Ai Engineer

Description Senior AI Engineer / Forward Deployed Engineer About the Opportunity

Join a newly formed, executive-sponsored AI Transformation organization focused on delivering enterprise-scale AI solutions across a large global enterprise. This team sits at the intersection of business, product, and engineering, partnering directly with stakeholders to identify high-impact opportunities and rapidly bring AI-powered solutions into production.

This is not a research role and it's not a platform engineering role. You'll work directly with business partners to solve real-world problems using modern AI technologies, helping define how AI is adopted throughout the organization.

What You'll Do

• Partner with business stakeholders to understand challenges and identify opportunities for AI-driven transformation.
• Translate ambiguous business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications and agentic workflows.
• Develop production-grade solutions leveraging LLMs, AI agents, MCPs, skills, and modern AI frameworks.
• Rapidly prototype ideas, validate business value, and iterate based on stakeholder feedback.
• Conduct solution demos and communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborate with product, program, and engineering teams to drive adoption and measurable business outcomes.
• Help establish best practices for enterprise AI delivery and implementation.

Required Qualifications

• AI Engineering Expertise
• Experience building and deploying AI applications into production environments.
• Hands‑on experience developing AI agents from scratch.
• Strong understanding of LLMs, agent architectures, prompt engineering, and context engineering.
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol), skills, tools, harnesses, or similar agent frameworks.
• Solution Architecture & Problem Solving
• Proven ability to take ambiguous business problems and decompose them into technical solutions.
• Strong systems design and solution architecture capabilities.
• Ability to evaluate multiple approaches and determine the most effective implementation strategy.
• Product & Stakeholder Management
• Experience working directly with business stakeholders or customers.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to balance technical excellence with business impact.
• Demonstrated product mindset and customer empathy.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience building multi-agent systems.
• Experience with RAG architectures and vector databases.
• Background in AI-powered automation or workflow orchestration.
• Experience building coding agents or AI-assisted developer tools.
• Experience delivering customer-facing AI products.
• Cloud experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience in highly regulated or enterprise-scale environments.

What Success Looks Like

You will be successful if you can:

• Turn vague business requests into production-ready AI solutions.
• Rapidly deliver prototypes that demonstrate clear business value.
• Drive adoption of AI tools and applications across teams.
  
  Improve efficiency, accuracy, and operational outcomes through AI.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to stakeholders.

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for an engineer who combines deep AI expertise with strong business acumen. You'll thrive in this role if you're equally comfortable discussing enterprise challenges with stakeholders, architecting AI solutions, and building production-quality applications.

Top 3 Must-Have Skills

• Production AI Agent Development (LLMs, Agents, MCP, Skills, Harnesses)
• Ability to Decompose Ambiguous Business Problems Into Technical Solutions
• Strong Product Mindset and Stakeholder Communication Skills

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a foundational AI Transformation team that is shaping how AI is adopted across an entire enterprise. You'll work on highly visible initiatives, solve meaningful business problems, and help define the future of AI-powered operations while collaborating with Senior leaders, product teams, and business stakeholders across the organization.
