Lead AI Solutions Engineer

About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.

Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, S&P Dow Jones Indices, FTSE Russell, WisdomTree, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, Lido, GMX and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. Learn more at chain.link.

Chainlink Labs is seeking an exceptional AI Solutions Engineer to join our People Technology and Analytics team. This is a newly created, high-impact role built to accelerate our two most important strategic priorities: simplifying our people tech stack and embedding AI-powered, agentic workflows across the organization.

In this role, you will serve as the connective tissue across our entire people technology ecosystem, architecting automation, and leading the deployment of AI tools including Claude to eliminate manual work and unlock scale. You will partner closely with our People Team Leads to design and deliver cross-platform solutions that make our tools smarter and our team faster.

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up: defining AI tooling architecture, establishing the agentic work playbook, and directly shaping how AI transforms the way our People function operates. If you are a technically strong operator who thinks in systems, moves with urgency, and is excited by the intersection of HR technology and AI, this role was designed for you.

Your Impact

• Drive the rollout, adoption, and operationalization of built from scratch AI tools across the People function

• Build and deploy AI-powered workflows and agents that automate recruiting operations, onboarding, reporting, performance cycles, and other key processes

• Create self-service tools and intelligent assistants that improve stakeholder experience and reduce manual intervention for the People team

• Establish best practices for scalable and responsible AI usage, including governance, prompt standards, quality control, and change management

• Partner with People leaders to identify high-impact automation opportunities and streamline inefficient or manual workflows

• Own the automation roadmap and deliver solutions using APIs, iPaaS platforms, native tooling, and lightweight scripting

• Collaborate cross-functionally with IT, Security, Data Engineering, and vendors to deliver secure, scalable, and future-ready People Technology solutions

• Lead the technical delivery of new system implementations, migrations, and decommissioning initiatives as we simplify and modernize our stack

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in Enterprise Applications, with recent AI-focused roles that hold increasing ownership and complexity

• Demonstrated ability to architect and build AI-powered tools from the ground up, with working knowledge of Google Cloud infrastructure — leveraging services like BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions to move from prototype to production with speed and reliability.

• Experience writing or reviewing scripts in Python or JavaScript to support integrations, automation, or operational tooling

• Ideally familiarity with modern People Technology ecosystems, including ATS, HCM, performance, compensation, and workforce analytics platforms

• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders

• High ownership mindset with the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments while balancing strategic thinking with execution speed
