Job Description: Forward-Deployed AI Engineer Location India (Pune / Bangalore / Remote India) Reports To Snr. Director of AI and Data, Enterprise Data Services (UK) Level Individual Contributor (3-4 years experience) Team Enterprise Data Services — AI Engineering Contract Permanent, Full-Time HRFs BTF27272, BTF27273
About the Team
Enterprise Data Services (EDS) is Bottomline's AI Engineering function. We don't build AI as a side tool — we build AI-native solutions where intelligence IS the product. Our platform runs on Snowflake, and we use Snowflake's native AI capabilities (Cortex AI, Cortex Agents, Cortex Search, Cortex Analyst, ML Functions) to solve business problems directly in the data platform, no external ML infrastructure, no separate serving layer, no handoffs between teams.
We currently ship: churn prediction agents, contract intelligence, partner reporting automation, a governance control plane, and much more. Everything runs in Snowflake. Everything is versioned, tested, and production-governed.
The Role
We're looking for an Forward-Deployed AI Engineer (FDE) who can take a business problem and solve it natively in Snowflake — from feature engineering through model training to deployment as a live service. This is not a platform-building role. You won't be designing schemas or managing pipelines. You'll be the person who turns business questions into working AI solutions that run in production.
What You Will Do
Take business problems (e.g. churn risk, propensity to buy, anomaly detection, document intelligence) and design AI solutions using Snowflake-native capabilities Build and evaluate ML models using Snowflake ML Functions, Snowpark ML, and Cortex AI Design and implement Cortex Agents that combine structured data queries with unstructured document intelligence Create evaluation frameworks (golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, human review loops) to prove solutions meet success metrics Work with Cortex Analyst semantic views to enable natural language access to business data Build Cortex Search services over unstructured documents (contracts, support tickets, product docs etc.) Collaborate with AI and Data Engineers who handles platform infrastructure, you focus on the science, they handle the plumbing Present findings and recommendations to business stakeholders in plain language Contribute to the AI project lifecycle: framing problems, running spikes, evaluating results, and iterating Requirements
Must Have
3-4 years experience in data science, machine learning, or applied AI
Strong Python (pandas, scikit-learn, numpy), you think in DataFrames
Version control: Git, Snowflake stage-based deployment
Visualisation: Streamlit in Snowflake, Cortex Code (IDE), PowerBI
Why This Role Is Different
AI-native, not AI-assisted: You will build solutions where the AI IS the product, not a feature bolted onto something else No ML infrastructure tax: Everything runs natively in Snowflake — no Docker, no Kubernetes, no model serving endpoints to manage You will have business impact from day one: with a prioritised backlog of Quick Win candidates waiting for someone to build them Direct line to stakeholders: No layers of middle management between you and the business problem.
Modern AI engineering practices: Lifecycle-governed (Framing > Spikes > Build > Evaluate > Governance > Adoption), evaluation-driven, with a real governance plane Your First 90 Days Days 1-30: Learn Understand the Snowflake platform and Cortex AI capabilities Run through the AI project lifecycle on a small candidate Days 30-60: Spike Own your first AI candidate from the prioritised backlog Run a timeboxed spikes: build the crudest version that proves positive signal Create your first golden evaluation dataset Present spike findings to the team Days 60-90: Build Build your spike to production standard with proper evaluation Pass through governance gates Ship your first AI solution to production
