Software Directory; Ohio; Remote; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Hexion is seeking an AI Applications Developer to lead enterprise agentic AI and automation initiatives across the organization from OH/US. You will architect, scale, and govern AI-powered applications, partner with product teams, and ensure safety, governance, and measurable business value.

Responsibilities include building AI-enabled apps for multiple functions, tuning RAG pipelines, exposing enterprise systems via safe actions, and delivering user interfaces with Copilot Studio, Power Apps,

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field — or equivalent hands‑on experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development or data/analytics engineering experience, including recent hands‑on work with LLMs or AI‑powered applications.
• Strong proficiency in Python and comfort with TypeScript or JavaScript for front‑end work.
• Working knowledge of at least one AI/agent framework: LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or CrewAI.
• Practical experience with LLM APIs (Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or Hugging Face) and structured outputs.
• Hands‑on RAG experience — document parsing, chunking, embeddings, and hybrid retrieval — with at least one vector database.
• Comfort integrating with enterprise APIs such as ERP, BI platforms, SharePoint or Microsoft Graph, Teams, and REST/GraphQL services.
• Solid SQL skills and working familiarity with a modern data platform (Databricks, Snowflake, or equivalent).
• Self-directed learner who stays current with a fast-moving field, can teach themselves new frameworks with minimal guidance, and ships working software without hand‑holding.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and documentation skills; comfortable demoing to business stakeholders and gathering requirements directly from subject‑matter experts.
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD, and basic DevOps workflows.

Responsibilities

• Build AI-powered applications that deliver agentic and generative AI capabilities to business users across commercial, supply chain, manufacturing, and R&D functions.
• Develop and tune Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines over unstructured content such as product specs, Safety Data Sheets, standard operating procedures, emails, and meeting transcripts — using parsing (Azure Document Intelligence, Unstructured), chunking, embeddings, hybrid search, and reranking.
• Create domain-specific tools and connectors (including Model Context Protocol servers) that expose enterprise systems — ERP, planning, analytics, content management, and custom APIs — as safe, well-documented actions for AI agents to call.
• Build user-facing surfaces with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Teams apps, Streamlit, or React — including chat interfaces, approval workflows, and result-review screens.
• Implement data validation and guardrails at every tool boundary: schema checks, business-rule validation, content safety, PII handling, and explicit user confirmation for write operations.
• Partner with product owners and subject-matter experts to gather requirements, translate workflows into agent execution plans, prototype rapidly, demo, gather feedback, and iterate.
• Support deployment and operations of the applications you build: package for production on Azure AI Foundry or Container Apps, add tracing and logging, monitor usage and quality, and respond to production issues.
• Apply prompt engineering and evaluation to measure application quality — build test cases, run LLM-as-judge evals, and track regressions over time.
• Document use cases, tools, and playbooks so applications remain maintainable and extensible by the team.
• Collaborate across globally distributed teams through code reviews, pair programming, and shared technical standards.
