Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Build the Systems That Make AIMission

You will take early-stage AI agents and turn them into robust, high-performance systems running on Power Nodes. You own:
System correctness → performance → reliability.

We are building a decentralised AI network where all inference runs locally. No cloud. No central control. Just secure, private AI systems.

You will:

• Use Cursor + Claude to build systems
• Operate in an AI-first engineering model
• Optimise inference and agent behaviour
• Work on local, edge-based systems

You will NOT:

• Rely on Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud pipelines
• Build traditional backend systems

• Turn agents into reliable systems
• Optimise execution and inference

• Work with PyTorch, LoRA, QLoRA when needed
• Optimise models for local execution

• Use Lang Chain / Lang Graph
• Design stable, multi-step workflows

• Build APIs and bindings to real systems
• Ensure clean system interaction

• Strong engineering fundamentals
• Experience building AI systems
• Comfort working with AI-assisted development
• Ability to operate without rigid structure

• 1099 independent contractor
• Full-time, on-site — Cary, NC
• $42,000–$72,000 annually

This is a 1099 independent contractor position. Full-time on-site presence at our Cary, NC office is required — remote and hybrid arrangements are not available. OPT, STEM OPT, F-1, and H-1B visas are not compatible with a 1099 contract and will not be accepted.

• PAI3 Network — AI you can trust. AI you can own.
