This is not a coordination or advisory role. It is a builder's role - one with the budget, the mandate, and the organizational reach to make it real.You will own the AI strategy and delivery capability across a $200M+ technology portfolio spanning some of the most operationally complex domains in banking: KYC, fraud detection, wholesale lending operations, global reconciliations, cash management, payments control, non-financial regulatory reporting, payroll, and international operations . The scale is significant, the problems are highly complex at this stage, and the impact is direct - the solutions you build will influence how trillions of dollars in transactions flow daily, how regulatory risk is managed, and how Citi's operational infrastructure evolves over the next decade.Unlike a role at a pure-play technology company, you will be solving AI challenges where failure has regulatory and systemic consequence - and where success reshapes the economics and resilience of critical global operations. The ambiguity is real, the stakes are high, and the opportunity for lasting impact is unmatched.This role reports directly to the Head of COO Technology. Responsibilities: AI Strategy & Platform Architecture: Define and own the multi-year AI strategy for the COO Technology portfolio; translate business intent into a concrete, milestone-driven execution roadmap with measurable outcomes Develop architecture blueprints and end-to-end systems design for Generative AI and agentic workflows across diverse operational domains Build the shared AI platform - reusable models, tooling, guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and accelerators - that reduces duplication, lowers cost, and enables faster adoption across COO Establish and enforce engineering standards, architectural guardrails, and development patterns across all AI initiatives Define a rigorous total cost of ownership model for developing, deploying, and sustaining AI in production Identify and evaluate emerging GenAI technologies, foundation models, and agent frameworks - and make deliberate, defensible decisions on where to build, buy, or partner Production AI Delivery at Enterprise Scale Lead end-to-end delivery of AI solutions across high-complexity, regulated operational environments - from architecture through production deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement Drive the agentic product development lifecycle: runtime harness design, evaluation frameworks, human-in-the-loop workflows, feedback loops, and production readiness criteria Manage cross-functional delivery spanning engineering, product, data, architecture, cyber, risk & compliance, and operations Proactively identify and resolve dependencies, critical path risks, and systemic delivery blockers; ensure on-time, on-budget execution Ensure all AI solutions meet production-grade standards: stability, scalability, auditability, explainability, and regulatory compliance Executive Partnership & AI Governance Serve as the senior AI executive point of contact for COO function leads - partnering directly with the Heads of Core Operations Technology, Shared Services Technology, and Controls Technology Lead AI governance forums and Architecture Review Boards; establish clear decision rights and review cadences across the portfolio Translate complex technical realities into clear, compelling narratives for senior non-technical audiences - including COO, CIO, and regulatory stakeholders Develop executive-level communications - steering committee materials, portfolio dashboards, and milestone tracking - that improve decision velocity and reduce execution risk Ensure full adherence to Citi's internal policies, risk and control frameworks, model risk management (MRM) standards, and applicable regulatory requirements Building the AI Engineering Organization Build, structure, and lead a high-performing AI engineering function aligned to COO's operational priorities - including team topology, operating model, and career pathways Foster a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and pragmatic innovation: engineers who ship production solutions, not prototypes Own and manage the AI technology portfolio budget ( $200M), driving disciplined funding allocation, financial transparency, and cost-to-serve accountability Lead productivity and efficiency programs with measurable targets across cycle time, quality, throughput, and engineering leverage Define and optimize vendor and partner strategy, including strategic AI platform partnerships (e.g., Google, Anthropic), third-party tooling, and outsourced delivery models Qualifications: 15+ years of experience in Technology - Required: Generative AI & LLM Engineering: Deep, hands-on expertise in large language models including model selection, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector database design, and evaluation methodologies.

