About the role:
We are seeking an AI/ML Engineer to join BPM’s Enterprise Technology Solutions team. This role is for a builder — someone who doesn’t just experiment with AI but makes it work inside the firm at scale. You’ll take AI tools and models and embed them into BPM’s day-to-day operations, ensuring they deliver real business value.
In this role, you’ll design and develop AI-powered applications — from chatbots and copilots to workflow automations — that streamline processes across Tax, Assurance, Advisory, and our Corporate Services Team. You’ll partner with teams to spot opportunities where AI can cut manual effort, increase accuracy, and speed up delivery, then turn those opportunities into working solutions.
At BPM, this isn’t about chasing hype — it’s about applying AI where it matters most and seeing your work make an immediate impact. You’ll be part of standing up a brand-new AI-focused development team, not only building solutions but also shaping the team’s processes, tools, and standards. This is a chance to learn new technologies, push technical boundaries, and set the foundation for how AI gets delivered across the firm. Success in this role means turning ideas into reliable solutions colleagues can depend on — helping BPM move faster, work smarter, and stay ahead in a rapidly changing industry.
Key Responsibilities:
Model Development: Design and evaluate AI/ML models tailored to BPM use cases (e.g., tax AI bot, Copilot extensions).
Data Engineering: Prepare and manage structured and unstructured datasets, ensuring quality inputs for training and evaluation.

Automation: Deliver automation solutions that streamline operations and reduce manual effort for Tax, Assurance, and Advisory practices.
Collaboration: Work closely with IT, business stakeholders, and data governance teams to identify use cases and ensure solutions align with firm goals.
Experimentation & Innovation: Rapidly prototype AI solutions, test emerging tools, and recommend best practices for adoption.
