Large employers often post one title for several teams, so these can be separate openings.

Demand for AI Engineer roles

New AI Engineer postings at the employers we follow are up 134% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.

Weekly new AI Engineer postings at the same employers, from the week of August 17 to the week of November 2. The fewest in a week was 7, the most 65, and the latest week had 65.

Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.

Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.

About the role

We file this job under AI Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

AI engineers build products on top of AI models that already exist, most often large language models: they connect a model to a company's data and tools and ship the assistants, agents and search features people use.

Postings ask for strong Python or TypeScript, experience with model APIs, retrieval and agent frameworks, and ways to test whether the model's answers are good enough.

An ML engineer trains and serves models; an AI engineer usually starts from a model someone else trained and builds the product around it, though titles often mix the two.

Senior Vice President AI/ML Software Engineer

At BNY, our culture allows us to run our company better and enables employees’ growth and success. As a leading global financial services company at the heart of the global financial system, we influence nearly 20% of the world’s investible assets. Every day, our teams harness cutting-edge AI and breakthrough technologies to collaborate with clients, driving transformative solutions that redefine industries and uplift communities worldwide.

Recognized as a top destination for innovators and champions of inclusion, BNY is where bold ideas meet advanced technology and exceptional talent. Together, we power the future of finance – and this is what #LifeAtBNY is all about. Join us and be part of something extraordinary.

We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President AI/ML Software Engineer  to lead the architecture and delivery of production-grade AI systems built on agentic frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and LLM orchestration. This is a hands-on technical leadership role responsible for a team of engineers building autonomous AI pipelines that extract, validate, and reason over complex unstructured documents. You will own the technical vision for a multi-agent ecosystem -- designing pipeline orchestration engines, embedding/vectorization strategies, knowledge retrieval systems, and AI-assisted code generation tooling. You will lead a VP-level engineer and a broader team of 4-8 developers. This role is in New York, NY

What Sets This Role Apart - You build the agent framework, not just configure one -- custom orchestration engine, not a LangChain wrapper - Production AI with real consequences -- extraction accuracy directly impacts financial operations - Full RAG ownership -- from raw OCR bytes through embedding, retrieval, and generation - Evaluation-driven culture -- golden-truth datasets, automated regression, measurable quality gates - Greenfield AI + enterprise integration -- build new AI-native systems that plug into established platforms

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to impact on our organization in the following ways:

Technical Leadership & Architecture 

Architect agentic AI systems: multi-agent orchestration, tool-use patterns, planning/reasoning loops, and autonomous decision chains - Design and evolve RAG infrastructure -- chunking strategies, embedding pipelines, vector store selection, retrieval ranking, and context window optimization - Define vectorization strategy: embedding model selection, dimensionality trade-offs, hybrid search (dense + sparse), and re-ranking approaches - Own the AI pipeline orchestration framework -- blocks, inlets/outlets, blackboards, memory stores, and content policy enforcement - Make build-vs-buy decisions across the AI toolchain (vector databases, agent frameworks, evaluation harnesses, model gateways) - Establish patterns for prompt engineering at scale: prompt versioning, chain-of-thought decomposition, few-shot management, and guardrails 

Agentic & RAG Systems 

Design multi-agent architectures with shared memory, blackboard patterns, and inter-agent communication protocols - Build autonomous extraction agents capable of planning, tool selection, self-correction, and validation - Implement knowledge graph construction from unstructured documents -- entity extraction, relationship mapping, and graph-based retrieval - Develop evaluation frameworks: retrieval precision/recall, extraction accuracy, agent task completion rates, and hallucination detection - Design feedback loops: human-in-the-loop correction, reinforcement from golden-truth datasets, and continuous prompt refinement 

Team Leadership 

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4-8 engineers (AI/ML, backend, full-stack) - Directly manage a VP-level AI engineer; provide technical guidance and career development - Drive architecture reviews, design sessions, and technical decision-making - Own sprint planning, technical backlog, and delivery commitments - Foster a culture of rapid experimentation balanced with production rigor

Delivery & Operations 

Own CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and environment promotion - Define observability: agent execution traces, token usage tracking, retrieval quality metrics, and pipeline telemetry - Manage schema evolution and data stores (relational + vector) - Coordinate cross-team dependencies with platform engineering, data engineering, and infrastructure
