Description
We're looking for a talented and motivated individual to join our team as an AI Engineer. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that combine generative AI, agentic systems, machine learning (ML), Large Language Models (LLMs), and prompt engineering to drive innovation. You'll be responsible for designing, developing, and deploying complex solutions in distributed and cloud environments, working with large datasets and text-based data to create innovative technical solutions.
This role is fully remote. On an exception basis may be required to come in once a quarter for planning purposes to Washington, DC.

Implement end-to-end AI/ML and GenAI projects, from understanding business needs to data preparation, model development, deployment and monitoring
Work with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, etc. via APIs or cloud AI platforms to develop solutions for specific tasks
Evaluate and test GenAI features: building test sets, grounding and citation checks, LLM-as-judge scoring, and production quality monitoring
Job Requirements:
Experience building agentic AI systems (agents with tool/function calling, planning or task decomposition, and multi-step execution), or strong working knowledge of agent architectures and frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, Strands, or AutoGen
Working knowledge of the modern LLM stack: prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, and structured outputs
Experience in one or more areas of machine learning / artificial intelligence such as classification, clustering, anomaly detection, sentiment analysis, and NLP problems such as text categorization, topic modeling, entity extraction, and text summarization
Ability to think critically about AI or ML system design, including model selection, tradeoffs, and real-world deployment considerations
Preferred Skills:
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and their AI/ML services such as AWS Bedrock, AWS SageMaker, Azure OpenAI, or Azure AI Foundry, and core services such as S3 and Lambda functions
