Citi is looking for a Senior AI Engineer (Applications Development Technology Lead Analyst - C13) to design and deploy intelligent, autonomous AI agents that solve complex, real-world problems at the intersection of finance and cutting-edge technology. In this senior individual contributor role, you will translate research into production-grade agentic systems, working alongside AI researchers, data scientists, and engineers to embed autonomous AI capabilities into Citi's technology ecosystem. Your work will directly shape how Citi leverages AI to automate workflows, enhance decision-making, and deliver scalable solutions across the organization.
Job Responsibility
Design and build intelligent AI agents — covering perception, reasoning, planning, and action execution — that operate autonomously to solve high-impact business challenges
Architect scalable, high-performance agentic systems that meet rigorous standards for reliability, security, and production readiness
Integrate large language models (LLMs), reinforcement learning, and predictive models to expand agent capabilities and sharpen decision-making
Develop agents that automate complex workflows and optimize processes across multiple business domains, translating research concepts into robust, deployable solutions
Define and implement evaluation frameworks and performance metrics to continuously measure, optimize, and improve agent behavior
Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including AI researchers, data scientists, and product managers — to embed agentic solutions into broader products and services
Partner with engineering and architecture teams to ensure AI system designs align with Citi's overall technology strategy and standards
Produce clear, comprehensive technical documentation covering agent designs, implementations, and operational procedures
Appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, demonstrating particular consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients and assets, by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, adhering to Policy, applying sound ethical judgment regarding personal behavior, conduct and business practices, and escalating, managing and reporting control issues with transparency
Requirements
6+ years of professional software development experience, with a focus on AI, machine learning, or agent-based systems
Proficiency in Python and SQL, with the ability to build and maintain production-quality AI systems
Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, and libraries including Scikit-Learn, NumPy, and Pandas
Practical knowledge of LLMs and their application within agentic architectures, including API design and integration for AI services
Experience applying software engineering best practices: version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and code reviews
Demonstrated ability to deploy and manage applications on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) using containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
Nice to have
Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or RAG pipelines, or research experience in multi-agent reinforcement learning
Experience working in the financial services industry
Proficiency in Java as an additional programming language
What we offer
Hybrid working model — 3 days in the office and 2 days working remotely, giving you flexibility without sacrificing collaboration
Ownership of high-impact AI initiatives, with the autonomy to shape technical direction and influence how Citi adopts agentic AI at scale
Access to continuous learning and development resources, keeping you at the forefront of AI research and engineering practice
Collaboration with world-class AI researchers, data scientists, and engineers across a truly global organization
Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your financial wellbeing and long-term security
Wellbeing and family support programs that help you thrive both inside and outside of work
