Your Team's Impact AI Foundry - BU Deployed Engineer Role Overview

The AI Foundry Forward Deployed SBU Engineer serves as the bridge between AI platform capabilities and real-world financial workflows. This role combines deep domain expertise in capital markets with strong AI engineering skills to rapidly design, prototype, deploy, and scale AI-native solutions for specific business units and strategic client opportunities.

Develop reusable patterns that can transition from custom solutions into scalable platform capabilities.

AI Solution Development: Build agentic workflows using Foundry platforms, APIs, MCPs, evaluation frameworks, and agent infrastructure. Design prompt, tool, memory, and workflow architectures. Create deterministic, auditable workflows suitable for institutional financial clients. Leverage evaluation frameworks to improve quality, repeatability, and trustworthiness.
