Entity: TechnologyJob Family Group: IT&S GroupJob Description:Job DescriptionJoin bp as Senior AI Engineer!About role itself:We’re looking for engineers who think holistically, automate relentlessly, and are proficient in the fast paced world of AI tooling and infrastructure—but grounded in focused engineering principles. Our AI Acceleration organization is building high-impact AI-powered applications that deliver real business value at speed. As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll play a meaningful role in building and deploying scalable AI-powered applications through shown software engineering completion combined with pragmatic use of modern AI capabilities. This is a role for top-tier engineers who are excited about applying AI in practical and scalable ways.We’re looking for individuals who thrive at the intersection of strict software development and modern AI applications. You should be comfortable working across the full lifecycle of a product—from ideation and architecture to deployment and automation—while navigating ambiguity and driving toward execution. Strong systems thinking, ownership attitude, and the ability to ship value fast are essential.Job Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain production-grade AI applications and services using modern software engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, observability, cloud-native design).
  • Define and implement foundational platforms and tools (e.g., conversational bots, AI-powered search, unstructured data processing, GenBI) that are reusable and scalable across the enterprise.
  • Participate in cross functional team initiatives—embedded projects with business stakeholders—to rapidly build and deploy AI solutions that tackle high-priority business problems.
  • Evaluate and integrate existing AI tools, frameworks, and APIs (e.g., LLMs, vector DBs, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents) into robust applications.
  • Champion automation in workflows—from data management ingestion and preprocessing to evaluation, to model integration and deployment.
  • Collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and other engineers to ensure end-to-end delivery and reliability of AI products.
  • Stay current with emerging AI technologies, but prioritize practical application and delivery over experimental research.
  • Chip in to the internal knowledge base, tooling libraries, and documentation to scale AI engineering standard methodologies across the organization.

  • Strong programming skills in Python (preferred), Java, or similar languages, with experience in developing microservices, APIs, and backend systems.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to balance engineering rigor with delivery speed.
  • Confirmed understanding of software architecture, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and modern DevOps practices.
  • Experience integrating machine learning models into production systems (e.g., LLMs via APIs, fine-tuning, RAG patterns, embeddings, agents and crew of agents etc.).
  • Ability to move quickly while maintaining code quality, test coverage, and operational excellence .
Desirable Criteria:
  • Familiarity with AI/ML tools such as LangChain, Haystack, Hugging Face, Weaviate, or similar ecosystems.
  • Hands-on experience with Retrieval Augmented Generation applications, AI agents and systems built around them.
  • Experience using GenAI frameworks such as LlamaIndex, Crew AI, AutoGen, or similar agentic/LLM orchestration toolkits.
  • Exposure to working with unstructured data (documents, conversations, images) and transforming it into usable structured formats.
  • Experience building chatbots, search systems, or generative AI interfaces.
  • Background in working within platform engineering or internal developer tools teams.
  • Prior experience working in an embedded (forward-deployed) team model with business stakeholders.
  • Experience building production grade, reliable AI applications
