Senior AI Systems Lead Engineer for Regulated Environments

Ernst & Young Oman; Annapolis (MD); On-site; USD 144,000 - 329,000; Full time

Job summary

EY seeks a senior, hands‑on Distinguished Engineer to lead AI‑native systems delivery into highly regulated industries. You’ll bridge real‑world delivery, architecture enforcement, and platform feedback, ensuring rapid, safe, audit‑grade production deployments.

You’ll work with Forward Deployed Engineers and cross‑cell leaders to craft reusable patterns, technical business cases, and platform investments while partnering with governance authorities and product teams.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience delivering complex AI enterprise systems, ideally in regulated industries.
• Deep experience with distributed systems, cloud platforms, and integration‑heavy architectures.
• Hands‑on experience with modern AI‑enabled application stacks (e.g., agentic systems, orchestration frameworks, 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.
• Experience collaborating closely with architecture, product, and platform teams.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a cross‑engagement technical authority, ensuring delivery implementations adhere to architecture intent, safety, and economic constraints in regulated environments.
• Synthesize learnings from multiple delivery cells into durable reference integrations, validated implementations, and reusable patterns that reduce repeated failure modes.
• 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.
