Reporting to the VP, Information Security & DevOps, the Lead, AI Engineer owns both halves of AI at SavvyMoney: the systems and the adoption. You architect and personally write the internal AI tooling the company runs on, and you own getting it used. The work is the same shape as effective security or DevOps platform work — paved roads, policy, telemetry, champions, enforcement, friction reduction, repetition — applied to a new substrate. You are the connective tissue between business stakeholders, engineering, and executive leadership, translating AI capability into shipped tooling and role-based behavior change across our 200+ person company and our partner operations.

This is a high-visibility role inside our newly chartered AI Engineering Team. You won't just lead — you are the most senior builder on the team, and you manage the AI Engineer on it. You spend the majority of your week shipping internal AI tools and reference architectures, and you personally drive the adoption of what you build: literacy, champions, and a culture where AI is a default tool rather than a lighthouse project.
