10/08/2026 About Use Case Engineering

Use Case Engineering is the production delivery arm of Marriott's AI Engineering organization. We embed forward deployed AI engineers with teams across the enterprise, carry the company's highest priority AI use cases from intake through production, and turn each delivery into reusable patterns, SDKs, and reference architectures that make the next one faster.

The Role

As Director, AI Application Engineering you own the engineering of AI applications and agent systems across a portfolio of enterprise use cases. You lead a group of forward deployed engineers, set the architecture, and stay hands on in the code. Your portfolio carries the hardest engagements: multi system integrations, vendor engineering teams delivering alongside us, and decisions that set precedent for the rest of the AI program. You work across build, consult, advise, and monitor engagements at the same time, and you are accountable both for what reaches production and for what happens to it afterward. Reports to the Senior Director, AI Engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead forward deployed engineers delivering AI applications and agents for a business vertical, holding the technical bar from intake through production handoff
• Design and build agent systems, tool and API integrations, and retrieval pipelines on the enterprise AI platform stack, using vendor SDKs and agent development kits
• Own architecture decisions for your portfolio and carry them through the enterprise governance gates, including agent tier clas
