Role Purpose
We are looking for an AI Engineer to design, build, and maintain AI-powered systems across SCC. This is a broad and evolving role, the nature of the work will vary by initiative. One project may call for an AI agent that orchestrates data sources and tools; another may require a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system over internal knowledge; another may be an AI layer embedded into an existing business process or platform.


What stays consistent across all of it is the approach: working with best-in-class foundation models via API, integrating cleanly with enterprise data and systems, and building things that work reliably in production — not just in a demo.


You will work closely with the Data Science team who supply clean, structured data, and with MLOps who handle deployment and infrastructure. You will also engage directly with business stakeholders to understand problems before proposing AI solutions.


Security clearance or willingness to apply will be required for this role.
Key Responsibilities

• Design and build the appropriate AI solution for each initiative, whether that is an agent, a RAG pipeline, a document processing system, or something else
• Integrate foundation models (...
