Job description

Our client is seeking a highly skilled Senior Full-Stack AI Engineer/Architect to lead the design, development, and implementation of enterprise AI solutions that will power the next generation of intelligent banking experiences, advanced security capabilities, and operational support systems.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives on researching emerging AI technologies, evaluating their practical business applications, and independently recommending and delivering enterprise-scale AI solutions. The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping our client's AI strategy while remaining hands-on in designing and deploying production-ready systems.

In addition to building enterprise AI platforms, this individual will collaborate closely with Product Management, Engineering, Sales, and strategic technology partners—including Microsoft and Intel—to support customer engagements through technical demonstrations, rapid proof-of-concepts (POCs), and client-specific AI pilots. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable architecting scalable AI platforms, rapidly prototyping innovative solutions, and presenting technical concepts to customers and executive stakeholders.

This is an outstanding opportunity to help define the future of AI within a global technology organization while working with cutting-edge enterprise AI technologies.

This is a hybrid role in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia.
