AI Solutions Engineer

The AI Solutions Engineer, builds, tests, and supports software and data components used in enterprise applications, customer-data solutions, and AI-enabled workflows. Working within a cross-functional engineering squad, the engineer implements APIs, application services, data pipelines, integrations, automated tests, and production-monitoring capabilities. The role is suited to an engineer who can independently deliver well-defined components and is developing the skills required to lead increasingly complex solution designs. The engineer will gain practical exposure to cloud platforms, data processing, Customer Data Platforms, and enterprise AI technologies while working with Senior, Staff, and Principal engineers.
