Job Description
Our customer is building a Digital Transformation Organization that will focus on leveraging Data to increase productivity and income across the enterprise. They recently formed their Management Team and now they are approved to begin hiring their technical and functional team members to focus on their primary Use Case, Modern Sales.
Role Summary:
We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to build and support production-grade decisioning and data processing systems in a highly rules-driven enterprise environment.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on Python-based decision pipelines, business-rule implementation, and CI/CD delivery. Exposure to enterprise AI or LLM capabilities may occur when required, but the primary emphasis is on reliable, maintainable, production systems rather than experimentation or research.
Core Responsibilities

• Design, build, and support scalable Python-based processing and decisioning pipelines using PySpark and Pandas
• Translate complex business rules and domain logic into clean, testable, and maintainable decisioning systems
• Build modular, reusable components suitable for orchestrated, production workflows
• Integrate enterprise AI or LLM services when needed, including basic prompt/template configuration and structured output parsing
• Apply standard safety and compliance controls (e.g., PII handling, input/output validation)
• Integrate internal and external APIs with robust error handling and retry strategies
• Implement data validation, structured logging, and monitoring to support production observability and troubleshooting
• Participate in Git-based development, including branching, pull requests, code reviews, and conflict resolution
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, including release workflows and deployment monitoring
• Support and troubleshoot live production systems

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong, hands-on experience with Python engineering for production systems
• Advanced proficiency with PySpark and Pandas
• Proven experience implementing business rules, decision logic, or rule-driven systems
• Experience working with Agentic AI systems or AI-assisted workflows
• Solid understanding of Git-based delivery models
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, including CI/CD pipelines and deployment monitoring
• Experience supporting enterprise production workloads

Nice to Have

• Experience in utilities, energy, or other rules-heavy domains
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (ADF, Airflow, etc.)
• Prior exposure to applied AI systems in enterprise environments
