Job Title
Principal, AI Engineer
About your role:
As a Principal AI Engineer, you will design and deliver advanced generative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that support scalable, production-ready intelligent applications across the enterprise. You will work with engineering, architecture, and product teams to build multi-agent systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and cloud-native AI services that enable innovation and operational efficiency. Your work will help strengthen AI platform capabilities, improve solution reliability, and accelerate enterprise adoption of next-generation intelligent systems.
What you'll do:
- Design and implement generative AI solutions using large language model orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or similar technologies.
- Build and optimize multi-agent systems that coordinate intelligent task execution, reasoning, and workflow orchestration across enterprise applications.
- Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines using embeddings, vector stores such as Weaviate, and data retrieval strategies that improve relevance and response quality.
- Build backend services and application interfaces using Python, FastAPI, Java, Spring Boot, or similar technologies to support scalable AI-driven applications.
- Design and support cloud-native AI solutions across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including serverless and containerized deployment patterns.
- Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to integrate AI applications with data services, messaging systems, caching layers, and enterprise platforms such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, Apache Ignite, RabbitMQ, or similar technologies.
- Drive engineering best practices for observability, scalability, security, reliability, and operational readiness across AI and machine learning services.
- Provide technical leadership in solution design, architectural reviews, and implementation patterns that advance enterprise AI engineering standards.
- Evaluate and improve performance of AI applications through efficient use of data processing tools such as Apache Spark, Pandas, and related analytics or pipeline technologies.
- Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.
Experience you'll need to have:
- 13+ years of experience in software engineering, AI engineering, machine learning engineering, or related technical disciplines supporting enterprise-scale applications.
- 13+ years of experience developing production services using Python, Java, Spring Boot, FastAPI, or similar backend engineering frameworks.
- Experience with generative AI, multi-agent systems, large language model orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines using tools such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks.
- Experience with vector databases or semantic retrieval platforms such as Weaviate and with data integration patterns supporting AI application development.
- Experience deploying and operating cloud-native applications across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, or serverless architectures.
- Experience working with relational and distributed data platforms such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, Apache Ignite, ElastiCache, RabbitMQ, Apache Spark, or similar technologies in scalable environments.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, or related field or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.
Experience that would be great to have:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Engineering, or related field.
- Experience leading architecture and design decisions for enterprise AI platforms or intelligent application ecosystems.
- Experience in financial services, payments, or regulated technology environments.
- Experience with observability, evaluation, and governance practices for generative AI applications in production.
How you'll work:
- This role is on-site Monday through Friday. Fiserv considers in-person collaboration to be an essential part of this role as in-person office experiences help you with your overall onboarding experience and leads to stronger productivity.
