Senior AI Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Senior AI Engineer to design and build AI-enabled solutions that drive operational efficiency, automation, and intelligent workflows across enterprise systems.

This role focuses on applied AI and solution delivery. The ideal candidate will work on complex, real-world problems—ranging from process automation to workflow optimization—and determine when to leverage AI, automation, or traditional engineering approaches to deliver scalable, production-grade solutions.

While experience in regulated or security-conscious environments is valuable, this role is not limited to security use cases and spans broader enterprise applications.


Key Responsibilities

Applied AI & Automation

  • Design and build AI-enabled solutions, including agent-based workflows, decision services, and intelligent automations
  • Translate complex or ambiguous business and operational problems into production-ready AI-driven solutions
  • Apply sound judgment to determine when to use AI, automation, or deterministic logic

Systems Integration & Workflow Engineering

  • Develop integrations and automations using APIs, services, and event-driven architectures
  • Build reusable components and workflows to support enterprise-wide automation initiatives
  • Design solutions that streamline manual processes (e.g., forms, routing, approvals, notifications)

Solution Delivery & Collaboration

  • Partner with engineers, product owners, and business stakeholders to deliver effective solutions
  • Write maintainable, well-tested, and production-ready code
  • Contribute to shared patterns, frameworks, and best practices for applied AI and automation

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 5–8+ years of experience in software engineering, systems engineering, or related roles
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying real-world AI/LLM-based solutions (not just prototypes)
  • Experience designing agent-based systems, orchestration workflows, or retrieval-based solutions (RAG, APIs, etc.)
  • Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages
  • Strong experience working with APIs, distributed systems, and service-oriented architectures
  • Ability to translate business requirements into end-to-end technical solutions

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building AI-enabled automation for business processes or operational workflows
  • Background in regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, pharma, finance, manufacturing)
  • Experience integrating AI solutions into enterprise platforms and internal systems
  • Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Exposure to security concepts or working within security-conscious environments (nice to have, not required)

What Success Looks Like

  • Delivers scalable, production-grade AI solutions that solve real business problems
  • Builds intelligent workflows that reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency
  • Translates ambiguous challenges into clear, implementable solutions
  • Develops reusable components and patterns for broader enterprise use
  • Earns trust through strong technical execution and collaboration across teams
  • Creates reusable patterns and solutions that scale across security domains.
