Sr AI Engineer II - Enterprise Architecture

At American Express, AI is reshaping the future of commerce and redefining the experiences our commercial customers and card members expect.

Within Amex Technology, we are building platforms, products, and governance that enable agentic AI systems to operate responsibly and at scale across the enterprise.

Our focus is on agentic AI development: designing intelligent, adaptive systems that can plan, reason, and act across complex workflows with appropriate levels of autonomy.

These systems power autonomous workflows, decision support, and customer-facing experiences—while meeting the high standards for security, explainability, reliability, and compliance required in financial services.

We partner closely with product, design, and business teams to deliver agentic capabilities that reduce operational friction, improve decision-making, and transform how customers interact, transact, and grow.

The Role

As a Senior AI Engineer – Agentic AI, you will be a core builder responsible for turning complex, ambiguous problems into production-grade agentic systems that operate on real financial data, serve real customers, and meet real regulatory requirements.

You will work end to end: shaping solutions with product and design, building and shipping production code, and owning what you deliver after launch.

The scope of this role spans customer-facing LLM-powered features, agentic systems that automate financial workflows, and internal AI capabilities that enable other engineers to build with AI safely and efficiently.

This is not a research-only role.

We are looking for engineers who are comfortable operating with autonomy, exercising sound judgment, and pushing the technical envelope within the realities of a regulated financial environment.
