Job Summary

This practice is built for the way enterprise software actually gets made now: small senior pods AI agents doing much of the build and outcomes in weeks where traditional delivery approaches took months. We build digital products AI agents intelligent workflows and modernized platforms that help organizations operate differently across healthcare and life sciences manufacturing energy and utilities transportation and consumer industries. None of it is pilots or demos. The solutions we build run in production and solve problems that matter to our clients businesses.

As an AI Engineer youll work directly with clients to shape design and build those solutions. Working alongside Product Strategists and Data Engineers youll take products from discovery through deployment combining technical depth with a practical understanding of what clients need to achieve. On some engagements we continue to run what weve built giving you the opportunity to stay close to the product and see the impact of your work long after go-live.

This is a hands-on engineering role. Most of the code here is written by agents. That does not make this a supervision job. It moves the engineering upstream where strong engineering judgment becomes even more important. Youll write code review agent-generated outputs and shape the architecture controls and acceptance criteria that determine whether a solution succeeds in production. Requirements do not always arrive fully formed and part of the role is helping define the problem while continuing to move delivery forward.

As part of the Digital Products & AI team you can expect to:

  • Architect the elements that determine whether AI solutions succeed in production including tool selection memory and context management guardrail design and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Build and deploy the technical components that power agentic systems including retrieval pipelines MCP services and integrations and the systems that connect AI capabilities to enterprise data and processes.
  • Modernize platforms and applications around current business needs rebuilding where necessary rather than simply moving legacy functionality onto newer technology.
  • Design security and operational resilience into solutions from the start including access controls identity management deployment guardrails and oversight of automated actions.
  • Break down complex problems into deliverable components helping shape scope sequencing and implementation approaches that enable rapid delivery.
  • Create reusable patterns skills and tooling that strengthen future engagements and contribute to the growth of the capability.
