Production AI Engineer: Build Scalable AI Apps

Falcon Smart IT (FalconSmartIT); Los Angeles (CA); Sur place; USD 190 000 - 260 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Falcon Smart IT (FalconSmartIT) is seeking an AI Developer to build and operate AI-enabled applications for customer experiences, employee productivity, and operations. This production engineering role requires strong software fundamentals, disciplined evaluation, secure enterprise integration, and ownership of quality, latency, cost, observability, and supportability throughout the lifecycle.

You will apply large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, and workflow

Qualifications

• Typically, 10+ years in professional software engineering, including meaningful hands-on experience delivering AI, machine-learning, search, NLP, or data-intensive applications to production; equivalent experience is welcome.
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs, prompt and context design, RAG, embedding/search systems, structured outputs, tool/function calling, and automated evaluation.
• Experience with SQL and document/search stores, containers, CI/CD, source control, cloud services, and observability practices.
• Strong software engineering habits: modular design, automated testing, secure coding, peer review, performance troubleshooting, and production ownership.
• Ability to explain model limitations and engineering trade-offs to technical and nontechnical partners.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, data science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsabilités

• Build production applications using large language models, smaller task-specific models, retrieval-augmented generation, tool/function calling, workflow orchestration, and deterministic business logic where appropriate.
• Develop secure APIs, services, adapters, and event-driven integrations for digital channels, customer-care platforms, enterprise knowledge, billing and entitlement services, content/metadata systems, and internal workflows.
• Implement authorization-aware tool use, input validation, idempotency, timeouts, retries, fallback behaviour, circuit breakers, and human escalation paths.
• Choose prompts, retrieval, rules, conventional machine learning, or fine-tuning based on evidence rather than defaulting every problem to a large model.
