We’re looking for a part-time Applied AI Engineer to help build the next generation of enterprise AI. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, product leaders, and AI researchers to develop production-grade AI capabilities that solve real-world problems across defense, manufacturing, customer support, and other knowledge-intensive industries.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build AI applications powered by LLMs, RAG, semantic search, and AI agents.


• Develop intelligent pipelines for document ingestion, knowledge extraction, and retrieval.


• Improve answer quality through prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and retrieval optimization.


• Build and optimize production AI services using Python and modern AI frameworks.


• Work with agentic development tools including Claude Code, Cursor, and AI-assisted coding workflows.


• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code with a strong focus on quality and reliability.


• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data science teams to rapidly prototype and ship new capabilities.


• Evaluate emerging AI models, tools, and techniques to continuously improve the platform.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience building AI, machine learning, or NLP applications through industry, open-source, or research.


• Strong experience with Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, and semantic search.


• Solid understanding of NLP, machine learning, and modern deep learning techniques.


• Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar ML frameworks.


• Strong Python development skills and experience building production software.


• Experience working with APIs, vector databases, and AI application frameworks.


• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building AI systems for enterprise knowledge management or technical documentation.


• Experience with AI agents, tool calling, and agentic workflows.


• Familiarity with knowledge graphs, OCR, document parsing, or multimodal AI.


• Experience deploying AI applications using modern MLOps practices.


• Experience evaluating and benchmarking LLM performance.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation.


• Flexible part-time schedule.


• Remote work within the United States.
