Job description

Role: AI & Platform Software Engineer

Loation - Buffalo, US, New York, New York, US

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and operate production capabilities hands-on, with documentation and evidence by default.
• Leverage GenAI capabilities in your own engineering workflow - coding assistants, agent-based automation, AI-assisted testing and debugging - to accelerate delivery, including SDLC automation opportunities.
• Work within the bank's SDLC gates, security standards, and separation-of-duties model; produce the artifacts and evidence each gate requires.
• Partner across governance, architecture, cybersecurity, and application teams; communicate clearly with technical and business audiences.
• Pair for capability transfer - FTEs with contractor counterparts, contractors with FTE track owners - so knowledge stays when engagements end.
• Participate in support rotations for live workloads with incident triage and root-cause discipline.

Must have

• Strong software engineering fundamentals: architecture, API design, integration patterns, secure coding, testing, CI/CD, and operational support.
• Hands‑on experience with GenAI models and AI‑assisted development workflows (coding assistants, prompt engineering, RAG/context engineering, or agent‑based automation).
• Hands‑on Azure experience relevant to the target track (e.g., APIM, Entra ID, Key Vault, Azure AI services including Azure AI Foundry, Azure Monitor, IaC tooling) - current stack is Azure AI Foundry + APIM, with the platform designed to extend to additional venues and tools (e.g., AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, direct provider APIs) without rework.
• Experience delivering and operating production systems in a controlled‑change environment.
• Strong communication, collaboration, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills.
