AI Engineer (full-stack)
About The Position
Build, test, and deploy AI applications and services, translating solution designs and reference architectures into working, demo-ready components. Implement data and ML pipelines (ingest, transform, feature stores, vector indexes) and wire up retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic workflows. Package and serve models (LLMs and traditional ML) via APIs and microservices using containers and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). Stand up and maintain cloud resources and AI platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP; Palantir; Databricks), including CI/CD, IaC (e.g., Terraform), secrets, and observability. Integrate AI capabilities (prompt orchestration, tool/function calling, embeddings, fine-tuning) into applications and services. Collaborate with data scientists, platform engineers, and product teams to iterate on use cases, deliver POCs/MVPs, and harden them for scale. Contribute to demos, technical documentation, and solution content for proposals and pitch materials. Follow responsible AI practices and security/compliance requirements across commercial and public sector environments.
