Job Description

AI Solution Consultant

Armis is seeking talented, motivated AI builders to join our Strategic Initiatives team as part of a new AI Center of Excellence. Reporting to the SVP of Strategic Initiatives, this team designs and ships AI-native solutions — agents, assistants, and reusable skills — that advance Armis's security mission and multiply the impact of teams across the company.

This is a builder role. We're looking for engineers fluent in modern AI application development — agent frameworks, harnesses, tool use, prompting, retrieval, and evaluation —notmachine learning engineers. You will be expected to train foundation models / frontier models . You will compose capable, production‑grade AI systems on top of frontier models, get them into people's hands, and bring the rigor to prove they actually work.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and bring to production ready: models, AI agents, assistants, and reusable skills that solve real problems for Armis and its customers.
  • Turn ideas into working MVPs fast, then partner with engineering to harden them into reliable, production‑ready systems.
  • Build evaluation into everything you ship — define what "good" means for each solution, measure it, and hold the bar. Due diligence through rigorous evals is non‑negotiable, not an afterthought.
  • Compose agentic workflows that are secure by construction, using secure harnesses along with appropriate isolation, guardrails, and controls.
  • Select and integrate the right frameworks, tools, and models for each job, and turn what works into reusable patterns and best practices for the COE.
  • Also be a part of the COE Consult team to help across the organization.
  • Document what you build and how it should be used, operated, and evaluated.
Qualifications

Qualifications

  • An AI Expert in Multi-agentic solutions.

  • Deep, hands‑on familiarity with modern agent frameworks and developer tooling (agent SDKs such as the Top 3 providers SDKs (Claude, OpenA and Google), thorough understanding and use of SKILL.md skills standard, plus the judgment to know which to reach for when.
  • Strong evaluation discipline: building test sets, defining metrics, and measuring quality, safety, and reliability before and after deployment.
  • Proficiency in Python and comfort integrating APIs, tools, and cloud services (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred
