Position Overview HUB is seeking an AI Engineer to join the RPA & Automation team within our centralized technology organization, part of HUB’s AI & Automation organization. This is a hands-on build role responsible for designing, building, and shipping production-grade AI applications that deliver measurable value across HUB’s business lines. The role builds on the Claude AI platform: creating reusable skills and plug-ins, composing them into governed AI applications, standing up retrieval over governed enterprise data, and owning the AI asset platform through which these capabilities reach the business. HUB runs Claude as its primary model today, and the stack is expected to evolve toward agentic systems. The ideal candidate is an experienced software engineer with direct, hands-on experience building and shipping AI applications, skills, and plug-ins in a governed, regulated environment, who is productive from the first weeks and ready to grow into agent development. The AI Engineer professionalizes experimental AI prototypes into governed, tested, enterprise-ready applications, and owns the enterprise standards and governance for HUB’s skills, plug-ins, and MCP wherever they are used across HUB. The role scales these capabilities to the business through HUB’s native AI ecosystem. The team builds the simple to moderate skills, plug-ins, and MCP connections directly. Where a build requires deep engineering, such as net-new backend, new infrastructure, or complex integration, Enterprise Engineering executes it to the team standard and returns it to the catalog to be governed and published.
