Position Overview

The AI Engineering Strategist is a hands-on AI systems builder with broad transformation expertise and deep ownership of workflow design and technical delivery.

  • Build production-quality AI agents using tools such as Claude, OpenAI, and other leading platforms.
  • Architect scalable solutions, including LLM integrations, natural language interfaces, and automation platforms.
  • Work with enterprise data and apply knowledge of prompt engineering and data models to deliver reliable, high-performing solutions.
  • Evaluate new orchestration platforms and AI tooling as they emerge, producing clear assessments and adoption recommendations for the team.
  • Present AI solutions confidently to client stakeholders, including translating technical decisions into plain business language for executive audiences.
  • Contribute reusable patterns, components, and documentation that elevate the team's collective capability and make delivery more consistent.
  • Provide constructive guidance to the delivery team, and model strong documentation, SOP, and delivery standards across the team.
