Role Overview

We are looking for a highly experienced, hands-on AI Engineering Consultant who combines deep software engineering expertise with practical experience building and delivering Agentic AI solutions and AI-driven development workflows.

This is an Individual Contributor (IC) role. You will remain technically hands-on while working directly with clients to understand business problems, design agentic solutions, build working implementations, and conduct technical consultations and workshops.

A strong engineering foundation in Java, .NET, or enterprise application development and recent hands-on experience applying Generative AI and Agentic AI to real-world software engineering is expected.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and demonstrate Agentic AI solutions for enterprise engineering and business use cases.
• Run hands-on agentic coding workflows using Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, or equivalent AI coding/CLI tools.
• Build software where AI agents generate significant portions of the code while you guide architecture, provide context, review outputs, debug issues, and take the solution through delivery.
• Design effective agent workflows, context management, tool integrations, orchestration, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
• Work with CLAUDE.md, shared context frameworks, persistent project instructions, and multi-session/multi-agent development setups.
• Systematically troubleshoot and debug non-deterministic agent behavior and outputs.
• Apply LLMs, Agentic AI and AI-assisted engineering across the software development lifecycle.
• Conduct client discovery sessions, technical consultations, solutioning discussions, demonstrations, and workshops.
• Translate business problems into practical AI/agent architectures and working implementations.
• Explain complex AI solutions and engineering approaches clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Evaluate emerging AI engineering tools and patterns and apply them to enterprise software development.

Required Experience

• 16 17+ years of overall software engineering experience, with strong hands-on technical depth.
• Strong engineering background in Java, .NET, or modern enterprise application development.
• Recent hands-on experience with Generative AI, LLMs, Agentic AI, or AI-assisted software engineering.
• Practical experience using Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, or comparable agentic coding tools.
• Demonstrated experience building real solutions using AI agents - not just AI strategy, presentations, or basic Copilot usage.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, APIs, cloud-native applications, development workflows, testing, debugging, and production engineering.
• Ability to independently take a business problem and design, prototype, demonstrate, and explain an Agentic AI solution.
• Strong consulting and client-facing communication skills with experience conducting technical workshops and solution discussions.
