Role Summary

We are looking for an AI Engineer who will work directly with clients to understand their business problems, design AI/automation solutions, and manage delivery end-to-end. This is a hands-on, client-facing role focused more on problem-solving, solution design, and ownership than on pure coding.

- Build PoCs, internal tools, and pilot solutions to validate ideas
- Implementation & Ownership
- Work with internal tech/resources (developers, QA, DevOps) to implement and deploy solutions
- Ensure code/solutions are:
- Scalable
- Maintainable and readable for future engineers
- Properly documented
- Client Management & Communication
- Own end-to-end relationships for assigned clients/projects
- Conduct weekly/bi-weekly project updates and demos
- Collect feedback and iterate on solutions
- Quality, Reliability & Long-Term Thinking
- Review AI-generated code (from tools like Claude/ChatGPT) for efficiency, correctness, and cleanliness
- Ensure data handling and workflows do not break or corrupt information when integrating AI with other systems
- Think ahead so that future engineers can easily understand and extend the work

- - Able to:
- Read, understand, and clean up/optimize AI-generated code
