Software Engineer /AI Engineer Are you excited about building intelligent systems powered by innovative AI technologies?Do you enjoy creating solutions that turn complex data into impactful outcomes?Embedded Innovation Teams are cross-functional squads embedded within our segments to rapidly turn internal AI experimentation into validated, reusable solutions, building the capabilities we need to deliver customer value and growth. We work problem-first rather than tool-first, directly inside segment and function teams, improving the internal workflows that help our people deliver better outcomes for customers, faster.As a Software Engineer / AI Engineer, you will build and ship AI-powered features as part of a cross-functional Innovation Squad, working inside a business function. You will deliver the set technical direction to production standard, working autonomously within a defined problem, building and testing tool use, retrieval pipelines and agent workflows, integrating AI capabilities into enterprise systems, and contributing to evaluation, observability and guardrails.You will hold a high bar on code quality, flag risks and blockers early, and work alongside host-function stakeholders to make sure what you build fits real workflows, not assumed ones. You'll also support handover and capability-building so the solution is owned and operable after the squad moves on.Build prototypes and proofs of concept and ship agentic AI solutions to production standard within a defined technical approach.Integrate AI capabilities into existing enterprise workflows and systems.Maintain high code quality and documentation so patterns can be reused.Flag technical risks and blockers early.Build solutions for reuse, contributing to patterns, reference implementations, and starter kits so work done in one function can be picked up by another.Instrument solutions to capture outcome data against baselines.Support handover and capability-building in the host function so the solution is owned and operable after the squad moves on.3+ years in software engineering, with hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications in production (RAG, tool-augmented agents or agentic workflows).Education: BS in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.Agentic AI / LLMs: Building RAG pipelines, tool-augmented agents and agentic workflows; Integrating AI into existing systems via APIs and data pipelines.Cloud: AWS, Azure, or GCP.Data: Working with relational, columnar and vector stores, grounded in sound data-modelling principles.Languages: Python, Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, SQL and relevant AI SDKs.Measurement: Instrumenting solutions to capture usage, productivity, and quality metrics against established baselines.Work in a way that works for youWe promote a healthy work/life balance across the organization.
