About the Role

We are looking to hire an Applied AI Developer to help build and support our growing AI capabilities. This is a hands-on, early-career role for a strong coder who wants to develop their skills by building real AI-powered applications, agents, and automations that deliver value across the business.

You will work closely with our Sr. AI Engineer and AI consultants, who set the architecture and standards — while you focus on writing clean, reliable code and bringing AI use cases to life. This position is ideal for someone with a computer science background and solid software-building experience who is eager to specialize in AI.

Key Responsibilities

Hands-On AI Development

• Build and iterate on AI-powered applications, agents, and automations under the guidance of senior team members

• Help develop RAG pipelines, copilots, and business automations using platforms like Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio, and Claude

• Write, test, and refine prompts, guardrails, and simple evaluation checks

• Rapidly prototype AI use cases and turn approved prototypes into working features

Coding & Software Engineering

• Write clean, well-structured, maintainable code in Python (or a similar language)

• Participate in code reviews — both giving and receiving feedback — and apply team coding standards

• Build, test, and debug software components, integrations, and APIs

• Document your work so solutions are easy to maintain and hand off

Data & Integration Support

• Help connect AI solutions to enterprise data sources, including Snowflake, through APIs and pipelines

• Assist in building embedding pipelines, vector search, and data-prep tasks that make data AI-ready

• Write SQL queries to retrieve, validate, and shape data for AI use cases

• Follow established data governance, security, and compliance practices

Collaboration & Growth

• Partner with the AI Solutions Architect, engineers, and business teams to deliver solutions

• Adopt architecture, security, and responsible AI standards defined by senior team members

• Continuously learn new AI tools, frameworks, and techniques, and share what you learn

• Support deployed solutions by helping monitor quality, cost, and reliability

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience

• 0–3 years of software development experience (internships, co-ops, and substantial academic or personal projects count)

• Solid coding fundamentals and proficiency in Python or a similar language

• Demonstrated experience building software — applications, tools, scripts, or integrations

• Familiarity with core AI/ML concepts, LLMs, and working with APIs

• Working knowledge of SQL and relational data

• Strong problem-solving skills and a genuine eagerness to learn

• Good communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to AI frameworks or SDKs (OpenAI, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or similar)

• Experience with a cloud platform, especially the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem

• Hands-on exposure to RAG, prompt engineering, or agent-based workflows

• Familiarity with Snowflake or another modern data platform

• Academic, hackathon, or personal projects involving AI/ML

• Understanding of responsible AI principles (privacy, bias, security)

What You’ll Bring

• A hands-on builder mindset and curiosity about how things work

• Willingness to learn quickly, get feedback, and grow alongside senior engineers

• Attention to detail and pride in writing quality code

• A focus on delivering real, working solutions that create business value
