Required Education * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field (Master's preferred), or equivalent experience. ## Description We're hiring a Senior AI Engineer to build the AI core capabilities and tooling that accelerate teams across Ad Technology. You will create shared agents, initializers, registries, and reusable services and web applications that make it fast, safe, and cost-effective for engineering squads to adopt AI. Your work will emphasize common design principles, guardrails, governance, observability, and evaluation, so teams can deliver high-quality AI solutions quickly-without reinventing the basics. This role blends backend engineering, LLM orchestration, and developer enablement. You'll design APIs, SDKs, reusable agents, and web-based solutions that standardize adoption, define patterns for multi-turn interactions, and provide evaluation/traceability so teams can confidently scale AI across Disney Ad Tech. Responsibilities and Duties of the Role: AI Core Design & Principles * Define and implement shared design patterns for agents and services, including context management, retrieval, safety, and evaluation. * Establish reusable blueprints that standardize how AI solutions are built across Ad Tech. Reusable Agents & Tools * Build production-ready agents, initializers, and libraries for common use cases (summarization, troubleshooting, semantic extraction). * Develop high-quality APIs and SDKs that simplify adoption of AI capabilities by other engineering teams. Shared Services & Web Applications * Deliver core services for retrieval, memory, and orchestration, integrated with enterprise and consumer facing systems. * Create internal webapps and dashboards that expose AI capabilities, evaluation metrics, and adoption accelerators. Safety, Governance & Observability * Embed guardrails, compliance checks, and prompt safety into all shared components. * Implement model evaluation and observability frameworks for quality, reliability, and cost monitoring at scale. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Azure AI Foundry for Developers: Open Tools, Scalable Agents, Real Impact](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1541-azure-ai-foundry-for-developers-open-tools-scalable-agents-real-impact) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1148-you-are-not-an-ai-developer) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix)
