What you’ll be doing...

As an Engineer I - Systems Engineering (Generative AI & Agentic Systems), , you will work at the forefront of enterprise AI—building autonomous agentic frameworks, graph-driven retrieval pipelines, microservices, and edge voice-activation features for critical operational tools. You will be instrumental in deploying intelligent agents that power real-time decision engines (Next Best Action) for our field operations and support teams.

You will be responsible for the following but not limited to:

Engineering Agentic Systems: Architecting, building, and maintaining stateful, multi-agent AI workflows using LangGraph and LangChain to automate complex decision‑making processes.

Building Graph & Data Pipelines: Designing and optimizing data architectures linking Graph Databases (Neo4j) with search and caching layers, using Pandas for data wrangling, feature engineering, and processing unstructured datasets.

Developing APIs & Voice AI Features: Building robust backend services and APIs using Node.js and Python to integrate edge‑compatible voice wake‑up word features and speech processing into mobile applications for field technicians.

Building & Optimizing ML Models: Leveraging PyTorch and TensorFlow to build, fine‑tune, and evaluate machine learning models for natural language processing and decision flows.

Managing CI/CD & MLOps: Automate build and deployment pipelines using Jenkins alongside Docker containerization to deploy scalable microservices.

Delivering Enterprise Solutions: Write production‑grade code, participate in code reviews, and collaborate with team members to turn prototype AI models into reliable, production‑grade applications.

What we’re looking for...

We are seeking a hands‑on engineer who brings a strong technical foundation in AI/ML, practical experience with modern GenAI frameworks, and a desire for long‑term career growth in our local community.

You’ll need to have:

Bachelor’s degree or one or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through work experience and/or military experience.

Experience in software engineering, systems engineering with AI/ML development.
