Job DescriptionVice president, Full-stack Engineer, AI Transformation Office (AI-Forward Software Engineer)
We9re seeking a future team member for the role of Vice president, Full-stack Engineer to join our AI Transformation Office. This role is located in New York, NY.
In this role, you9ll make an impact in the following ways:
- Design, build and ship production-grade GenAI and agentic automation solutions end-to-end - from scoping and prototyping through to deployment - applying AI-native tooling across the full workflow, including design, testing and documentation.
- Understand the business problem first, then use AI tooling to accelerate solution design rather than to replace the thinking behind it.
- Partner with Product Owners, line-of-business stakeholders and architects to design, prototype and deliver AI-powered solutions spanning automation, workflow orchestration and client-facing tooling.
- Build and contribute to AI-forward architecture standards, including prompt engineering patterns, agentic workflow design and LLM integration guidelines.

- Demonstrate teamwork. Promote a collaborative and inclusive work environment aligned with our company culture and values.
To be successful in this role, we9re seeking the following:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including demonstrable and recent use of AI-native development tools as a core part of your daily workflow rather than an occasional one.
- Daily working proficiency with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor or GitHub Copilot. This is a baseline expectation for the role rather than a differentiator.
- Strong hands-on development experience in Python and/or Java for backend service development.
- Hands-on LLM integration experience using OpenAI, Anthropic or equivalent APIs.
- Working knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP), REST APIs and microservices architecture.
- Experience designing and delivering solutions on a major cloud platform - AWS, Azure or GCP.
- Bachelor9s degree in computer science, Engineering or a related field.
- Preferred: experience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen or similar.
- Preferred: RAG pipeline design and vector database experience (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector).
- Preferred: solid understanding of Agile methodologies and SDLC tooling, including Jira, Git and CI/CD pipelines.
