• Be part of the complete innovation process for AI capabilities – all the way from rapid prototypes and demos to production-grade solutions that can be deployed at large banks globally 

• Work closely with core banking solutions and data – enabling AI agents to interact with transaction data, automate business processes, and generate insights as well as recommendations for our banking customers and their clients 

• Lead and further grow a high-performing AI development team, setting technical direction and mentoring developers 

• Collaborate with product managers, solution leads, and our customers to ensure AI features meet requirements and deliver tangible business value 

• Provide architectural and technical guidance to implementation teams, including where AI features touch SAP/ABAP components