About the company - the company's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role the company's Safeguards organization builds the systems that keep Claude safe to use at scale. The Account Compromise team owns one specific slice of that work: protecting the people and organizations who use Claude from losing control of their accounts, and preventing compromised accounts and credentials from being used to abuse our platform. Account takeover, credential stuffing, phishing-driven session theft, leaked API keys, and resold access all cause real harm - to the customers whose accounts are hijacked, and to the wider ecosystem when stolen access is used to route abusive traffic through legitimate accounts. We are looking for a staff+ engineer to set the technical direction for this work. You will own the architecture of how we detect, contain, and remediate account compromise across Claude and the Claude Developer Platform, making the design decisions that other engineers and teams build on top of. You will move between deep technical work and adversarial problem-solving: threat modelling how attackers will adapt, scoping multi-month projects from ambiguous starting points, and leading complex live investigations when they escalate. This is a hard problem space. Attackers iterate quickly, the signals separating a compromised account from an unusual but legitimate one are subtle, and every defence carries a cost to real users if it fires incorrectly. You will be building the playbook, and the judgement calls about where to draw those lines will largely be yours to make and defend. You will operate with high autonomy - owning detection coverage and incident leadership, driving alignment with Security, Product, and Policy teams, and shaping how the company approaches this problem globally rather than executing against someone else's roadmap. Key responsibilities Set the technical direction and own the architecture for account compromise detection, response, and remediation across Claude and the Claude Developer Platform Independently scope and lead complex, multi-month engineering projects from an ambiguous starting point through to production systems that operate reliably under adversarial pressure Build and evolve detection systems that identify account takeover, credential abuse, and compromised API keys in near real time Design automated response flows that cut off attacker access while minimising disruption to legitimate users Lead investigations into significant compromise incidents end to end, then convert what you learn into durable, automated defences Threat model how attackers are likely to adapt, and prioritise the team's work against that view rather than only against incidents already observed Drive cross-organisational alignment on account security direction with Security, Product, Support, Policy and other partners. Define how the team measures success and hold the work to those measures Set technical standards for the domain and raise the bar for other engineers through code review, design review, and mentorship Surface patterns from compromise cases to research and product teams so that protections improve upstream Minimum qualifications 10 + years experience designing, building, and operating detection, anti-fraud, anti-abuse, or security systems in production A track record of independently scoping and delivering complex, ambiguous, multi-month technical projects Experience making architectural decisions in an adversarial domain that other engineers and teams then build on Proficiency in Python and SQL, with strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on coding ability Experience leading investigations into account-based abuse or security incidents, and translating findings into automated detection Ability to reason rigorously about large behavioural or telemetry datasets, and to distinguish attacker behaviour from unusual but legitimate use Strong written communication and a track record of driving alignment across multiple teams and stakeholders Sound judgement about the tradeoff between stopping bad actors and disrupting legitimate users, and the ability to explain and defend where you have drawn that line Preferred qualifications Significant engineering experience in trust and safety, platform integrity, fraud, or detection and response, including time as a technical lead or mentor Deep familiarity with account attack techniques Experience with authentication and identity systems, including OAuth, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, device binding, and risk-based authentication Experience applying machine learning to fraud or abuse detection, alongside a clear sense of when simpler rules-based approaches are the better choice Experience with cloud data tooling such as BigQuery, Spark, dbt, Airflow or similar Experience building tooling for operational or investigative teams, and partnering closely with the people who use it Interest in AI safety, and in the specific ways account compromise intersects with model misuse Representative projects - Design the architecture for real-time login risk scoring, and get agreement across Security, Product, and Safeguards on where step-up authentication should and should not fire Design detection for compromised API keys, together with security controls to limit exposure Rebuild product features to regain access quickly when customers get compromised Write the threat model that sets the team's roadmap for the next year, and bring the rest of the organisation along with it Instrument a false positive review loop that measures how often the team's defences affect legitimate users, and drive that number down The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. Annual Salary: £325,000 - £390,000 GBP Logistics Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that the company recruiters only contact you email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of the company. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate the company recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links-visit the directly for confirmed position openings. How we're different - We're different We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At the company we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to the company, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute . click apply for full job details
