AI Engineer

(Multiple states)

Full Time

Mid Level

Join Expedient's AI CTRL product team as an AI Engineer where you'll build the agentic workflows, Retool applications, and data integrations that turn enterprise AI services into working, deployed solutions for our clients. You'll work hands-on with the full AI CTRL stack alongside a team of AI developers. Deep AI research background isn't required — bring your development expertise, Python instincts, and curiosity to scale out.

What You'll Do:

Design & Build Agentic Workflows:** Develop and maintain automated workflows using tools that support the AI CTRL Agentic Workflow Engine (AWE) that execute multi-step client business processes end-to-end
Build Client-Facing Applications:** Create apps for internal ops and client use cases — workflow catalogs, usage dashboards, billing reporting, automation, and custom AI-powered tools
Integrate Enterprise Systems:** Design, configure and maintain MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integrations connecting AI models
Build Data Connector Pipelines:** Develop connectors between client data sources and the vector store; ensure data flows correctly into AI-ready formats
Ensure Data Quality:** Implement validation and cleansing processes that directly impact AI model accuracy
Collaborate & Document:** Partner with the AI Dev engineering team on platform improvements, runbooks, integration guides, and workflow documentation at scale

What We're Looking For:

2–4 years in software development, systems integration, AI/automation engineering, or a closely related technical role. Prior experience at a managed service provider, SaaS company, or enterprise technology team is a strong plus.
Building apps, workflows, database queries, REST API connections, and JavaScript transforms — able to deliver without engineering hand-holding
Working knowledge of LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini): prompt construction, tool use/function calling, token management
Python scripting: automation, file processing, API calls, JSON handling
REST API consumption and light API development (FastAPI or equivalent)
SQL fundamentals — can write queries for reporting and Retool data connections
Familiarity with **RAG concepts**: chunking, embedding, vector search, context window management
Kubernetes basics: reading pod logs, understanding namespace structure, construct of containers
Understanding of SSO/OIDC at a configuration level (Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin
Self-directed: picks up a backlog item, researches an unfamiliar connector API, and delivers working code
Documentation instinct: writes the runbook before calling something done; updates the guide when the process changes
PM-adjacent thinking: understands that a feature isn't done when the code works — it's done when the client can use it without a support ticket
Optimize & Innovate: Troubleshoot pipeline issues, enhance performance, and stay current with emerging data engineering technologies
Adaptable in fast-paced environments, strong ownership mentality, entrepreneurial mindset, excellent communicator, passionate about solving business problems with data
Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent practical experience

Location & Compensation:
Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Columbus, or Memphis. Hybrid work model. Regional travel may be required.
