- We require 2+ years of experience building or deploying AI, ML, GenAI, LLM, RAG, agentic AI, data science, or automation solutions.
- We require hands-on experience with programming languages and frameworks such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, FastAPI, Flask, React, LangChain, LlamaIndex, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar technologies.
- We require experience integrating APIs, data sources, model providers, workflow tools, and cloud services into working demos or prototypes.
- We require working knowledge of responsible AI, security, data handling, privacy, and enterprise deployment considerations.
- We require a bachelors degree or equivalent work experience.
- We prefer experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google/Gemini, Azure, AWS, GCP, Databricks, Snowflake, vector databases, model registries, and MLOps/LLMOps tooling.

- We prefer the ability to travel as required for client and internal engagements.
- We rapidly build demos, prototypes, proofs of concept, and MVPs that bring AI use cases to life for clients and account teams.
- We translate client problems into working technical concepts using models, agents, data, workflows, APIs, integrations, and user experience patterns.
- We support discovery workshops, executive demos, technical deep dives, proof-of-value sessions, and partner enablement activities.
- We partner with Solution Architects to ensure prototypes align to scalable architecture, delivery paths, security expectations, and operational requirements.
- We work with ecosystem partners to showcase differentiated capabilities across OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google/Gemini, cloud, data, and enterprise platforms.
- We package prototypes into reusable assets, demo scripts, technical collateral, setup guides, reference architectures, and handoff materials.
- We validate technical feasibility, data dependencies, integration complexity, user experience assumptions, and implementation risks early in the sales cycle.
- We help accelerate opportunity conversion by making AI solutions concrete, credible, and client-specific.
- We contribute lessons learned, reusable code, prompts, agent patterns, and implementation guidance back into the global FDE knowledge base.
