AI Engineer

We are seeking a talented and motivated AI Engineer to join our Connected Insights team. In this role, you will design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems that generate business and scientific insights, particularly in competitive intelligence and strategy contexts. You will work with both foundational and state-of-the-art AI methods, leveraging structured and unstructured data to create scalable, reliable, and high-impact AI-driven solutions. This includes developing LLM-powered applications, multi-agent systems, and advanced retrieval architectures. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and internal stakeholders, translating strategic needs into robust AI products., Design and deliver production-grade AI systems, including LLM-powered applications for strategy teams. Architect and implement multi-agent systems and tool-calling frameworks supporting strategy workflows, data collection, and human-in-the-loop controls. Develop and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and vector-based retrieval systems over external datasets. Collaborate within agile, cross-functional teams to align AI solutions with business objectives. Engage stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into scalable AI architectures. Implement evaluation frameworks to assess model accuracy, coverage, consistency, interpretability, and bias. Monitor, maintain, and optimize AI models in production environments to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance. Document models, architectures, processes, and lessons learned, contributing to internal AI capability building. Ensure compliance with ethical standards, privacy regulations, and fairness guidelines in AI development and deployment.
