Our take
Why FIS
A 60-year-old banking-core giant building an AI-native FDE practice — steady employer, heavy travel, and agents shipped into regulated back offices.

A good fit if you're…
- Senior engineers with LLM/RAG/agent experience who can work in regulated environments
- People comfortable with 50–75% travel
- Candidates who value a big-company employer over startup equity
What they do
FIS is one of the largest payments and banking-core technology providers, serving banks, merchants and capital-markets firms. Its software sits under a large share of US bank back offices.
What “forward deployed” means here
The Principal FDE embeds with banking and payments clients to take agentic use cases from POC to production: LLMs, RAG, LangChain/LangGraph agents, plus human-in-the-loop, logging and evals for regulated settings. A second standard FDE req was live at the same time, which points to a practice being built rather than a one-off hire.
Comp & leveling
No band is disclosed. Expect enterprise-public-company pay — solid base and bonus, modest equity — and verify the Principal leveling, since that title can mean very different scopes at legacy firms.
Growth signals
Two concurrent FDE reqs at a Fortune 500 fintech show the title has moved well beyond startups and labs. The upside is scale of impact; the risk is the pace of change inside a large, regulated organization.
