Lead AI Solutions Engineer

Data Robot delivers AI that maximizes impact and minimizes business risk by integrating AI into core business processes.

The Principal AI Solutions Engineer plays a pivotal role in helping enterprise customers see, feel, and recognize the value of agentic AI fast. This role sits at the intersection of business understanding, AI application design, and polished product execution. The primary mission is to rapidly design and build enterprise‑grade MVP agentic AI applications, often within days, that demonstrate how AI agents can transform real business processes.

You will partner closely with prospective customers, subject matter experts, and pre‑sales team members to turn ambiguous business problems into credible, production‑inspired prototypes that showcase technical depth, strong UX/UI taste, and modern AI architecture while remaining pragmatic and fast to deliver.

This role requires senior‑level judgment: deep hands‑on building experience, strong customer‑facing intuition, and the ability to make pragmatic tradeoffs under real‑world constraints.

• Strong hands‑on experience building agentic AI applications using modern LLM frameworks and orchestration patterns.
• Solid backend engineering skills (Python, Agent Skills, MCP, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Code, Cursor).
• Experience designing and running Agent Skills, MCP servers, tool APIs, and external system integrations.
• Familiarity with agent tracing, observability, logging, and evaluation techniques for AI applications.

• Proficiency with React and modern frontend tooling.
• Experience using shadcn/ui or similar design systems to create clean, enterprise‑ready UIs.
• Strong UX instincts—able to simplify complex workflows and present AI behavior transparently and confidently.

• Exceptional ability to move from ambiguity to clarity quickly.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; comfortable leading technical conversations with non‑technical stakeholders.
• Ability to explain complex AI concepts in a grounded, value‑driven, and honest way.

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, applied AI, hands‑on technical consulting, or technical product roles.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience.
• Advanced degree or research background in AI/ML is a plus, but not required.
• Ability to travel up to 25% to customer meetings, workshops, industry conferences, and events.
