Grow your career alongside great people, where authenticity is welcome, successes are celebrated, and potential is nurtured.

Your Impact

As an AI Enablement Engineer, you will help CivicPlus turn AI into practical, secure, and scalable solutions that improve productivity, quality, and decision-making across the business. You’ll partner across Professional Services and Tech Support teams to identify high-value opportunities, build AI-powered tools and workflows, and support adoption in a way that aligns with company standards, governance, and business goals.

• Participate as a collaborative member of an Agile team and contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices and delivery standards.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language such as Python or JavaScript.
• Experience working with APIs, integration patterns, and structured and unstructured data.
• Familiarity with modern AI/ML concepts, including large language models, prompt design, evaluation, and model or service integration.
• Experience with cloud platforms and developer tooling used to deploy, monitor, and maintain technical solutions.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to balance speed, quality, security, and maintainability.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience documenting workflows, standards, and technical solutions for long-term maintainability.
• Preferred experience with workflow automation platforms, data pipelines, governance controls, experimentation, or internal enablement and change management.
• Preferred experience supporting responsible AI practices, model evaluation, or AI operations in a business environment.
• Experience automating implementation, services delivery, or technical support workflows.
