AI Foundry BU Deployed Engineer

The AI Foundry Forward Deployed SBU Engineer serves as the bridge between AI platform capabilities and real-world financial workflows. This role combines deep domain expertise in capital markets with strong AI engineering skills to rapidly design, prototype, deploy, and scale AI-native solutions for specific business units and strategic client opportunities.

Unlike a traditional software engineer, this individual is expected to operate at the intersection of product, engineering, consulting, and financial workflows. They must understand how investment professionals, advisors, bankers, analysts, portfolio managers, and relationship managers work, and be capable of helping existing teams translate their applications from legacy systems to modern AI-native designs. The ideal candidate is comfortable with tackling large open-ended problems, designing agent workflows with product teams, integrating APIs and MCPs with engineers, and demonstrating solutions directly to clients.
