A production-focused AI consulting group is hiring a Senior AI Engineer for a client, to take full ownership of AI systems from architecture to performance, building scalable LLM pipelines and knowledge systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build distributed data pipelines (Apache Beam, Python) for large-scale document and model processing
  • Implement horizontally scalable LLM-powered extraction workflows across thousands of entities
  • Build runner-agnostic pipelines that run across multiple environments (local, cloud, on-prem)
  • Design and implement entity resolution and cross-referencing systems with confidence scoring
  • Architect and build graph-based Knowledge Bases (Dgraph or similar), including schema design and query optimization
  • Develop pluggable LLM extractor frameworks (classification, relationships, completeness, document linking)
  • Build abstraction layers for LLM providers (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, local models via Ollama/vLLM)
  • Optimize LLM usage for cost, latency, and reliability in production environments
  • Design and implement backend service layers (Go-based APIs) connecting AI pipelines with agent systems
  • Ensure observability, debugging, and performance monitoring across distributed AI systems
  • Package and deploy systems using Docker (docker-compose, containerized environments)
  • Collaborate directly with client teams on integrations, validation, and production rollout

Requirements

  • 5-8+ years of experience in AI Engineering, Data Engineering, or Applied ML Infrastructure
  • Expert-level Python
  • Strong experience with distributed processing frameworks (Apache Beam preferred; Spark/Flink acceptable)
  • Hands-on experience integrating LLMs in production (prompting, orchestration, provider abstraction)
  • Experience with graph databases (Dgraph, Neo4j, JanusGraph, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, parallel processing, and large-scale data pipelines
  • Solid SQL and data modeling fundamentals
  • Experience with Docker and containerized deployments
  • Experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS/Azure acceptable)
  • Strong backend/system design mindset
  • English level: B2+ (C1 preferred)
  • Availability to overlap with US business hours

Nice to have

  • Working experience with Go (for API/service layer contributions)
  • Experience with local LLM inference (Ollama, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM)
  • Experience deploying systems in airgapped or restricted environments
  • Background in defense, aerospace, or complex enterprise systems
  • Familiarity with MBSE / SysML tooling and model-based data (XMI, Cameo, etc.)
  • Experience with document parsing pipelines (Docling)

Soft skills

Ability to work independently and take ownership without micromanagementStrong problem-solving skills in complex, ambiguous environmentsStrong communication and collaboration skills
