AI Integration Engineer

The AI Integration Engineer will design, build, and continuously improve an AI-driven engineering pipeline that enables NXGEN to rapidly integrate edge devices, cameras, NVRs, access-control systems, alarm panels, IoT devices, and other physical-security technologies into our platform.The role combines AI agent development, software engineering, device/API integration, automation, CI/CD, and testing to create a highly automated Device Integration Factory.The long-term goal is to transform traditional manual integrations into an agentic workflow where AI agents can analyze vendor documentation, generate integration code, build and deploy integrations in isolated environments, run automated tests, identify and fix failures, and prepare validated changes for engineering review.The engineer will own the architecture, implementation, and continuous improvement of this platform while keeping human engineers as the final approval authority for production changes.
Responsibilities:

• Design and build an AI-powered Device Integration Factory capable of automating the integration of new vendors and devices
• Develop structured workflows using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex/ChatGPT, LLM APIs, and agent frameworks
• Build AI agents capable of analyzing vendor documentation, SDKs, APIs, protocols, and sample code and converting them into actionable integration plans
• Develop reusable integration templates for REST APIs, WebSockets, TCP, MQTT, HTTP webhooks, RTSP, ONVIF, SIA, SDK-based integrations, Node-RED, and event-driven architectures
• Build AI-assisted capability mapping between vendor-specific functionality and NXGEN’s standard platform capabilities
• Create automated, isolated sandbox environments for safely building and testing AI-generated integrations
• Develop automated testing frameworks covering connectivity, authentication, device management, events, alarms, video, controls, reliability, and failure recovery
• Enable AI-driven test-case generation based on API specifications, device documentation, requirements, and existing integration patterns
• Integrate the AI development workflow with Git, CI/CD, Docker, artifact repositories, automated testing, code quality checks, and security scanning
• Build mechanisms that allow AI agents to create branches, generate and modify code, run builds and tests, troubleshoot failures, and prepare pull requests for engineering review
• Build and maintain an integration knowledge base containing vendor APIs, device capabilities, protocols, previous implementations, test cases, known issues, and lessons learned
• Develop an Integration Planning Agent capable of automatically generating implementation plans for new devices and vendors
• Perform device and protocol analysis when documentation is incomplete, including analysis of SDKs, network traffic, HTTP/WebSocket communication, TCP, MQTT, RTSP, and device logs
• Implement human-in-the-loop controls that identify situations requiring engineering intervention and generate clear escalation packages with evidence and recommendations
• Build observability for the AI integration pipeline, tracking execution time, iterations, failures, human interventions, test pass rates, code acceptance, integration reuse, and AI/API consumption
• Ensure AI-generated code follows security, compliance, and engineering standards, including secure credential handling, sandboxing, dependency scanning, SAST, container scanning, and auditability
• Automate the generation of integration documentation, API mappings, capability matrices, test plans, test reports, troubleshooting guides, and release notes
• Continuously analyze completed integrations and improve reusable patterns, templates, agents, and automation to make every future integration faster and more reliable
