AI Engineer / Developer

Location: Bengaluru, India (Hybrid)

Company: National Australia Bank (NAB)

The Opportunity

• National Australia Bank (NAB) is accelerating its technological evolution by embedding autonomous, intelligent systems into the core of our enterprise. We are seeking a visionary AI Engineer to join our Bengaluru office in a collaborative, hybrid work model.
• You will be a primary technical driver in designing and building advanced Agentic AI architectures. You will lead the transition from simple prompt engineering to deterministic, multi-step autonomous workflows equipped with persistent memory and complex reasoning capabilities.
• You will be responsible for creating enterprise-ready AI solutions that prioritize security, compliance, and risk mitigation from the ground up, ensuring our AI deployments meet the rigorous standards of a global financial institution.
• This is a unique opportunity to shape the foundational design patterns, advanced retrieval systems, and AI gateways that will power NAB’s next generation of intelligent applications.

What You’ll Do

• Architect Agentic Systems

Design and build scalable, production-grade AI architectures utilizing advanced multi-agent orchestrations, ReAct (Reason + Act) strategies, and complex tool/function calling loops.

• Master Advanced Retrieval & Memory

Implement advanced retrieval strategies (such as GraphRAG and multi-hop routing) and integrate enterprise Vector Databases to ground agent decisions in persistent, long-term memory.

• Embed Security & Compliance

Architect AI solutions that are intrinsically secure. You will integrate data privacy, compliance guardrails, and secure AI Gateways directly into the system design to prevent data leakage and mitigate LLM vulnerabilities.

• Drive Observability & Evals

Build comprehensive evaluation pipelines using techniques like LLM-as-a-Judge, offline golden datasets, and tracing telemetry to ensure deterministic, safe, and auditable agent behavior in production.

• Optimize for Scale

Take ownership of the cost-to-serve and latency of multi-agent workflows through intelligent model routing, KV cache optimization, and rigorous prompt token management.

• Lead Enterprise Integration

Build highly available solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing NAB databases and APIs while mentoring junior engineers on agentic software design patterns.

• Innovate / Identify New Areas of Application of Artificial Intelligence

Identify new areas of application of AI / LLMs in secure and enterprise-grade implementation, which bring direct improvements in technology or have business impact with relevant business and technical justification and use cases.

What You’ll Bring

• Production Experience

Proven experience operating with a strong portfolio of taking complex LLM and AI solutions from concept to enterprise-scale production.

• Agentic Framework Mastery

Deep, hands-on expertise building with orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, Amazon Bedrock, and AgentCore, alongside familiarity with the broader ecosystem (e.g., CrewAI, AutoGen, or DSPy).

• Advanced Design Patterns & Protocols

Deep expertise in agentic design patterns (Reflection, ReAct) and a strong grasp of modern agent-to-agent communication standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

• Vector DB & Infrastructure Skills

Hands-on experience with Vector Databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone, Qdrant) and rigorous software engineering practices using Python, TypeScript, Java, or Go.

• Secure Architecture Expertise

A demonstrated ability to design systems with built-in compliance, data security, and risk-mitigation frameworks specifically tailored for generative AI workloads.

• Production Observability

Real-world experience managing the lifecycle of AI models in production, including tracing multi-step agent reasoning (using tools like LangSmith or OpenTelemetry) and mitigating prompt injection or hallucinations.

• Stakeholder Management

Coordinate seamlessly with product managers, business owners, and work collaboratively with a cross-geographical team and stakeholders. Translate high-level business objectives into scalable, secure AI technical strategies.

Good to Have

• Machine Learning Background

Solid foundational knowledge of traditional Machine Learning algorithms, model training pipelines, fine-tuning, and evaluation metrics.

• Financial Services Context

Previous experience building secure, scalable technology solutions within banking, fintech, or other highly regulated corporate environments.

• Cloud Infrastructure Leadership

Advanced experience with enterprise cloud environments (specifically AWS) and deploying containerized applications (Kubernetes, Docker) for AI workloads and MLOps pipelines.
