Description

We are building the next generation of AI-native engineering talent engineers who use AI as a core part of how they work, not as an add-on.

As an AI Engineer (Software), you will design, build, and ship production-grade software across the full stack, using AI-assisted tooling as standard daily practice alongside your core engineering skills.

You will work on real client programs across industries, building production-grade software that connects to and supports agentic AI systems , understanding how your full-stack work integrates with agent architecture, LLM APIs, and enterprise AI pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

  • Use AI coding assistants daily as a standard part of delivery, actively, frequently, and with demonstrable impact on productivity and output quality
  • Integrate LLM APIs into applications in production: calling AI provider APIs in live code, managing token limits and latency, and building initial abstraction layers
  • Apply AI across the full software delivery lifecycle: AI-generated tests, AI-assisted debugging, AI-accelerated code review, and prompt engineering for development tasks
  • Own the quality of AI-generated outputs in your delivery scope, exercise engineering judgment about reliability, limitations, and failure modes; know when AI output is production-ready and when it is not
  • Define and track KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness and ROI of AI-assisted workflows; present AI productivity and quality metrics to project stakeholders
  • Own delivery end-to-end , from design through to production support , in Agile sprint cycles alongside client engineering teams
  • Contribute to shared knowledge bases, reusable components, and internal AI tooling standards that benefit the wider team
  • Build and integrate the application layers, APIs, and interfaces that connect full-stack systems to agentic backends , understanding data flows, context handoffs, and integration points between your code and AI pipelines

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • 2+ years of commercial software engineering experience in production environments (or equivalent demonstrated through academic projects, internships, or shipped personal projects)
  • Proficiency in at least one primary backend language: Python, Java, or TypeScript
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI tools actively in day-to-day engineering work , with practical examples of how AI was used to solve real problems, iterate on outputs, and improve delivery; including direct experience calling LLM APIs in production code with an understanding of token management, latency, and cost tradeoffs
  • Basic understanding of web technologies including JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
  • Familiarity with cloud fundamentals (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines
  • Understanding of Agile delivery fundamentals
  • Experience with databases , SQL or NoSQL
  • Ability to validate, evaluate, and improve AI-generated outputs; understanding of AI limitations and responsible use
  • Familiarity with agentic system concepts , awareness of orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent), RAG pipelines, and how full-stack applications connect to agent-based architecture; production experience preferred, conceptual understanding required
