This is a greenfield opportunity-you won't be inheriting legacy systems or maintaining someone else's architecture. You'll be designing and building from the ground up. You'll own the full stack of decisions: platform selection, model strategy, RAG architecture, agent design, observability, and cost optimization. You'll shape how we build AI at this company for years to come. If you've been waiting for a role where you can build something meaningful without fighting through layers of tech debt and organizational inertia, this is it., * Own AI architecture across cloud platforms (AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI)-you'll make the calls on what we build and how * Design RAG systems end-to-end, from document ingestion and chunking strategy through retrieval optimization and generation quality * Build agentic systems using modern patterns: MCP (Model Context Protocol), tool-use, function calling, and orchestration frameworks like LangGraph * Define observability and evaluation so we know our AI is actually working in production-not just demo-ing well * Manage cost at scale-model selection tradeoffs, token economics, and budget forecasting as we grow * Establish guardrails and compliance patterns, particularly for healthcare data and HIPAA requirements * Mentor and guide implementation-level developers as the team grows * Ship production systems-this isn't a strategy-only role; you'll write code and deploy real solutions ## Related Videos - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [AI in High-Stakes Industries: Lessons Learned](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100253-ai-in-high-stakes-industries-lessons-learned) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
