Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engineer

Description

We are looking for an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engineer to join a manufacturing organization in Grand Prairie, Texas on a Long-term Contract assignment. This role centers on creating enterprise-ready AI solutions that automate data-intensive processes, with a strong emphasis on autonomous workflows, backend engineering, and scalable system design. The ideal candidate will combine hands-on experience with Claude, C#, Visual Studio, and Microsoft SQL to deliver reliable AI-enabled applications that improve data classification, retention, and archiving outcomes.

Responsibilities:
Build and deploy autonomous AI workflows that streamline data handling, classification, and archival activities across backend platforms.
Create AI-enabled applications using Claude within a .NET and Visual Studio development environment to support production use cases.
Develop and enhance APIs, services, and processing layers that power intelligent data automation solutions.
Translate legacy database logic into modern Entity Framework-based implementations to improve maintainability and enable AI-assisted processing.
Redesign data architecture components to support a shift from tightly coupled database structures toward service-oriented or microservices-based models.
Define and refine prompts, agent behaviors, and orchestration logic to ensure dependable and repeatable AI outcomes.
Improve the efficiency, scalability, and operational cost of AI-driven workflows through performance tuning and architecture decisions.
Work with business and technical stakeholders to establish data governance standards, retention rules, and classification frameworks.
Produce clear technical documentation and share knowledge to support adoption and long-term sustainability of delivered solutions.

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience in backend or full-stack software engineering, with substantial depth in backend development.
Demonstrated success building production-grade AI solutions, including autonomous or agent-based workflows rather than only integrating third-party tools.
Hands-on experience with Claude or a similar large language model in real-world enterprise applications.
Strong programming skills in C# and .NET within Visual Studio; Python experience in mixed .NET environments is also valuable.
Advanced knowledge of relational databases, preferably Microsoft SQL Server, including data modeling and procedural database logic.
Experience using Entity Framework to implement and modernize database-driven application logic.
Proven ability to design and build APIs, backend services, and automation pipelines that support scalable data operations.
Familiarity with Azure DevOps and contemporary software delivery practices in collaborative engineering environments.
