AI and Data Science Engineer III

Position Summary

Our Deloitte Human Capital team transforms technology platforms, drives innovation, and helps make a significant impact on our clients' success. We are hiring an AI Engineer to build and operate the data, features, and GenAI foundations that power Human Capital AI products and analytics. You will work with an AI Data Engineer (data ingestion, curation, governance, platform foundations) and a Lead AI Solutions Architect (end-to-end solution architecture, integration patterns, non-functional requirements), partnering closely with product, data science/ML, security, and platform engineering to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable AI solutions.

This role is hands-on and delivery-oriented: you will ship production pipelines and services that support model training, real-time inference, and LLM applications using Claude-, GPT/Codex-, and Gemini-class models, and more implemented with strong governance, observability, and cost/performance discipline.

Recruiting for this role ends on 08/30/2026.

Work you'll do

As an AI and Data Science Engineer on the HC Forward team, you will be responsible for building and operating the governed data, feature, and retrieval foundations that support artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative artificial intelligence solutions.

• Build and operationalize large language model-enabled capabilities, including copilots, knowledge assistants, summarization, and policy question-and-answer solutions using secure endpoints, tool calling, and reusable prompt and context patterns
• Implement retrieval-augmented generation patterns, including document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector or hybrid search, and retrieval and evaluation telemetry
• Deliver governed datasets and feature engineering and serving patterns for machine learning training and real-time inference, including online and offline consistency, caching, latency targets, and backfills
• Implement privacy, access, quality, lineage, monitoring, observability, testing, deployment, and incident response practices for production artificial intelligence and data solutions

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to lead projects or workstreams

• 4+ years of experience implementing retrieval-augmented generation, document processing, embeddings, and vector or hybrid search in enterprise environments
• 4+ years of experience in data engineering, including data modeling, batch or streaming pipelines, structured and unstructured data processing, and feature engineering
• 4+ years of experience building production inference services and enterprise integrations using application programming interfaces, Representational State Transfer (REST), GraphQL, event-driven patterns, continuous integration and continuous deployment, infrastructure as code, Docker, Kubernetes, and monitoring tools
• Ability to travel 0-25%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve.
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available.

Preferred:

• Master's degree or doctorate in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, or a similar field
• Cloud or artificial intelligence or machine learning certification
• 4+ years of experience with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, Salesforce, or human resources data domains
• 4+ years of experience operationalizing machine learning operations or large language model operations, including evaluation, monitoring, governance workflows, and model or prompt version management
• 4+ years of experience using Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform for data platforms and scalable compute
• 4+ years of experience translating business requirements into acceptance criteria and release increments

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.
