Where the posting names them
- Experience building or applying pattern-, trend-, or anomaly-detection techniques over enterprise data (statistical, ML-based, or LLM-assisted), and turning what's found into something a business user can act on. - Strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js for building extraction pipelines, agent tools, and integration code. - Working knowledge of SQL and cloud analytics engines (Athena, Redshift, or similar), sufficient to design and validate natural-language-to-SQL experiences.
What you'll be doing - Design and build the conversational AI experience end to end: Bedrock Agents (via AgentCore or MCP/API), retrieval-augmented generation over Bedrock Knowledge Bases / OpenSearch Serverless, natural-language-to-SQL over Athena, and relationship queries over a knowledge graph (Amazon Neptune / GraphRAG). - Build capabilities that continuously detect patterns, trends, and anomalies across enterprise data — surfacing what's notable proactively, rather than waiting for someone to know what question to ask.

The Role at a Glance Lincoln Financial Group is building an AI Native Intelligence platform that turns enterprise data into a conversational, agentic layer the business can query directly — and that continuously finds patterns, trends, and anomalies in that data on its own. The platform's architecture spans an AWS-native ingestion and extraction pipeline, a governed semantic layer and business knowledge graph, and an intelligence layer that answers questions in plain language and surfaces what's changing, instead of relying on static reports someone has to remember to check. We're looking for a Sr. Director, AI Native Analytics to be the hands-on builder of that conversational and analytical experience: the person who actually designs and ships the Bedrock agents, retrieval pipelines, pattern-detection logic, and natural-language-to-analytics capabilities that make the platform usable. This is an individual-contributor-heavy, deeply technical role — you'll spend most of your time in the architecture, the prompts, and the code, while partnering closely with the Senior Director on direction and with business stakeholders on what “useful” actually looks like.
- Mentor and provide technical direction to engineers contributing to the conversational AI workstream, and represent this workstream in architecture reviews led by the Senior Director. - Stay current with the fast-moving AWS AI landscape — Bedrock model and AgentCore updates, new retrieval and evaluation tooling — and bring concrete recommendations back to the team. What we’re looking for
- 8+ years of experience in Data Analytics / Business Intelligence with at least 2+ years building production LLM-based Analytics systems (not just prototypes or proofs of concept). - Hands-on, production-level expertise with the AWS AI/data stack: Amazon Bedrock (Knowledge Bases, Agents/AgentCore), AWS Lambda, Step Functions, Amazon S3, AWS Glue, and Amazon Athena; working experience with a vector store (OpenSearch Serverless or similar). - Strong, practical prompt-engineering and LLM application development skills: structured extraction, tool-calling/agentic patterns, retrieval design, and iterative evaluation against real questions.
- Build capabilities that continuously detect patterns, trends, and anomalies across enterprise data — surfacing what's notable proactively, rather than waiting for someone to know what question to ask. - Build and tune the AI extraction pipeline that turns raw unstructured data (documents, logs, notes, communications) into structured, query-ready facts — using Amazon Comprehend and/or LLM-based extraction via the Bedrock Converse API (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB for state). - Own prompt engineering and agent tool design: system instructions, tool/action-group definitions, structured-output schemas, and model selection/tiering to balance accuracy, latency, and cost.

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.
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.

The Role at a Glance
Lincoln Financial Group is building an AI Native Intelligence platform that turns enterprise data into a conversational, agentic layer the business can query directly — and that continuously finds patterns, trends, and anomalies in that data on its own. The platform's architecture spans an AWS-native ingestion and extraction pipeline, a governed semantic layer and business knowledge graph, and an intelligence layer that answers questions in plain language and surfaces what's changing, instead of relying on static reports someone has to remember to check.
We're looking for a Sr. Director, AI Native Analytics to be the hands-on builder of that conversational and analytical experience: the person who actually designs and ships the Bedrock agents, retrieval pipelines, pattern-detection logic, and natural-language-to-analytics capabilities that make the platform usable. This is an individual-contributor-heavy, deeply technical role — you'll spend most of your time in the architecture, the prompts, and the code, while partnering closely with the Senior Director on direction and with business stakeholders on what “useful” actually looks like.
What you'll be doing
- Design and build the conversational AI experience end to end: Bedrock Agents (via AgentCore or MCP/API), retrieval-augmented generation over Bedrock Knowledge Bases / OpenSearch Serverless, natural-language-to-SQL over Athena, and relationship queries over a knowledge graph (Amazon Neptune / GraphRAG).
- Build capabilities that continuously detect patterns, trends, and anomalies across enterprise data — surfacing what's notable proactively, rather than waiting for someone to know what question to ask.
- Build and tune the AI extraction pipeline that turns raw unstructured data (documents, logs, notes, communications) into structured, query-ready facts — using Amazon Comprehend and/or LLM-based extraction via the Bedrock Converse API (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB for state).
- Own prompt engineering and agent tool design: system instructions, tool/action-group definitions, structured-output schemas, and model selection/tiering to balance accuracy, latency, and cost.
- Integrate the conversational layer with the platform's semantic layer and business ontology (KPI and metrics definitions, business rules glossary) so agent answers stay consistent with how the business already measures itself — never computing an ad hoc number that disagrees with a dashboard.
- Build evaluation and quality processes for LLM-based systems: golden question sets, retrieval/accuracy scoring, hallucination and abstention testing, and regression checks before any change ships to users.
- Implement guardrails in partnership with security/compliance: PII detection and redaction, Bedrock Guardrails configuration, access-controlled data zones, and audit logging for every AI-generated answer.
- Partner directly with business stakeholders across the enterprise to translate real questions into working conversational and pattern-detection features, and iterate quickly based on usage and accuracy feedback.
- Mentor and provide technical direction to engineers contributing to the conversational AI workstream, and represent this workstream in architecture reviews led by the Senior Director.
- Stay current with the fast-moving AWS AI landscape — Bedrock model and AgentCore updates, new retrieval and evaluation tooling — and bring concrete recommendations back to the team.

- Strong, practical prompt-engineering and LLM application development skills: structured extraction, tool-calling/agentic patterns, retrieval design, and iterative evaluation against real questions.
- Solid understanding of semantic layers, business ontologies, or metrics layers, and how to ground LLM outputs in governed, consistent business definitions rather than ad hoc computation.
- Experience building or applying pattern-, trend-, or anomaly-detection techniques over enterprise data (statistical, ML-based, or LLM-assisted), and turning what's found into something a business user can act on.
- Strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js for building extraction pipelines, agent tools, and integration code.
