Overview

We are seeking a high-impact Senior AI Developer who combines hands-on GenAI development expertise with deep curiosity and a strong focus on business outcomes. This role centers on building and evolving Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications that integrate knowledge from documents, databases, and services to solve real problems across the enterprise.

Success in this role requires close engagement with business partners to extract and shape problems, the ability to mentor and elevate junior developers through shared practices and design patterns, and a strong sense of ownership from prototype through to production. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, delivers with intent, and believes GenAI can change how people work.

We view the advancement of AI as critical to enhancing employee experience, improving productivity, and driving business growth across the enterprise.
