AI Engineer

About Us

At ANZ, we're applying new ways technology and data can be harnessed as we work towards a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

Our community of over 5,000 engineers is key to making this happen, because technology underpins every part of our business - from delivering tools, apps and services for our customers, to building a bank for the future.

About The Role

ANZ is modernising its contact-centre landscape into a cloud-native, AI-enabled platform that delivers smart, seamless, and personalised customer and banker experiences across voice and messaging channels. ECC is a core enterprise transformation, building a unified, scalable, and resilient servicing platform underpinned by Amazon Connect and complementary AWS services.

As an AI Engineer, you will design and build production-grade AI capabilities on the Amazon Connect platform, enabling Customer Assist and Banker Assist experiences. You'll combine deep full-stack engineering with modern LLM practice, including prompt engineering, model evaluation, and agentic AI patterns, to deliver safe, reliable outcomes in a regulated banking environment.

This role is hands-on and end-to-end: from solution design, to implementation, to observability and operational readiness, helping build the foundations that allow ECC to scale AI safely across channels, markets, and tenants in AU, NZ, Institutional.

Role Type: Permanent

Role Location: Manyata Tech Park, Bengaluru

Work Hours: 8 AM to 5 PM

What will your day look like

• Deliver AI-enabled experiences across voice and messaging, including concierge/triage patterns for Customer Assist and real-time banker support patterns for Banker Assist.
• Contribute to capabilities such as summarisation, interaction notes, and real-time signals & guidance that improve banker efficiency, compliance, and customer outcomes.
• Support test-and-learn releases to validate AI quality, guardrails, and operational readiness ahead of scale.
• Build and operate full-stack services and UIs that integrate with Amazon Connect workflows and banker/customer tooling.
• Implement event-driven and API-based integration patterns (e.g., AWS Lambda, messaging/notifications, CRM integration) to support end-to-end journeys.
• Deliver production-quality software with strong engineering hygiene: testing, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, performance, and reliability
• Design and maintain prompt frameworks (system prompts, tool prompts, guardrails, templates, versioning) for consistent behaviour across agents and channels.
• Build and mature an evaluation framework for offline and production monitoring (quality, accuracy, safety, latency, cost), including regression packs for releases.
• Establish measurable success criteria and instrumentation (decision traces, tool selection correctness, routing accuracy, handoff quality) to enable safe iteration.
• Implement agentic patterns: orchestration agent → topic/outcome agents → controlled tools, ensuring deterministic fallbacks and safe escalation paths.
• Design and integrate tool APIs used by agents (read/write workflows, structured data capture, and human-in-the-loop escalation).
• Apply MCP (Model Context Protocol) concepts (context/tool interface design, tool contracts, permissioning, and telemetry) to build scalable, maintainable agent-tool ecosystems—especially where interim/future integration requires API/MCP-style approaches.
• Embed compliance and controls into designs: least privilege access, auditability, data minimisation, secure logging, and safe failure modes
• Partner with platform/SRE and governance stakeholders to ensure solutions are production-ready, monitored, and supportable.
• Work within cross-functional squads spanning Customer Assist and Banker Assist, collaborating with product, conversation design, data/AI, platform, and delivery leads.
• Provide technical leadership through design reviews, pairing, mentoring, and setting engineering standards across the AI build stream.
  
  

What will you bring

Excellent foundation in data structures/algorithms, system design, distributed systems concepts, and debugging complex production issues

A production engineering mindset: reliability, performance, failure modes, observability, and operational readiness.

Proven experience building and operating modern web applications and services end-to-end.

Strong capability across typical ECC stack areas such as:

• Frontend: React (or equivalent modern framework)
• Backend: Node.js, go, and/or Python; API design; event-driven patterns
• DevOps: CI/CD, automated testing, cloud-native deployment, observability
• Data: relational + NoSQL design and operational considerations
• Extensive hands-on prompt engineering experience (prompt design, versioning, testing, guardrails, and measurable iteration)
• Experience with LLM evaluation: quality, accuracy, safety/bias considerations, latency/cost trade-offs, and human-in-the-loop assessment.
• Solid understanding of agentic AI architectures (orchestrators, tool calling, controlled action spaces, decision traces, safe escalation)
• Familiarity with MCP concepts and patterns for building scalable model↔tool ecosystems (tool contracts, context handling, permissioning, telemetry).
• Ability to work across product, engineering, governance, and operations teams; communicate trade-offs and influence decisions with clarity
  
  

Desirable skills (Nice to have)

• Model fine-tuning experience (e.g., adapting smaller models, LoRA/PEFT-style approaches, or domain adaptation) and understanding when fine-tuning is appropriate vs prompt/RAG/tooling.
• Hands-on experience with Amazon Connect, contact centre workflows, or AWS-native event-driven architectures.
• Experience building robust integration patterns in regulated environments (auditability, change control, secure logging, RBAC-aligned access)
• Familiarity with quality automation approaches for contact flows and conversational journeys
