AI Solutions Engineer

AI Practice Leader

Some people use AI. Some people can't stop building with it. If that's you, keep reading. Maybe you've built an AI agent just because you wanted to see if you could. Maybe you've automated part of your life because doing it manually annoyed you. Maybe you've connected systems that were never designed to work together. Maybe you've stayed up until 2:00 AM because you had one more idea you wanted to try.

Good. Keep reading.

What We're Building

For more than 30 years, Andromeda has helped manufacturers use technology to improve their businesses. Now we're building something new. We're launching an AI practice focused on helping manufacturers understand where AI creates real business value - and where it doesn't. We're not chasing AI because it's exciting. We're helping companies solve real business problems. You'll be one of the first people on that journey.

Not joining an established AI department. Helping build one. Working directly with our CEO, you'll explore new technologies, build internal tools, prototype solutions, and help shape the services we'll eventually deliver. Some days you'll build. Some days you'll research. Some days you'll prove an idea doesn't work. That's success too.

This Isn't a Traditional Engineering Job

If you're looking for clearly defined requirements, predictable work, and one technology to master... This probably isn't your job. If you're excited by ambiguity, enjoy figuring things out, and love building things that didn't exist yesterday... You may have just found your next opportunity. AI is evolving almost daily. That means we'll be learning together. There isn't a playbook. We're building it.

What You'll Actually Do

Your work will evolve as AI evolves, but you'll spend most of your time:

• Building internal AI tools that make Andromeda more efficient.
• Experimenting with emerging AI technologies and determining where they create real business value.
• Building prototypes and automation using AI, APIs, MCP servers, and modern integration platforms.
• Helping evaluate and build AI solutions for clients as our practice grows.
• Documenting what works so we can build repeatable, scalable services.

Some weeks you'll build three things. Some weeks you'll spend most of your time learning something completely new. Both are valuable.

The Kind of Person We're Looking For

We care far more about curiosity than years of experience. We're looking for someone who:

• Builds things because they enjoy figuring them out.
• Learns new technology quickly and isn't intimidated by change.
• Solves business problems, not just technical ones.
• Can explain technical ideas to non-technical people.
• Naturally asks, "I wonder if..."

You don't need to know everything. Nobody does. You just need to love learning faster than the technology changes.

Here's What Would Excite Us

We're much more interested in what you've built than the path you took to build it. Things we'd love to see include:

• AI projects, automations, integrations, or software you've built.
• Experience writing software in at least one modern programming language.
• Experience working with APIs or connecting different systems.
• A habit of experimenting with modern AI tools and technologies.
• A Git Hub profile, portfolio, or examples of projects you're proud of.

A computer science degree is great. Being self-taught is great. We care far more about your ability to learn, build, and solve problems than where you learned those skills.

Why This Role Is Different

You'll help shape a brand-new practice inside an established technology company. You'll work directly with our CEO. Your ideas will matter. You'll influence what we build, how we build it, and how our AI practice evolves. Honestly... We don't know exactly what this role looks like three years from now. We hope that's because of the contributions you've made.

Salary Expectations

$75,000–$95,000, based on your experience, demonstrated technical ability, and the AI solutions you've built.

Not Sure?

If you're reading this thinking... "I'm not sure I'm qualified..." but you're excited by what you've read... Apply anyway. The right mindset is more difficult to teach than the right technology. We're much more interested in finding the right person than checking every box.
