AI Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled
AI Engineer
to work directly with enterprise customers, helping them design, implement, and scale next-generation AI solutions. This role sits at the intersection of
engineering, customer success, and strategic business outcomes
. You will embed with client teams, translate their goals into technical architectures, and deploy cutting-edge generative AI systems that drive measurable value.

The ideal candidate combines
deep technical expertise in AI/ML
with the ability to collaborate directly with business leaders, creative professionals, and technical stakeholders. You will serve as both an engineer and a strategic partner, ensuring AI adoption leads to tangible impact across customer organizations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Customer Deployment & Integration
  • Work directly with enterprise clients to architect, build, and deploy AI solutions that integrate into their existing creative and business workflows.
  • Design and optimize large-scale AI pipelines (e.g., data ingestion, model deployment, fine-tuning, inference optimization).
  • Develop proof-of-concepts and scalable production systems that demonstrate the power of generative AI.
  • Collaborate & Innovate: work with Technical Architects, Engagement Managers, and Product teams to define customer requirements/use-cases, run technical workshops, co-create GenAI solutions.
  • Prototype Rapidly: build proof-of-concepts in days, iterate based on feedback, drive quick wins. UX/UI and prototyping skills are helpful.
  • Engineer End-to-End: design, build, and deploy full-stack applications / microservices integrating Firefly APIs, extensibility platforms, headless CMS, etc.
  • Bridge to Product: capture field-proven use cases and feed them back into the product & engineering roadmaps.
  • Automate & Scale: develop reusable components, CI/CD pipelines, governance & best practices for repeatable delivery.
  • Operate at Speed: work in fast-paced, evolving environments; own delivery sprints; adapt to changing trends.
  • Documentation / Knowledge Sharing: share playbooks, prompt patterns, internal tooling, etc.
  • Strategic Advisory
  • Translate customer business objectives into technical AI strategies and roadmaps.
  • Advise customers on how to adapt processes, governance, and adoption models for AI-driven outcomes.
  • Identify opportunities where AI can unlock new business models, workflows, or creative capabilities.
  • Engineering Excellence
  • Customize and extend foundation models through fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and domain-specific adaptation.
  • Build APIs, SDKs, and integration layers to connect AI systems with enterprise applications.
  • Ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for performance, reliability, security, and compliance.
  • Collaboration & Evangelism
  • Partner with product and research teams to provide customer feedback that informs model development and platform strategy.
  • Mentor client and partner engineers to accelerate adoption of AI technologies.
  • Act as a thought leader in customer workshops, executive briefings, and industry discussions.

Qualifications
