Lead end-to-end delivery of AI-powered applications: define requirements with clients, translate business needs into technical plans, coordinate cross-functional engineering teams, leverage AI tools for prototyping and delivery, track progress, remove blockers, and drive rapid iteration and continuous improvement.
Summary Generated by Built In

Jahnel Group’s mission is to provide the absolute best environment for software creators to pursue their passion by connecting them with great clients doing meaningful work.

We build complex and compelling applications for clients across the country. We’re a fast-growing INC 5000 recognized company, yet we still operate as a close-knit team of 100+ employees.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an AI Delivery Engineer who thrives at the intersection of product, technology, and AI. This is a unique role for someone who is product-minded and client-facing, but technical enough to understand how modern applications are designed, built, and deployed.

You may come from Product Management, Product Ownership, Technical Project Management, Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, or software engineering. Regardless of title, you should be comfortable translating an ambiguous business problem into a technical solution and working directly with engineers to get it built.

This is not a traditional project management role. You should understand APIs, backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and data well enough to participate in technical conversations and use modern AI development tools to rapidly prototype and deliver solutions.

Primary Responsibilities
  • Own the end-to-end delivery of AI-powered applications, automations, integrations, and internal tools

  • Work directly with clients to understand business problems, workflows, and technical requirements

  • Translate business needs into product requirements and actionable technical plans

  • Partner with engineers on application architecture, APIs, data flows, integrations, and deployment

  • Rapidly prototype and validate solutions using AI-assisted development tools

  • Leverage AI throughout discovery, planning, development, testing, documentation, and delivery

  • Manage priorities, remove blockers, and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Identify opportunities to automate workflows and incorporate AI into products and processes

Skills and Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in a technical product, engineering, solutions, or delivery role

  • Experience working closely with software engineers to build and ship applications

  • Strong understanding of modern AI applications and LLM-powered products

  • Active hands-on user of tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar

  • Working knowledge of backend development, including APIs, services, integrations, and application architecture

  • Familiarity with a backend language such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C#, or similar

  • Understanding of SQL, relational databases, and basic data modeling

  • Working knowledge of AWS, Azure, or GCP and how modern applications are deployed

  • Ability to understand technical architecture, data flows, and engineering tradeoffs

  • Strong product mindset, ownership mentality, and client-facing communication skills

  • Passion for experimenting with emerging AI tools and new ways of building software

  • Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal)

Nice to Have
  • Hands-on experience building APIs, automations, integrations, or internal applications

  • Experience with Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker, or CI/CD

  • Experience building with LLM APIs, RAG, agents, tool calling, or AI workflow orchestration

  • Consulting, agency, or client-facing software delivery experience

  • Experience taking products or tools from 0 → 1

Where We’re Looking For It
  • Schenectady, New York

  • 100% Remote for the right candidate

Other Information

The work hours will be approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST, depending on workload, with the occasional late night when a tight deadline calls for it. We work for security-conscious clients, thus background checks will be required. Salary dependent upon experience.

Skills Required

  • 3+ years as a Product Owner, Product Manager, Project Manager, Technical Account Manager, or similar
  • Strong understanding of modern AI applications and LLM-powered products
  • Active user of AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar
  • Experience working closely with software engineering teams
  • Strong ownership mentality and ability to drive projects independently
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Ability to pass background checks required by security-conscious clients
