We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Vice president, Full-stack Engineer to join our AI Transformation Office. This role is located in New York, NY. In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

• Design, build and ship production-grade GenAI and agentic automation solutions end-to-end – from scoping and prototyping through to deployment – applying AI-native tooling across the full workflow, including design, testing and documentation.
• Understand the business problem first, then use AI tooling to accelerate solution design rather than to replace the thinking behind it.
• Partner with Product Owners, line-of-business stakeholders and architects to design, prototype and deliver AI-powered solutions spanning automation, workflow orchestration and client-facing tooling.
• Build and contribute to AI-forward architecture standards, including prompt engineering patterns, agentic workflow design and LLM integration guidelines.
• Participate in code reviews with an AI-first lens – assessing both the quality of the code and how effectively AI tooling was leveraged in the build.
• Ensure solutions meet BNY’s standards for regulatory compliance, risk management and internal controls, including the responsible and secure use of AI.
• Demonstrate teamwork. Promote a collaborative and inclusive work environment aligned with our company culture and values. To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including demonstrable and recent use of AI-native development tools as a core part of your daily workflow rather than an occasional one.
• Daily working proficiency with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor or GitHub Copilot. This is a baseline expectation for the role rather than a differentiator.
• Strong hands-on development experience in Python and/or Java for backend service development.
• Hands-on LLM integration experience using OpenAI, Anthropic or equivalent APIs.
• Working knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP), REST APIs and microservices architecture.
• Experience designing and delivering solutions on a major cloud platform – AWS, Azure or GCP.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering or a related field.
• Preferred: experience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen or similar.
• Preferred: RAG pipeline design and vector database experience (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector).
• Preferred: solid understanding of Agile methodologies and SDLC tooling, including Jira, Git and CI/CD pipelines. At BNY, our culture speaks for itself, check out the latest BNY news at: BNY Newsroom BNY LinkedIn Here’s a few of our recent awards:
