AI Solutions Engineer - Associate

Role & responsibilities:

• Build working prototypes from loosely defined ideas, with enough polish for a business audience and enough substance for a technical one.
• Package existing firm solutions, including automation AI solutions from existing practices, into demonstrations and case stories using representative data.
• Present work to business leaders, internal teams and prospective clients in support of the pursuit lead.
• Run time-boxed proofs of concept with a defined question, a success criterion and a written recommendation.
• Build and maintain reusable scaffolding and demonstration environments so each prototype is faster to produce than the last.
• Hand off funded prototypes so another engineer can build them to production under platform standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• 4+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years of hands-on experience building solutions with LLM APIs.
• Strong Python and full-stack prototyping skills, with the ability to rapidly build functional, user facing demonstrations using frameworks such as React or Streamlit.
• Solid Azure or AWS cloud fundamentals, including compute, storage, networking, identity, containers, and CI/CD, with the ability to independently stand up demonstration environments; relevant cloud certifications are a plus.
• Working knowledge of REST APIs, JSON, authentication concepts, SQL, and application/system integrations.
• Broad understanding of the modern AI/GenAI stack, including RAG, agents and orchestration, tool calling, structured outputs, document processing, and vector search.
• Strong presentation, communication, and storytelling skills, with the ability to engage both business and technical audiences and translate requirements into compelling solutions.
• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, short pursuit cycles; prior solutions engineering, pre sales, or innovation lab experience and familiarity with automation platforms such as UiPath or Power Automate are advantageous.
