Job Description The Lead Engineer will provide senior engineering leadership across two strategic teams: the Risk Data Team and the Risk AI Engineering Team. This role is accountable for setting technical direction, aligning engineering execution to business outcomes, and ensuring both teams deliver secure, scalable, reliable and measurable risk products. The Risk Data Team creates the trusted data foundation for risk management by transforming fragmented risk and control data into reliable, accessible and actionable information. The team builds governed data products, integrates internal and external data sources, automates validation and reconciliation, develops dashboards and reporting, defines common metrics and quality standards, and reduces reliance on manual reporting. The Risk AI Engineering Team designs and delivers secure, explainable and responsible AI capabilities within risk products. The team develops reusable AI capabilities, identifies high-value use cases, builds AI-assisted workflows, implements natural language, classification, recommendation and predictive features, and ensures appropriate human review, model evaluation, monitoring and continuous improvement. Each team will be led day-to-day by a Managing Engineer. The Managing Engineers will report to the Lead Engineer, who will provide leadership across the combined engineering capability, ensure alignment between data and AI strategies, and create the conditions for both teams to deliver trusted, production-ready outcomes across TORC.
