Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, test, and deploy AI-powered solutions for our banking products.
Work directly with customers to understand business needs and translate requirements into practical AI solutions.
Drive customer discussions, workshops, demonstrations, and solution reviews throughout the project lifecycle.
Coordinate a small team of AI engineers and support the planning and execution of development activities.
Ensure successful delivery of AI initiatives by aligning customer expectations, delivery progress, and product capabilities.

Benefits:
You will have the opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry on an incredibly ambitious project to shape the ever-evolving financial sector.
