Sr AI Solutions Specialist - Architecture Foundry

CME Group is seeking a Sr AI Solutions Specialist to join our revolutionary Architecture Foundry within the Central Hub. Sitting inside our innovative, cross-functional "Architecture-as-a-Product" pod, you will partner directly with Enterprise Architects and Cloud Platform Engineers to turn visionary architectural concepts into living, breathing AI-powered solutions.

In this role, you will be the premier Force Multiplier for our applied architecture epics. Rather than building isolated machine learning models or setting abstract governance rules, you will take robust security patterns, landing zones, and infrastructure blueprints designed by the central hub and engineer them into reusable application-level templates, multi-agent systems, and production-ready code blocks. By building these "Paved Paths," you will empower delivery teams across CME Group to rapidly adopt and scale secure GenAI capabilities without manual governance friction.

What You’ll Do

• Build Reusable AI Assets: Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade software templates, reusable SDKs, and modular microservices that wrap GenAI capabilities (e.g., prompt management, retrieval-augmented generation [RAG], embeddings) into standard developer tools.
• Architect AI Agents: Design and deploy robust multi-agent systems and agentic architectures capable of planning, reasoning, memory retention, tool usage, and execution across complex enterprise APIs.
• Steer Coding Agents: Establish centralized pattern repositories to guide and steer CLI coding agents (e.g., Antigravity) across engineering pods, ensuring architectural alignment automatically.
• Translate Architecture into Code: Partner with Enterprise Architects to implement strategic design patterns, turning abstract standards into functional AI-native codebases and visual design specs.
• Democratize AI Best Practices: Package code into clear, well-documented starter kits and boilerplates, making it simple for delivery teams to integrate advanced AI seamlessly.
• Provide Collaborative Support: Embed briefly with engineering pods to troubleshoot complex API/LLM integration issues, monitor agent feedback loops, and ensure coding agents adhere to established patterns.

What You’ll Bring

• Professional Background: 6+ years of progressive, hands-on software engineering experience building production-grade, highly reusable, and modular code libraries, combined with 3+ years of dedicated experience developing applied Artificial Intelligence solutions.
• Software Engineering Core: Deep proficiency in Python (the industry standard for AI enablement) alongside experience in enterprise languages (e.g., Java, C++, or Node.js).
• Agentic Frameworks & Orchestration: Proven experience building agentic workflows, steering CLI coding agents, and developing multi-agent orchestration systems using frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Vertex AI Agent Builder.
• Generative AI & LLMs: Hands-on experience developing applications using state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) from Google (Gemini), OpenAI, or open-source ecosystems.
• Modern Development Ecosystem: Strong understanding of semantic search, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, pgvector), chunking strategies, prompt engineering patterns, and RAG architectures.
• API & Integration Patterns: Advanced skills in building and consuming RESTful/gRPC APIs, microservice design, and asynchronous message broker patterns.
• Enterprise Exposure: Experience working within large, complex corporate environments (financial services optional), demonstrating familiarity with enterprise security standards, data privacy controls, and API-driven architectures.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

What You’ll Get

• A supportive environment fostering career progression, continuous learning, and an inclusive culture.
• Broad exposure to CME's diverse products, asset classes, and cross-functional teams.
• A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Explore our full range of benefits
