• Build reliable RAG and multi-agent architectures with vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, OpenSearch)
• Drive model governance, including versioning, access control, audit trails, and risk reviews aligned with LPL's compliance standards
• Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in industry and technology solutions, bringing insights to the team for continuous development of the stack, solutions and ways of working
• Partner with product and business stakeholders to identify and deliver high-impact AI opportunities across advisor experiences and enterprise automation
• Mentor engineers, set best practices, and guide the adoption of LLMOps and model observability
• Collaborate with cybersecurity, risk, and data governance teams to ensure responsible model usage and policy alignment

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science or a related field (years of experience may apply to cover this requirement)
• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years leading ML/AI initiatives
• Strong experience building/managing agentic solutions, with solid understanding of agent orchestration, tool use, and guardrails for autonomous systems
• Strong experience building/managing Knowledge Graphs (entity extraction, linkage, ontology design)
• Experience integrating Knowledge Graphs with AI systems for retrieval, reasoning, and agent context (enriching with LLM)
• Proven expertise deploying ML and LLM solutions on AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock, ECS, Lambda)
• Deep knowledge of open-source ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers)
• Strong experience with MLOps and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes)

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Azure AI, Vertex AI, or multi-cloud deployments
