Month Contract Pay Rate:
$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
