From the employer
At American Express, we empower technologists to learn, innovate, and make an impact from day one. As an AI Engineer I in Enterprise Technology Services, you’ll join a full-time graduate program and contribute to technology work that helps teams explore, build, test, and responsibly scale AI-enabled solutions.
In this role, you may support work across machine learning, generative AI, intelligent automation, data pipelines, retrieval patterns, model evaluation, LLM integrations, AI agents, agentic workflows, and AI-enabled software features. You’ll collaborate with engineering, product, data, security, risk, and business partners to help deliver enterprise AI solutions responsibly, reliably, and securely.
- Support the development, testing, and integration of AI / ML models, LLM integrations, intelligent services, or data retrieval pipelines under guidance.
- Assist with data collection, preprocessing, transformation, and validation to support model training, testing, evaluation, and implementation.
- Contribute to debugging and improving AI enabled solutions to strengthen performance, reliability, explainability, maintainability, and quality.
- Support AI capabilities such as model training workflows, inference endpoints, prompt-based interactions, evaluation routines, retrieval patterns, AI agents, or agentic workflows.
- Collaborate with engineering, product, data, risk, security, and business partners to implement AI-driven solutions aligned to business requirements.
- Document model parameters, prompts, assumptions, data pipelines, integrations, and technical decisions to support reproducibility and knowledge sharing.
- Participate in Agile development practices, including sprint planning, stand-ups, demos, retrospectives, code reviews, and team ceremonies.
- Assist in ensuring AI systems and AI-enabled features align with enterprise expectations for reliability, safety, governance, security, compliance, and appropriate escalation.
Minimum Qualifications
