This is an implementation-focused role centered on assigned use cases and department-level workflow improvements. The engineer evaluates whether a business need can be met through existing enterprise platforms, configuration, integration, workflow redesign, or vendor capability, and will escalate larger product, roadmap, architecture, or custom-development decisions to AI leadership.

- Minimum 5 years of experience in software engineering, systems integration, solutions engineering, technical implementation, AI-enabled solution delivery, or a related technical role.
- Experience configuring, building, implementing, or integrating enterprise software platforms, API integrations, data pipelines, and custom AI/LLM-powered applications.
- Strong full-stack or backend skills including Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, REST APIs, cloud services, and modern software implementation practices.
- Familiarity with generative AI tools, LLMs, system prompt design, retrieval-based workflows, knowledge bases, AI agents, connectors, and related implementation patterns.
- Experience documenting workflows, translating stakeholder needs into technical requirements, and evaluating practical implementation options.
- Robust interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills with the ability to work independently while collaborating with subject-matter experts as needed.
- Familiarity with data privacy, cybersecurity, governance, responsible AI, and enterprise software approval processes preferred.
