Job description

# Senior AI EngineerEmpatResponds Quickly$$$$An AI consulting group that builds serious, production-grade systems for companies ready to operationalize artificial intelligence across their business. We do not build gimmicks. The main focus is on custom AI solutions that integrate directly into operations and drive measurable results. We're looking for an AI Engineer for one of our clients. This is a hands-on role for someone who works across the full stack to turn ambiguous, real-world business problems into working AI-powered products — not someone who only experiments with AI in isolation. This role is for someone who can take a vague business challenge, independently define the AI-driven approach, and build it end to end — from backend logic to frontend interface. Example use case: building a permitting tool that helps manage government permits (air permits, water permits, etc.). You'll work at the intersection of LLMs, multimodal models, and full-stack product engineering, in a fast-paced, startup-style environment with limited structure and high ownership expectations. **Your responsibilities will include:** - Building LLM-powered tools for complex, often domain-specific product use cases; - Developing multimodal AI applications (vision, audio, or other modalities as needed); - Full-stack feature development combining a Python backend with a React frontend; - Breaking down new, ambiguous business problems into concrete AI-driven engineering solutions; - Working independently to scope, design, and ship AI features without heavy oversight; - Collaborating with technical, infrastructure, and commercial stakeholders on the client side. **What we expect from you:** - Hands-on experience building with LLMs in production; - Comfort working across the full stack — backend (Python) and frontend (React); - Ability to take a vague problem and independently define and build the AI solution; - Strong software engineering fundamentals; - Self-driven mindset — takes ownership and moves without constant direction; - Fast learner who picks up new technical contexts quickly; - Comfortable with ambiguity, fast pace, and limited structure (startup mindset). **Nice to have:** - Experience with multimodal models (vision, audio, etc.); - Prior startup or fast-paced product environment experience; - Familiarity with agentic workflows or tool-use patterns; - Experience in complex domain-specific tooling (e.g. legal, compliance, permitting). **We offer:** - Direct influence on production AI systems used in real business operations; - Close collaboration with the client's product and engineering teams; - Opportunity to build real, shipped AI products — not prototypes.## Required languagesEnglishB2 - Upper IntermediatePublished 30 June59 views·6 applicationsResponse activity: Very highLast responded yesterdaySee stats of candidates who applied for this job See applicant insightsTo apply for this and other jobs on Djinniloginorsignup.* **Only from 5 years of experience*** **Hybrid Remote*** **Worldwide** Countries where we consider candidates* + **English B2 - Upper Intermediate**---* ML / AI---* Employment: Fulltime* Domain: Other* Outsource* Office: United StatesApply for the job
