Descrizione del lavoro

Groundswell is seeking an engineer who can turn ambiguous business problems into working AI solutions, and who recognizes when AI is not the answer. This is a client-facing, hands-on role; you will work with stakeholders to design, build, demonstrate, and deploy production-grade AI capabilities.

The role spans client delivery, internal product development, rapid proofs of concept, and internal enablement, requiring comfort moving between workstreams and being the most AI-literate person in

Competenze

• 7+ years building and shipping production software.
• 2+ years building apps integrating large language models (Prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, structured extraction, tools, agent patterns).
• Experience evaluating AI system quality with metrics and deployment decisions.
• Strong programming in Python, TypeScript, or SQL with API integration and imperfect data handling.

Mansioni

• Lead discovery with business and technical stakeholders to understand workflow and success criteria.
• Define measurable success criteria before building, including accuracy targets and acceptance conditions.
• Recommend against AI when a simpler solution is appropriate (rules, processes, interfaces).
• Select the AI pattern appropriate to the problem (extraction, classification, summarization, retrieval, or agentic).
• Make and defend architecture decisions on where workloads run (quality, cost, latency, security, authorization).
• Build the complete capability (prompt design, retrieval, outputs, APIs, data handling, UI).
• Build evaluation sets and iterate based on results.
• Determine readiness for deployment and production rollout.
• Operationalize capabilities with governance, logging, and traceability.
• Produce documentation covering solution, limitations, validation, and failure handling.
• Monitor quality, cost, latency, and drift; optimize over time.
• Set direction for clients and build proof-based roadmaps.
• Mentor engineers to raise AI capability and judgment.
• Contribute reusable patterns to avoid starting from scratch.
• Move between client delivery, internal product work, rapid POCs, and enablement.
