What can you expect:

The Enterprise Architecture and Technology Engineering team at Marsh McLennan is passionate about creating strategy that makes our technology environment smarter, faster, and easier to manage. We'remitted to breaking down barriers, reducing costs, and creating a future where technology empowers everyone to do their best work. Our engineering teams within Enterprise Architecture develop best practices to meet our strategic goals; carry out proofs-of-concept to select the right technologies or approaches; and deliver foundational, reusable technicalponents used by all teams.

The Senior Software Engineer will work across three core areas within Enterprise Architecture:

AI: They will deploy generative AI services, including large language model APIs, ensuring robust security, efficient load management, andprehensive lifecycle oversight. They will implement and maintain supporting services such as text manipulation and preprocessing tools, while promoting best practices for integration and usage across teams. Additionally, they will contribute to defining enterprise standards and operational guidelines for AI development, such as model selection, semantic caching and security standards, and MCP development.

APIs: They will develop enterprise-wide APIs themselves, promote their use by other developers and coach those developers in the use of existing APIs and creation of new ones. They will also contribute to the development of enterprise standards around APIs.

Reuse: They will design and develop reusableponents and libraries that can be integrated into applications or deployed via containerized and serverless frameworks. They will advocate for the adoption of theseponents across development teams and provide guidance on best practices for their implementation and extension. Additionally, they will contribute to establishing enterprise-wide standards and guidelines to ensure consistency, scalability, and maintainability of reusable assets.
