About this role
The AI Engineer (Software) will design, build, and ship production-grade software across the full stack, integrating LLM APIs into live applications and managing token limits and latency. The role involves using AI coding assistants as a standard daily practice to accelerate the software delivery lifecycle, including AI-generated tests, debugging, and code review. The engineer will work on real client programs across various industries, building application layers and APIs that connect full-stack systems to agentic backends. The position offers a development track toward agentic and forward-deployed engineering, with access to vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams. The candidate must be proficiency in at least one primary backend language like Python, Java, or TypeScript, and have a understanding of web technologies and cloud fundamentals. The engineer will own delivery end-to-end from design through to production support in Agile sprint cycles.

Read full description
We are building the next generation of AI-native engineering talent engineers who use AI as a core part of how they work, not as an add-on. As an AI Engineer (Software), you will design, build, and ship production-grade software across the full stack, using AI-assisted tooling as standard daily practice alongside your core engineering skills.
You will work on real client programs across industries, building production-grade software that connects to and supports agentic AI systems — understanding how your full-stack work integrates with agent architecture, LLM APIs, and enterprise AI pipelines. This is not a stepping-stone role: it is a core engineering function in the most in-demand part of the market, with a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Engineer program for those who develop agentic depth.
We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level of organizational complexity — combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams, structured AI certification pathways, and a clear development track toward agentic and forward-deployed engineering.
