Description

About Alvarez & Marsal

Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is a global consulting firm with entrepreneurial, action- and results-oriented professionals. We take a hands-on approach to solving our clients problems and helping them reach their potential. A&M is different by design: we give people ownership and impact from day one, fuel development through real opportunity, and provide direct access to leaders who invest in our growth. Our culture celebrates independent thinkers and doers who positively impact clients and shape our industry. Guided by A&M s core values of Integrity, Quality, Objectivity, Fun, Personal Reward, and Inclusive Diversity, our collaborative, globally minded environment is why our people love working at A&M.

The Team

A&M is seeking a Senior Associate to join A&M IQx, our AI-focused business unit. We design, build, and deploy AI solutions that help clients eliminate manual work, move faster, and deliver measurable results across industries.

This is a technical leadership and consulting role, which includes both hands-on building, solution design, workstream leadership, and client advisory. You will own solution architecture, lead a project workstream, build the most complex components yourself, mentor Associates and Senior Associates, and serve as a trusted advisor to client executives. You will take solutions from proof of concept through secure, enterprise-scale production, and help shape proposals and pursuits with business unit leadership.

How You Will Contribute

Solution Design and Delivery

• Design and build components of AI and data solutions, including data pipelines, machine learning models, APIs, and generative and agentic AI applications, from prototype through production.
• Translate workstream requirements into technical tasks, estimates, and working code, with guidance from the project leadership.
• Troubleshoot and improve solutions in development and production, including performance, reliability, and cost.

Hands-On Engineering

• Build hands-on, writing and reviewing code, developing proofs of concept, and integrating services.
• Apply engineering practices, including source control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, and documentation.
• Deploy and operate solutions in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containerized deployments.

Consulting and Client Impact

• Apply structured problem-solving to break down client problems, test hypotheses with data, and recommend practical solutions.
• Present findings and technical approaches clearly to client working teams and, with support, to executives.
• Build trusted relationships with client counterparts through reliable follow-through and professionalism.
• Contribute to business development, including proposal content, solution outlines, and demonstrations.
• Collaborate across practice areas and foster an inclusive team environment that values diverse perspectives.

Qualifications:

Required

• 3+ years of experience in data engineering, AI/ML engineering, systems engineering, or software engineering, with strong Python and SQL.
• Experience using AI coding tools (i.e. Claude Code) to write production code, with the discipline to test and validate that the result works and meets its purpose.
• Experience building and deploying solutions on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Working knowledge of software engineering practices, including git, code review, unit testing, and CI/CD.
• Exposure to generative AI application development, such as LLM APIs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), workflow automation, or document processing, through work or projects.
• Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Prior consulting or comparable client-facing experience, or a demonstrated ability to work directly with business stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel as required for client engagements.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with LLM-based applications in production, including RAG systems, vector databases, and embeddings.
• Experience designing automated, agent-based or workflow-driven systems, including error handling and recovery from system failures. Familiarity with frameworks such as LangChain or CrewAI is helpful.
• Experience building APIs, backend applications, and scheduled or file-based data jobs (for example, FastAPI, SFTP transfers, Kubernetes jobs, Docker containers).
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with modern data platforms and orchestration tools (for example, data warehouses or lakehouses).
• Familiarity with enterprise security concepts, including SSO, OAuth/OIDC, role-based access control, and audit logging.
