Job Summary

We are looking for a versatile and forward-thinking Senior Software Engineer to support and accelerate AI adoption across the organization. This is not a traditional project-based role—instead, you will act as a technical enabler and problem solver, partnering with business teams to bring AI-driven ideas to life.

You will work across a variety of use cases, from building new AI-powered solutions to deploying and scaling existing prototypes, often in non-standard and evolving environments. Success in this role requires adaptability, strong engineering fundamentals, and hands-on experience with modern AI tools and cloud platforms.

Responsibilities and Duties

  • AI Enablement & Solution Delivery

    • Collaborate with business stakeholders to evaluate, design, and implement AI-driven solutions.
    • Support both greenfield builds and deployment of existing AI prototypes.
    • Work with modern AI tools such as Claude, Codex, Cline, and similar platforms to accelerate development and experimentation.
    • Contribute to prompt engineering, workflow orchestration, and AI solution optimization.
    • Help define best practices for AI adoption across the organization.

    Software Engineering & Development

    • Design, develop, and maintain scalable applications using Java or Python.
    • Build APIs, services, and integrations to support AI-driven workflows.
    • Ensure high standards for code quality, performance, and maintainability.
    • Work across different layers of the stack depending on project needs.

    Cloud & Architecture (AWS)

    • Design and implement solutions in AWS, leveraging cloud-native architectures.
    • Contribute to architectural decisions with a focus on scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
    • Deploy and manage applications in cloud environments, with exposure to services such as:
      • AWS Lambda (serverless)
      • Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) (nice to have)
    • Apply best practices for cloud security, monitoring, and resource optimization.

    Adaptability & Problem Solving

    • Operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-changing environments with evolving requirements.
    • Quickly ramp up on new tools, frameworks, and AI technologies as needed.
    • Act as a technical consultant/partner to non-engineering teams.
    • Balance speed and quality while delivering practical, business-focused solutions.

    Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

    • Work closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Data, and Business stakeholders.
    • Share knowledge and help upskill teams on AI capabilities and tools.
    • Contribute to improving engineering practices, tooling, and workflows.
    • Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and solution brainstorming.

Qualifications and Skills

  • 5–8+ years of experience in software engineering.
  • Strong proficiency in Java or Python (both is a plus, but not required).
  • Hands-on experience working with AI tools and platforms (e.g., Claude, Codex, Cline, or similar).
  • Experience building and deploying applications in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
  • Solid understanding of software architecture, APIs, and system design.
  • Ability to work in ambiguous, non-standard, and evolving environments.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work directly with business stakeholders.

 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience with LLMs, NLP, or AI/ML workflows.
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering and AI orchestration frameworks.
  • Experience with AWS Lambda, EKS, or other cloud-native services.
  • Knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience integrating AI solutions into enterprise systems.
  • Background in rapid prototyping or innovation-focused teams.
