About This Role:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, AI to be the technical counterpart to our AI Product Manager and help define how we build and ship AI at Binance.US. In this role, you will own the architecture, implementation, and evolution of our AI platform and services, from LLM integrations and evaluation frameworks to the APIs that power AI-enabled experiences across our product surface area. You’ll be a player-coach: deeply hands-on in the codebase while providing technical leadership, mentoring engineers, and raising the bar for how we build AI in a regulated environment. This is a highly visible role with significant scope and impact across the organization.

Core Responsibilities:

• Partner with the Senior Product Manager, AI to translate AI product strategy into a clear technical roadmap, breaking initiatives into milestones and deliverables.

• Design and evolve the AI platform (LLM/model orchestration, context and prompt management, evaluation pipelines, observability, and cost controls).

• Evaluate, select, and integrate LLMs and other models (hosted APIs and self-hosted), balancing quality, latency, cost, privacy, and regulatory requirements.

• Define standards and best practices for how product and engineering teams build AI-powered features on top of the platform.

• Design, implement, and maintain backend services and APIs that power AI-enabled features for customers and internal users (e.g., support tooling, trading and risk insights, internal agents and automation).

• Collaborate with data/ML partners to productionize models, including feature pipelines, inference services, and online/offline evaluation.

• Ensure AI systems are reliable, observable, and scalable, with clear SLOs for performance, availability, and quality.

• Implement evaluation frameworks for AI systems, including regression suites, A/B experiments, human-in-the-loop review, and quality metrics.

• Work closely with Security, Compliance, Legal, and Risk to incorporate guardrails, access controls, and auditability into AI systems from design through deployment.

• Use secure tool-calling/orchestration patterns to connect models to internal tools and data while respecting data governance and customer privacy.

• Mentor and level up engineers (Senior and mid-level) in AI/ML best practices, distributed systems design, and platform thinking.

• Collaborate with engineering and talent partners on hiring for AI-related roles and help shape our AI engineering culture.

Preferred Skills/Experience:

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years building production ML/AI systems.

• Backend & systems expertise

  • Strong proficiency in Java or a similar typed backend language (e.g., Kotlin, Go) and working proficiency in Python for ML/AI workflows.

  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka or similar).

• AI / ML experience

  • Hands-on experience building with LLMs and modern ML tooling (e.g., OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, Hugging Face, vector databases, RAG, prompt orchestration frameworks).

  • Familiarity with AI evaluation and safety techniques (offline/online eval, content filters, policy enforcement, guardrails).

• Platform mindset

  • Experience building platforms or internal tools that support multiple product teams, with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and developer experience.

  • Comfortable defining and evangelizing patterns, standards, and reusable components.

• Domain & collaboration

  • Experience in fintech, trading, payments, or other regulated industries is a strong plus.

  • Proven ability to communicate clearly with cross-functional partners (Product, Data, Security, Compliance, and leadership) and to translate complex technical work into business impact.

• Bonus points

  • Experience building or integrating crypto/DeFi/trading products.

  • Contributions to open-source AI, ML, or infrastructure projects.

  • Experience with MCP-style tool integrations or other modern agent/orchestration frameworks.
