$37-42/hour Overview The AI Engineer II will design, build, and deliver production-grade generative AI applications that solve real business problems across innovation and pilot initiatives. This is a highly hands-on, ownership-driven role with responsibility spanning concept, architecture, implementation, and production deployment. You will operate with a high degree of independence, acting as an end-to-end engineer who translates business needs into scalable GenAI solutions. The role focuses on application engineering, system design, and enterprise readiness rather than traditional data science or model training. Technologies of interest include (but are not limited to): large language models (LLMs), automation, cloud platforms, agentic workflows, and industrial domains such as energy systems. Key Responsibilities Design and deliver generative AI applications from concept through production Translate business requirements into scalable GenAI system architectures Build and maintain full-stack applications, including APIs and LLM-powered tools Implement LLM integrations using approaches such as RAG, prompt engineering, tool calling, and API workflows Balance rapid prototyping with enterprise-grade reliability, security, and governance Apply DevOps best practices (CI/CD, monitoring, scalable deployments) Collaborate with cross-functional teams while owning technical delivery independently Evaluate and prototype emerging GenAI tools and platforms Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders Stay current with industry trends and evolving GenAI capabilities Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or related field 3-5+ years of experience in software engineering, AI engineering, or similar roles Strong proficiency in Python Experience building and deploying production software systems Full-stack development experience (frontend and backend) Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) Knowledge of modern cloud architectures DevOps experience (CI/CD pipelines, containerization, deployment automation) Experience designing and consuming APIs Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git) Strong problem-solving and communication skills Ability to work independently in complex enterprise environments Preferred Qualifications Experience building LLM-powered applications Familiarity with agentic/orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen) Experience in energy, utilities, or industrial sectors ...
