About The Opportunity

Our client, a leader in AI and Technology, is looking for a skilled AI Software Engineer to join their team for a 6-month engagement as a founding member of their new "Agentic Team." This project involves collaborating to develop, test, and launch revenue engines using cutting-edge AI and automation, taking software from ideation to deployment in a fast-paced environment. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

Automate processes aggressively using LLMs, Python/JS scripts, APIs, and virtual servers.
Create secure, efficient backend services and agent pipelines in Python, Javascript, or other object-oriented programming languages.
Develop and maintain feedback loops for your AI Agents.
Work directly with customers and internal Go-To-Market (GTM) teams to understand needs and iterate quickly.
Create user-focused frontend experiences using React & Typescript/Javascript.
Quickly adapt to new technologies, coding languages, and domains.
Proactively raise issues that might impact delivery commitments.
Participate in Agile environments using Scrum software development practices, automated unit testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and Git version control.

Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

BA/BS degree or equivalent work experience.
Deep expertise in building AI Agents and prompt engineering, React, Typescript/Javascript, and Python, Java or other object-oriented programming languages. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., LLMs for coding assistance) to accelerate software delivery, integration of third-party APIs, and public cloud (Azure or AWS).
Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.

Preferred Qualifications:

Excellent problem solving skills.
Experience having gone “zero to one” in a fast-paced environment.
Curiosity and ability to learn new technologies and tool sets.
A product mindset, with a focus on understanding customer problems and iterating on solutions.
Strong communicator across Slack, async docs, and live conversations.
