Applied AI Engineer (GenAI Systems)

Manulife is making a significant investment in Advanced Analytics and GenAI to transform how Finance, Treasury, and Actuarial teams make decisions. Our AI team builds practical, governed solutions that move from idea to implementation and are adopted in real business workflows.

We’re hiring two Associate Applied AI Engineers who bring strong technical depth, sound software engineering practices, and a modern GenAI design mindset to help deliver AI and GenAI capabilities that integrate effectively into real business workflows. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates with graduate-level training in AI/ML or related quantitative disciplines, as well as those in early-career applied AI roles, who want to work on meaningful business problems rather than research prototypes or notebook-based analysis alone. If you enjoy taking ambiguous business challenges and translating them into structured solution designs, measurable experiments, and production-ready outcomes, this role is for you.

Position Responsibilities:

1. Contribute to end-to-end solution design (GenAI + ML)

Translate business problems into a clear solution approach, including user workflow, data flow, model approach, evaluation plan, and operational controls.

Create lightweight, high-quality design artifacts such as system context, runtime sequence, agent/tool maps, data lineage, and decision logs that support implementation and governance.

Participate in design discussions and make thoughtful trade-offs…
