Job Description:

Distinguished AI Engineer

Location: This role requires associates to be in-office 1 day per week, fostering collaboration and connectivity, while providing flexibility to support productivity and work-life balance. This approach combines structured office engagement with the autonomy of virtual work, promoting a dynamic and adaptable workplace. Ideal candidates will be able to report to our Pulse Point location in Indianapolis, IN. Alternate locations may be considered if candidates reside within a commuting distance from an office.

Please note that per our policy on hybrid/virtual work, candidates not within a reasonable commuting distance from the posting location(s) will not be considered for employment, unless an accommodation is granted as required by law.

The Distinguished AI Engineer is a highly experienced, hands-on AI individual contributor to design, build, and scale enterprise AI solutions across machine learning, generative AI, and AI agents. This role is for a senior technical expert who can directly develop production-grade AI capabilities while also influencing architecture, delivery models, and engineering practices across the organization. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strong business acumen and has a proven track record of building reusable AI services at scale. This is not a pure research or management role; we are looking for a hands-on builder who thrives in complex enterprise environments and can help modernize how AI solutions are developed and deployed. The ideal candidate can also make sound buy, build, and integrate decisions across commercial and open-source AI solutions, selecting the right approach based on business need, regulatory requirements, speed to value, and long-term maintainability.

How you will make an impact:

• Design, develop, and deploy enterprise AI solutions spanning traditional machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI systems.

• Architect and deliver scalable, resilient AI solutions leveraging technologies such as agentic systems, large language models (LLMs), distributed systems, and event-driven architectures.

• Serve as a senior hands-on contributor, technical leader, and subject matter expert across the AI development lifecycle

• Build reusable AI services, frameworks, accelerators, and reference architectures leveraged across multiple teams and use cases

• Partner with business domain SMEs, product, engineering, architecture, security, data, and business teams to translate business opportunities into scalable AI solutions

• Lead, buy, build, and integrate decisions across commercial and open-source AI solutions, balancing speed, cost, risk, security, scalability, and strategic differentiation

• Use modern AI-assisted development tooling to improve speed, quality, and efficiency of solution delivery

• Guide implementation teams through architecture, design, model selection, evaluation, deployment, and operationalization of AI solutions

• Mentor junior AI engineers and elevate the broader organization's AI engineering capabilities

• Influence technical direction across teams through expertise, credibility, and collaboration rather than formal authority

• Ensure solutions are designed for enterprise requirements including scalability, security, observability, governance, and maintainability

• Define enterprise-wide technical direction, including architecture patterns, integration standards, and reusable platform capabilities.

• Lead AI-driven modernization of legacy systems through automated code transformation, service decomposition, and continuous optimization.

• Design and implement AI-enabled software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices to improve engineering velocity and quality.

• Establish technical standards, governance frameworks, and best practices for AI systems, including monitoring, evaluation, and responsible AI.

• Partner with engineering teams and stakeholders to enable adoption of AI-assisted development and drive continuous improvement in system performance and productivity.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship while influencing enterprise technology decisions through deep expertise and hands-on engineering.

Minimum Requirements:

• Requires a bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field and a minimum of 15 years of experience in software engineering, including experience leading, designing, implementing, and operating distributed systems and large-scale architectures, or any combination of education and experience which would provide an equivalent background.

• Requires experience designing, developing, and maintaining software solutions using Python, Java, or comparable object-oriented programming languages also required, as well as experience designing and implementing APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures, and applying cloud, CI/CD, and DevOps practices.

Preferred Skills, Capabilities & Experiences:

• Subject matter expert in machine learning, GenAI, and AI agents preferred.

• Experience working in a Fortune 100 regulated company, startup, and/or top-tier technology firm preferred.

• Proven success at building and deploying reusable AI services at scalepreferred.

• Experience operationalizing AI in production with MLOps, LLMOps, observability, and governance practices preferred.
