About The Position

As an AI Engineer, you will integrate AI-enabled capabilities into existing software systems by connecting models, inference endpoints, agent orchestration components, and intelligent autonomous workflows to production applications. You will implement AI features using established software engineering patterns, ensuring these capabilities operate reliably, securely, and efficiently within distributed systems. In this role, you will help evolve AI solutions from traditional LLM-based interactions to autonomous, goal-oriented, and multi-agent systems by leveraging agent orchestration frameworks, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Knowledge Graphs (KGs), and fine-tuned Small Language Models (SLMs). You will contribute to evaluation and monitoring approaches, refine integration workflows, collaborate with cross functional teams, and develop scalable AI functionality that brings intelligent, production-ready AI solutions from concept into real-world environments. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required. Join us. The world can’t wait.
