About the Role

Join our team to help deliver next-generation AI capabilities that transform how business processes are automated, optimized, and enhanced through Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior AI Engineer with hands-on experience designing, building, integrating, and deploying enterprise-scale AI applications. This role focuses on leveraging, integrating, and orchestrating existing foundation models and AI services to solve real business problems through intelligent agents, agentic workflows, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and enterprise integrations.

Unlike traditional AI research roles, this position emphasizes the integration, orchestration, and operationalization of existing AI capabilities rather than the development of foundational models.

You will partner closely with software engineers, architects, data engineers, and business stakeholders to take AI solutions from concept and prototype through production deployment. The ideal candidate combines strong Python engineering skills with practical experience developing AI-powered applications using Amazon Bedrock, AWS, Snowflake, and modern agent development frameworks.

The Information Technology group delivers secure, reliable technology solutions that enable DTCC to be the trusted infrastructure of the global capital markets. The team delivers high-quality information through activities that include development of essential, building infrastructure capabilities to meet client needs and implementing data standards and governance.

Serves as a dedicated technology resource for advancing DTCC's business opportunities and providing industry thought leadership for leveraging new technology. The goal of this new department is to partner internally with IT, our business and regulatory divisions and externally with clients, regulators, and fintech vendors, to help build new platforms and business models to advance DTCC's mission to support the financial markets.
