Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # AI Engineer - **Company:** AI FIRST, INC. - **Location:** United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Audit Trail, C Sharp (Programming Language), Code Review, Information Engineering, Python (Programming Language), Svelte, Search Technologies, Software Engineering, SQL Databases, TypeScript, Data Processing, Data Ingestion, ReactJS, Large Language Models, Vue.js, AngularJS, Streamlit Framework, Golang - **Published:** August 6, 2026 - **Apply:** https://computerjobs.com/us/en/mob/job/E31F5B87DB71F32681 ## About the Role Substantial software engineering track record (typically 8+ years) as a hands-on senior individual contributor - someone whose seniority shows up in judgement, not distance from the code. - Production experience with LLM systems, not prototypes: RAG and retrieval design, embeddings and vector search, agent or multi-step orchestration, prompt and context engineering, evaluation. - Strong core engineering in at least one Server Side language (*Python, Java, C#, Go or TypeScript*) plus the ability to build the surrounding system - APIs, pipelines, data models, deployment. - Solid data engineering instincts: SQL, working with messy real-world data, pipeline design, query and schema optimisation where performance matters. - Enough Front End capability to ship a working interface (React, Angular, Svelte, Vue, Streamlit or similar) - you don't need to be a design specialist, but you shouldn't be blocked without one. - Experience delivering in a regulated, confidential or otherwise trust-sensitive environment, where auditability, access control and data handling are constraints from day one. - Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-technical domain experts and turn their language into a shipped feature.

Translate a vague, expert-language problem into something that can be scoped, built and measured. - Make deliberate build decisions on models and deployment - hosted vs. self-hosted, when fine-tuning is worth it, where data can and cannot go, and what the cost and latency envelope is. - Raise the engineering bar in the pod: code review, mentoring, sensible standards, keeping the platform's shared components genuinely reusable. ## Related Videos - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
