Position Summary
The AI Prototyping Engineer builds working applications and technical proofs of concept that test how AI can improve the firm’s work. The engineer connects approved models and data sources, creates usable interfaces, and evaluates whether a concept is reliable enough for a pilot. This role works closely with the TIP Director and Workflow and Automation Specialist to deliver small, testable solutions quickly.

- Design prompts, structured outputs, and retrieval from approved sources. Build tool-using workflows where appropriate, with defined permissions and human review points.
- Use synthetic or approved sample data for early tests. Implement access controls, secure credential handling, and logging suited to each prototype’s scope.
- Create representative test sets and repeatable evaluations for accuracy, unsupported outputs, failure handling, response time, and cost. Record limitations and changes between versions.
- Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate work while reviewing generated code and testing the behavior that matters to users.
- Demonstrate working software frequently, investigate technical blockers, and refine prototypes in response to user feedback and evaluation results.
- Maintain version-controlled code and reusable components. Document setup, dependencies, data flows, test results, and the work needed for a supported production service.
Requirements
- Practical software development experience and examples of working applications; ability to build a small solution across its interface, logic, and data connections.
- Hands-on experience with language model APIs or enterprise AI platforms, prompt design, structured data, and retrieval from source material.
- Working knowledge of APIs, authentication, databases, source control, debugging, and automated testing.
- Ability to balance speed with clear scope and maintainable code, explain technical tradeoffs, and collaborate with nontechnical users.
Preferred Experience
- Experience with professional services workflows, document processing, enterprise identity systems, cloud environments, and evaluations of AI output.

What We Do
The attorneys at Fisher Phillips are committed to providing value to our clients. We do one thing - represent employers in labor and employment matters. Our clients know their legal problems will be treated as business problems and that we strive to help them avoid legal problems. We believe the lawsuit that’s never filed is a better win for a client than a costly defense verdict. Although skilled and tenacious advocates, our attorneys recognize that the most aggressive and expensive approach may not always be the best solution to a client's problem. We seek to identify the client's primary business objective, design a solution to fit the objective, and implement that solution in the most efficient manner possible. By performing compliance audits, providing the right policies, procedures and training, and offering thoughtful advice and counsel, we assist clients in preventing employee claims and lawsuits, government investigations, and union organizing activity. We’re in the client service business and know that many labor and employment problems arise without much warning and require an immediate response. We meet deadlines and provide plenty of advance time where client review of documents is needed. And we communicate with our clients in plain English. Founded in Atlanta, we're national with 37 offices and more than 500 attorneys. Our attorneys practice before state and federal courts and administrative agencies in virtually every state.
