Who We Look For

We are seeking a Senior AI Engineering Expert with deep expertise in leveraging the latest and greatest AI tooling to drive developing solutions on the Java/JVM based ecosystem. You will be responsible for architecting and implementing production-grade AI solutions that integrate directly into our existing Java-based microservices. Your primary focus will be on building scalable, type-safe, and observable AI "Agentic" workflows that automate collateral management, risk monitoring, and advisor support.

How You Will Fulfill Your Potential

• System Integration: Architect and implement end-to-end AI pipelines (RAG, Agentic workflows) that integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise APIs, legacy databases, and microservices.

• Evaluation & Governance: Establish robust evaluation frameworks to measure model accuracy, mitigate hallucinations, and ensure compliance with enterprise security and privacy standards.


• Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with tech leads, security leads, and software teams to identify high-impact AI use cases and define technical roadmaps.


• Continuous Innovation: Stay at the forefront of Generative AI, multimodal models, and autonomous agents, recommending strategic pivots as the technology evolves.


• Enterprise RAG Pipelines: Build robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using Java-based ETL pipelines to ingest and index unstructured custodial data (e.g., legal agreements, market news) into vector databases.


• Performance & Observability: Leverage Spring Boot Actuator and Micrometer to monitor LLM latency, token usage, and model drift within our standard enterprise monitoring stack.


• Regulatory Compliance (Audit-by-Design): Implement "Human-in-the-Loop" (HITL) patterns and structured logging to ensure all AI-driven lending decisions are explainable and compliant with 2026 SEC/FINRA standards.


• System Modernization: Lead the transition of traditional batch-oriented Java processes to real-time, event-driven AI architectures using AWS MSK and similar tools.

Required Technical Skills

• Core Java: Expert-level proficiency in Java 21+ (utilizing Virtual Threads/Project Loom for high-concurrency AI inference).


• AI Frameworks: Hands-on experience with leading AI frameworks / tools.


• Enterprise Stack: Deep experience with Spring Boot 3.x, JPA, Sybase, and Maven/Gradle.


• Data & Search: Proficiency in SQL and integration with enterprise vector stores (e.g., Milvus, Weaviate, or Pinecone) via Java clients.


• Messaging & Integration: Experience with Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ for orchestrating asynchronous AI agent tasks.

Qualifications

• Experience: 6+ years in Java software engineering, with at least 3 years focused on AI/ML integration in production.
