AI Engineer (Applied/Software), Software Architect
Location:
Denver, CO | Type:
Full Time | Setup:
Hybrid |
Experience:
10+ years
You’ll set technical direction across enterprise AI engagements: the architect clients bring in when the system has to work, the stakes are high, and the answer isn’t in a playbook. You operate at the executive level without losing precision, and you remain a builder.
Our client deploys AI systems into production environments where availability, cost, and trust are non‑negotiable. The bar here is architect, builder, communicator: a decade‑plus of production engineering, deep LLM systems experience, and the judgment to direct AI tooling rather than hide behind it.
If you’ve architected multi‑agent platforms, shipped AI products handling thousands of daily queries, and can defend every decision to a CTO, this is your level.
What You’ll Do- Own architecture across engagements: orchestrator‑worker agent patterns, MCP integrations, hybrid RAG systems, and LLM platforms built for scale
- Advise executive stakeholders on AI strategy and translate it into systems that ship
- Set the technical bar across teams, including standards for evals, reliability, cost, and responsible AI tool use
- Unblock the hardest problems hands‑on; this is a player‑coach role at the highest technical level
- Mentor senior and lead engineers across distributed teams
- Stay genuinely current: what shipped this month, not what was in a course six months ago
- 10+ years of production software engineering, with 3+ years focused on LLM‑powered systems
- Experience architecting and shipping production AI products with measurable scale and availability
- Consulting or enterprise delivery background with executive‑level communication
- Full‑stack depth across Python, Type Script, React, and modern backend frameworks, plus current fluency in agentic coding tools
- History of leading engineers across distributed environments while staying hands‑on
Top‑of‑market scope: the engagements with the highest stakes, the most autonomy, and clients who listen. Competitive compensation and benefits.
