Job Description:

AI Use Case Engineering is the engineering execution layer within Marriott’s AI Technology organization. We are forward deployed AI engineers embedded with agile teams across the enterprise, turning high-priority use cases into production solutions while building a shared knowledge base of tools, patterns, and architectures that makes every subsequent delivery faster. As a Director, AI Engineering, you serve as the AI Technology Lead for agile teams within a business vertical. You lead and advise those teams, managing a unified backlog and driving use cases from discovery through production with hands-on engineering. Your portfolio includes the highest-complexity engagements: multi-system integrations, large vendor engineering teams, and architectural decisions that set precedent across the AI program. You operate across concurrent engagement modes (Build, Consult, Advise, Monitor), with AI-powered coding assistants and a shared pattern library as required infrastructure. Reports to the Senior Director, AI Engineering (Use Case).

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead and advise agile teams within your business vertical as the AI Technology Lead, operating concurrently across Build, Consult, Advise, and Monitor engagement modes
  • Design and build AI agents, multi‑agent workflows, and enterprise integrations using vendor SDKs and agent development kits (AWS, Watsonx, Writer, Copilot Studio, and others)
  • Coordinate with vendor engineering teams on joint delivery, providing architectural direction and quality oversight
  • Produce governance artifacts independently and make architectural decisions for use cases within your portfolio
  • Build comprehensive handoff packages (runbooks, monitoring, documentation) to enable long‑term ownership by business partners
  • Contribute proven patterns, SDKs, and reference architectures to the shared pattern library after each Build cycle
  • Mentor engineers and provide architectural guardrails across your portfolio

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years in AI/ML applications, enterprise integrations, or platform engineering or 6+ years of experience with a Master’s degree
  • Deep proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript, writing production‑quality code
  • Hands‑on experience with LLM application development, including agent building, prompt engineering, or AI workflow automation
  • Demonstrated technical leadership across multiple concurrent projects or teams
  • Experience designing REST API integrations in enterprise environments
  • Strong capability in producing technical and architectural documentation for review boards
  • Proficiency using AI‑powered coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) as everyday development tools
  • Experience coordinating with vendor engineering teams, systems integrators, or external technical partners

Nice to have:

  • Experience with two or more enterprise AI platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP/Vertex AI, Watsonx, Writer, Copilot Studio, or similar)
  • Hands‑on experience building production‑grade RAG pipelines, including vector stores, embedding models, chunking strategies, evaluation, and monitoring
  • Experience with multi‑agent systems or orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or vendor‑native SDKs)
  • Proven track record of building reusable engineering assets (SDKs, libraries, reference architectures) adopted by other teams
  • Familiarity with enterprise governance and compliance workflows, including architecture reviews, security reviews, and data privacy
  • Background in hospitality, travel, or large‑scale consumer services environments
What we offer:
  • 401(k) plan
  • stock purchase plan
  • discounts at Marriott properties
  • commuter benefits
