About the Role
The AI Engineer / Forward Deployed Engineer designs, builds, integrates, and operates production-grade AI solutions to solve real business problems within complex enterprise environments. This role blends hands-on software engineering, AI solution architecture, stakeholder engagement, and end-to-end delivery ownership, working closely with operational problems to translate business needs into deployed AI-enabled workflows.
Responsibilities
- Design and build AI-enabled applications, copilots, agents, extraction pipelines, prediction interfaces, and decision-support tools using foundation models, retrieval-augmented generation, structured outputs, and orchestration frameworks.
- Work directly with business teams, product owners, clients, or operational users to understand real workflows, constraints, data quality issues, and adoption barriers, then translate these into working technical solutions.
- Build and tune LLM workflows, prompt strategies, schema-driven extraction, tool-calling patterns, agent orchestration, evaluation loops, and human-in-the-loop controls.
- Integrate AI solutions with enterprise systems, APIs, data platforms, document repositories, workflow tools, observability platforms, and identity and access management services.
- Ensure AI solutions meet enterprise standards for reliability, scalability, latency, maintainability, cost control, logging, monitoring, and operational support.
- Create evaluation datasets, test harnesses, validation tools, regression checks, and quality review workflows to measure accuracy, extraction quality, hallucination risk, and business usefulness.
- Define solution architecture, engineering standards, reusable patterns, and implementation approaches for AI-enabled platforms and services.
- Work with engineering, data, and business teams to prepare structured and unstructured data, improve metadata, design retrieval strategies, and identify gaps in source content.
- Embed access controls, audit logging, data protection, responsible AI controls, security review, and compliance requirements into the AI delivery lifecycle.
- Support users through demos, pilots, training, feedback loops, documentation, and iterative improvement so that deployed AI solutions create measurable business value.
Requirements
- Strong enterprise engineering background.
- Deep expertise across modern full-stack technologies (.NET, Azure, SQL, React/Angular).
- Experience in distributed systems.
- Experience in observability.
- Experience with AI tooling such as LLMs, retrieval pipelines, and agentic workflows.
- Ability to mentor others.
- Ability to resolve production challenges.
- Ability to scale prototypes into robust, enterprise-grade solutions.
