Job summary

EY seeks a senior Distinguished Engineer to lead the delivery of AI-native systems in regulated industries, blending delivery leadership with architectural discipline and audit-grade rigor.

You will partner with Product Engineering, Product Architecture, and governance authorities to translate field realities into durable, reusable enterprise patterns that scale across client engagements.

Qualifications

• 10+ years delivering complex AI enterprise systems in regulated industries.
• Experience with distributed systems, cloud platforms, integration-heavy architectures.
• Hands-on with AI-enabled application stacks (agentic systems, orchestration, LLM-backed services).
• Proven ability to operate in forward-deployed or customer-facing engineering roles, owning outcomes under real-world constraints.
• Track record of creating reusable technical patterns or platforms that scale beyond a single engagement.

• Work with AI agents to support regulated safe-to-ship decisions by contributing technical evidence and validation inputs.
• Operate as a player-coach, contributing directly to complex system design and implementation while guiding delivery teams toward consistent, repeatable approaches.
• Own the consolidation, prioritization, and communication of cross-cell product signals, converting field observations and client-specific adaptations into evidence-based recommendations, distinguishing them from isolated customer requests.
• Partner with Product Engineering and Product Architecture to package consolidated client patterns into technical business cases, backlog candidates, and platform investment recommendations.
• Participate in shaping sessions, architecture reviews, and prioritization discussions, advocating changes that improve portability, operability, and customer outcomes.
