ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for an outstanding AI Engineer with both a passion for design and experience architecting modern AI implementations.
Nu's design and research function is roughly 260 people. Over the past year they have been building their own tooling: something like 100 AI-assisted solutions and 30+ local knowledge repositories, each built inside a business unit to solve that unit's problem. Most of them work. None of them talk to each other.
The Design Center of Excellence exists to turn that kind of local invention into systems the whole function can build on. It has design ops and research ops. It does not have an engineer — which means the CoE can identify a need, specify a tool, and then has no one to build it.
This is that hire: the first engineer in the CoE, and the person who architects the systems that let design at Nu scale. You'll work directly with the designers and researchers who use what you build, and the person who scopes a system is the person who builds it.
