Senior AI Engineer

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Applied Generative & Agentic AI:

You'll be building the agents and GenAI systems that CI's advisors, analysts, and operations teams actually rely on day to day — not prototypes that stall out after the demo.

• Architect and build production-grade intelligent systems and applications using existing LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) through API integration, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

• Design, prototype, and lead development of agentic AI systems capable of multi-step reasoning, task decomposition, and tool use to automate and support complex business workflows.

• Contribute to the design of a reusable, scalable AI platform (shared tooling, agent frameworks, and infrastructure) rather than one-off point solutions, so capabilities can be reused across use cases.

• Building web app AI solutions using frameworks such as React or Streamlit.

Monitoring & Improvement:

• Set technical direction and best practices for GenAI and agentic solution design, including evaluation methodology, guardrails, and reliability of LLM-powered systems.

• Drive continuous iteration and improvement of models and LLM-powered tools based on performance metrics, cost, and user feedback.

​

Technical Leadership & Best Practices:

• Lead design and code reviews, championing best practices around experimentation, reproducibility, and responsible AI.

​

QUALIFICATIONS:

Education:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field.

​

Experience:

• 4–8+ years of experience in a data science, machine learning, or AI engineering role, including hands-on experience delivering production systems.

• Demonstrated experience designing, building, and shipping agentic AI systems involving multi-step reasoning, task decomposition, and tool use.

• Experience designing around real-world infrastructure limitations—such as rate limits, quota management, retries/backoff, and cost-per-call—when architecting LLM-powered systems at scale.

​

Skills:

• Deep understanding of prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, and evaluation of generative output, including tradeoffs across approaches.

• Proficiency in Python and ML/AI libraries (e.g., Scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow).

• Hands-on skills in designing and orchestrating agentic workflows (multi-step reasoning, task decomposition, tool/function calling).

• Excellent communication skills; able to present complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.

• Experience with cloud-based environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP). ​
