Job Description

Seeking a Staff level AI Engineer to roadmap, design, build, and operationalize scalable, secure, and responsible Generative AI solutions across the affiliate line of business. In this role, you will work across AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI, serverless compute, event driven architectures, vector search, and agentic frameworks to deliver AI systems that accelerate business outcomes and improve experiences for our members, providers, and colleagues.
This role blends hands-on engineering with architecture, platform leadership, and cross functional collaboration in a HIPAA regulated environment.

AI & Cloud Engineering
• Design, build, and deploy production-grade LLM and GenAI applications using the full breadth of AWS Bedrock and GCP Vertex AI capabilities (models, tuning, pipelines, vector search, guardrails, evaluation).
• Build cloud-native AI systems using:
• Serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge; Cloud Functions, Cloud Run)
• Event-driven architectures (SNS/SQS, Pub/Sub, EventBridge, triggers)
• Microservices and APIs (Node.js, Java, Python)

Agentic Frameworks & Automation
• Architect agentic AI systems using Bedrock Agents, Vertex AI Agent Builder, or approved frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex Agents).
• Deliver multi-step reasoning, tool-use, and workflow orchestration for enterprise use cases.

RAG Architectures
• Develop robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using Bedrock Knowledge Bases, Vertex AI Vector Search, or custom vector databases (OpenSearch, Pinecone, FAISS, pgvector).
• Design document ingestion, embedding, chunking, grounding, and retrieval pipelines that integrate securely with enterprise data.

Responsible AI & Compliance
• Ensure all solutions meet CVS Health’s Responsible AI standards, including model documentation, governance, risk assessment, and auditability.
• Design systems that adhere to HIPAA, data privacy, and security requirements.

Collaboration & Technical Leadership
• Partner with product, engineering, data, security, and compliance teams to shape roadmaps and solution direction.
• Mentor engineers and contribute reusable patterns, frameworks, and platform accelerators.
