We pride ourselves on transforming intricate data problems into smart, scalable solutions that drive value and operational efficiency. About The Role We are seeking a highly skilled AI Engineer with a proven track record in building agentic AI systems leveraging large language models (LLMs). In this role, you will be instrumental in designing, developing, and deploying AI agents that can call tools, query client data, reason over information, and generate actionable insights for users. Your work will involve integrating cloud-based model APIs with local models hosted within client networks, ensuring compliance with data security and regulatory requirements. As an AI specialist, you will collaborate directly with client engineers and stakeholders, translating complex problems into scalable proof-of-concept solutions that evolve into maintainable systems. This position offers an exciting opportunity to shape our AI practice and work on cutting-edge projects with high-profile clients in regulated industries. Qualifications The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience in building AI agents that utilize LLMs, whether cloud-hosted or locally deployed. Proficiency with AI-assisted coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar is essential. A strong foundation in software engineering principles—including version control, testing, code review, and CI/CD—is required. Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, are vital for engaging with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Candidates should be capable of working independently, asking insightful questions, and delivering progress efficiently. A genuine interest in the future of agentic AI, evidenced through personal projects or contributions, will set you apart. Preferred qualifications include Claude Certified Architect credentials, experience in financial services or other regulated data-heavy domains, and familiarity with MCP server development, time series databases, and deployment of models in secure environments. Responsibilities Your core responsibilities will include building and deploying LLM-backed AI agents capable of tool use, retrieval, orchestration, and evaluation. You will design systems that operate across cloud APIs and local models, making informed decisions based on client constraints. Utilizing AI-assisted development tools will be a key part of your workflow, helping to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality. You will translate vague client requirements into detailed, scoped proof-of-concept solutions, then evolve these into robust, maintainable systems. Explaining your design choices to diverse audiences—technical teams and business stakeholders alike—will be essential. Additionally, you will contribute to creating reusable accelerators and frameworks to streamline future engagements, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the team. Benefits At Data Intellect, we offer a comprehensive package designed to support your professional growth and well-being. You will have the opportunity to shape our AI practice directly, gaining exposure to senior stakeholders at prominent clients early in your tenure.
