AI Engineer 5 ((AI Foundations, LLM Core and Agentic AI)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content is list-like. "What You’ll Do" includes bullet-like sentences but not explicit list; we can convert to
- . Similarly "The Ideal Candidate" includes multiple paragraphs; we could make list. Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications are lists.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Let's extract sections:
- Overview (maybe combine Overview and Team Description as "About the role"? The instruction: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly.
We have Overview + Team Description: could be "About the role". Provide prose.
"What You’ll Do": Responsibilities.
"The Ideal Candidate": could be Skills or Requirements? Might be "Requirements" or "Skills". We have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications separate. Could treat Basic Qualifications as "Requirements", Preferred as "Qualifications". Or combine.
We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We have also "Preferred Qualifications" which could be under Qualifications.
We also have "Basic Qualifications" as Requirements.
We also have "The Ideal Candidate" which is more like Skills/Attributes; could be under Skills heading. But we don't have Skills heading in list? Actually we can use Skills heading. The instruction list includes Skills as possible heading. So we could have Skills for The Ideal Candidate.
Thus sections:
- About the role (Overview + Team Description)
- Responsibilities (What You’ll Do)
- Skills (The Ideal Candidate)
- Requirements (Basic Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications)
- Pay (salary ranges + incentive compensation + sponsorship)
- Benefits (benefits statement)
We must not create Schedule.
Now format.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include details like "Partner with a cross-functional team..." etc.
We need to convert list items to

Let's craft.
About the role: combine Overview and Team Description paragraphs.
Overview paragraph: "At Capital One, we are creating responsible and reliable AI systems, changing banking for good. For years, Capital One has been an industry leader in using machine learning to create real-time, personalized customer experiences. Our investments in technology infrastructure and world-class talent — along with our deep experience in machine learning — position us to be at the forefront of enterprises leveraging AI. From informing customers about unusual charges to answering their questions in real time, our applications of AI & ML are bringing humanity and simplicity to banking. We are committed to continuing to build world-class applied science and engineering teams to deliver our industry leading capabilities with breakthrough product experiences and scalable, high-performance AI infrastructure. At Capital One, you will help bring the transformative power of emerging AI capabilities to reimagine how we serve our customers and businesses who have come to love the products and services we build."
Team Description paragraph: "The Intelligent Foundations and Experiences (IFX) team is at the center of bringing our vision for AI at Capital One to life. We work hand-in-hand with our partners across the company to advance the state of the art in science and AI engineering, and we build and deploy proprietary solutions that are central to our business and deliver value to millions of customers. Our AI models and platforms empower teams across Capital One to enhance their products with the transformative power of AI, in responsible and scalable ways for the highest leverage impact."
We can combine into one
or two
. Probably two
under same heading.
Responsibilities: list each sentence as
- . Let's extract bullet points:
- Partner with a cross-functional team of engineers, research scientists, technical program managers, and product managers to deliver AI-powered products that change how our associates work and how our customers interact with Capital One.
- Design, develop, test, deploy, and support AI software components including foundation model training, large language model inference, agents and multi-agent workflows, similarity search, guardrails, model evaluation, experimentation, governance, and observability, etc.
- Leverage a broad stack of Open Source and SaaS AI technologies such as AWS Ultraclusters, Huggingface, VectorDBs, PyTorch, and more.
- Invent and introduce state-of-the-art foundation model optimization techniques to improve the performance — scalability, cost, latency, throughput — of large scale production AI systems.
- Contribute to the technical vision and the long term roadmap of foundational AI systems at Capital One.
- Design, implement and optimize multi-model orchestration pipelines - integrating LLMs, vector search, and domain-specific models into unified systems
- Establish and lead cost-performance governance reviews across AI systems, tracking GPU utilization, model throughput, and inference cost efficiency
- Lead team design councils or design review boards to ensure technical consistency and compliance with AI engineering standards
- Mentor Principal and Manager-level AI engineers, fostering cross-domain learning and elevating organizational technical maturity
We need to keep the exact phrasing.

Also note: "Capital One will consider sponsoring a new qualified applicant for employment authorization for this position." This could go under Pay or maybe a separate note; but we can include in Pay section as a paragraph.
Pay section: include salary ranges per location, mention performance based incentive compensation, sponsorship.
We need to preserve all info: salary ranges for each location, note about part-time prorated, note about other locations, note about performance based incentive compensation, sponsorship.
We'll create
