Who You Are: We are seeking a highly practical AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on turning real business problems into scalable AI solutions - not academic research. You will work directly with the CTO and product leaders to deliver high-impact AI capabilities across products, operations, and internal platforms. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys owning systems end-to-end: from data ingestion and model integration, to APIs, evaluation, and real-world deployment. What You’ll Do: - Build LLM-powered systems (RAG, agents, copilots, automation tools) - Design data pipelines for structured and unstructured data (PDFs, APIs, databases) - Implement retrieval systems (vector DBs, embeddings, semantic search) - Integrate and evaluate models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, open-source) - Ship APIs and microservices (FastAPI / Flask / Node) - Implement prompt engineering, evaluation, and guardrails - Deploy on cloud (AWS / GCP / Azure / IBM) - Monitor accuracy, latency, cost, and failure modes - Work directly with stakeholders to turn fuzzy needs into shipped systems Qualifications: Must Have: - Strong Python (and Typescript/Node) - Experience with LLMs and modern AI stacks - RAG systems and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Milvus) - API development (FastAPI / Flask / Express) - SQL + intermediate data engineering - Cloud fundamentals (Docker, CI/CD, basic infra) Nice to Have (High ROI Skills): - IBM Watsonx (all components) - LangChain / LlamaIndex - HuggingFace models & pipelines - Open-source LLMs (LLaMA, Mistral, Mixtral) - Basic ML evaluation techniques - Prompt testing frameworks - Kubernetes (bonus) - Knowledge graphs / embeddings tuning We’re looking for someone who: - Thinks like a builder, not a researcher - Can ship MVPs in days, not months - Understand tradeoffs (accuracy vs cost vs latency) - Is comfortable with ambiguity - Can operate without heavy product management - Enjoys being close to real users and business problems What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days) - Shipped at least 2 production AI features - Built one full RAG system end-to-end - Set up evaluation metrics and monitoring - Become the CTO’s go-to execution partner for AI What We Offer: - Direct access to leadership - Real ownership of systems - Exposure to real business problems - Freedom to choose tools and architectures - Ability to shape the company’s AI strategy in practice At Jolera, we are committed to creating a diverse, equal and inclusive. Our goal is to attract and retain the best talent while embracing diversity in all its forms.
