Job summary

Groundswell is seeking an AI-enabled software engineer who will own capabilities end to end— from discovery to production. You will specify requirements, design the technical approach, build the solution, and ensure operational readiness and governance for client engagements.

You will lead conversations with stakeholders, evaluate AI system quality, and mentor teammates in AI patterns such as extraction, classification, summarization, retrieval, or agentic workflows.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building and shipping production software.
• At least 1 year of hands-on experience integrating large language models (prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, structured extraction, tools, agent patterns).
• Own a capability end to end from ambiguous requirement to production.
• Experience evaluating AI system quality with metrics and evidence-based deployment decisions.
• Strong programming ability in Python, TypeScript, or SQL across the full app stack.
• Lead requirements conversations with non-technical stakeholders and translate to technical approaches.
• Explain tradeoffs between accuracy, cost, latency, and complexity to engineers and executives.
• Excellent written communication for client-facing docs and design rationale.
• Ability to work independently through ambiguity and drive delivery with minimal direction.
• Willingness to teach and develop others.

Responsibilities

• Lead requirements conversations with business and technical stakeholders, covering workflow, decisions, and acceptance criteria.
• Define technical approach and defend it; select AI pattern suitable to the problem.
• Advise against AI when simpler solutions exist (rules, process changes, interfaces).
• Define measurable success criteria before building (accuracy targets, human review thresholds).
• Build the complete capability end to end (prompt design, retrieval, outputs, APIs, UI, data handling).
• Create evaluation sets from real data and iterate based on results before deployment.
• Make architecture decisions balancing quality, cost, latency, security, and authorization.
• Operationalize capabilities with governance, logging, and drift monitoring.
