitation with operations users through workshops, process walkthroughs, and shadowing, translating needs into requirements, controls, and acceptance criteria.
