Senior AI Full-Stack Engineer

broadviewfcu; City of Albany (NY); On-site; USD 160,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Broadview FCU is building its first dedicated AI function. We seek a senior, autonomous engineer who translates AI capability into production-grade applications for employees and members. You will own end-to-end delivery, from data access controls to model orchestration, API layers, and human-facing interfaces.

You will work closely with the VP of AI and an AI Automation & Solutions Architect on a small, high-autonomy team. Expect rapid development in a federally regulated financial setting.

Qualifications

• 7+ years building and shipping production software, incl. 2+ years AI/LLM apps.
• Full-stack depth: TS/React frontend, Python/TS backend, relational & vector stores, cloud in production.
• Hands-on fluency with LLM app patterns: prompt design, tool use, retrieval & orchestration.
• Experience in regulated environments and model risk management.
• Security knowledge: prompt injection, data exfiltration, model poisoning.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship production AI applications end to end.
• Design agentic workflows and multi-step tool-using systems.
• Create RAG pipelines across manuals, procedures, docs, and lending guidelines.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory and QA requirements; ship with tests and regression suites.
• Secure API integration through documented APIs and iPaaS layer.
• Establish governance on what graduates to production and what to discard.
• Contribute to engineering standards, reviews, testing, and secure development practices.

Job description

If you are ready to join a company that truly cares about its employees, our members, and our community then you have come to the right place!

The Opportunity

Broadview is standing up our first dedicated AI function.

You are the person who turns AI capability into products people actually use. Not pilots. Not a proof of concept. Production applications, in the hands of employees and members, securely shipped in weeks rather than quarters.

There is no legacy AI codebase to maintain and no backlog you inherit. The first thing you build will be the first thing of its kind here. You will work on a small, senior, high-autonomy team alongside the VP of Artificial Intelligence and an AI Automation & Solutions Architect.

What You Will Own

• Full-vertical delivery. Build and ship secure production AI applications end to end: assessing appropriate levels data access in partnership with policies and risk team, model orchestration, API layer, and the interface a human touches. You own the whole stack, not a slice of it. There is opportunity for this team to expand as demand necessitates.
• Agentic workflows. Design and implement multi-step, tool-using systems that retrieve, reason, act, and hand off to a person when they should. Including knowing when a deterministic workflow is the better answer than probabilistic and when to combine approaches via orchestration layers.
• Retrieval over internal knowledge. Build RAG pipelines across policy manuals, procedures, product documentation, and lending guidelines, with retrieval quality you can measure and defend rather than assert.
• Evaluation before launch. In concert with our QA teams, all systems must be put through heavy scrutiny to comply with regulatory, policy, and other frameworks ahead of promotion. Every AI feature ships with a test set, a scoring method, and a regression suite.
• Secure systems integration. Connect securely through documented APIs and our iPaaS layer.
• Guardrails as a first-class concern. Prompt injection defense, PII handling, model drift and poisoning detection, output validation, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and audit logging at level that is more than sufficient to produce artifacts for examination.
• Judgment about what graduates to production. Agentic tooling means you will produce working software fast. The senior part of this role is deciding what deserves to be hardened and what should be thrown away, further knowing when tools or talent have matured to the level where we can revisit it.
• Engineering standards for the team. Code review, testing, deployment pipelines, documentation, and secure development practices appropriate to a federally regulated financial institution.

What Success Looks Like

• First 30 days. Environment access, stack fluency, and a working prototype of the first prioritized use case.
• First 90 days. Three AI applications live in production, with the business staff using it daily through an interface that meets their needs. Evaluation and monitoring in place from day one of release to support forecasted ROI and KPIs being delivered.
• First year. A portfolio of production AI applications, a documented internal pattern library other engineers can build from, and measurable cycle-time reduction across at least three business processes.

What We Are Looking For

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems/Technology, Data Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, or Machine Learning (Artificial Intelligence).
• 7+ years building and shipping production software, including at least 2 years building AI or LLM-based applications that real users depend on.
• Genuine full-stack depth: modern TypeScript/React or equivalent on the front end, Python or TypeScript services on the back end, relational and vector data stores, and cloud deployment you have owned in production.
• Hands-on fluency with LLM application patterns: prompt design, structured output, tool use and function calling, retrieval and reranking, agentic orchestration, context management, and cost and latency optimization.
• Demonstrated LLM evaluation experience. You have built test sets, measured output quality, and caught regressions before users did.
• Working knowledge of AI-specific security: prompt injection, data exfiltration, data and model poisoning, model access control, and secrets management.
• Product instinct. You can sit with a lending processor for an hour, understand their day, and design something they will actually adopt to improve their quality of work and the overall member experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience delivering in a regulated environment (e.g., financial services, healthcare, insurance, government). Working knowledge on model risk management, third-party risk review, and audit or examination cycles.
• Integration experience with core banking, loan origination, or payments platforms.
• Professional familiarity with enterprise iPaaS (Workato, MuleSoft, Boomi), Anthropic, and AWS Bedrock.
• Fine-tuni
