Lead AI Engineer

About the job

Delayed schedules and budget overruns plague the software industry, with nearly a third of projects missing their original timelines because of legacy development methods. In this landscape, conventional coding approaches fall short of the accelerating demand for speed, reliability, and quality in software delivery. IgniteTech distinguishes itself through the deployment of advanced Generative AI ... technologies that fundamentally transform how software is built. This position transcends typical AI use cases aimed at incremental gains; it centers on leading large-scale, strategic initiatives that harness AI to drive substantial improvements in efficiency and innovation. As part of this team, you will design and implement AI-powered systems that shorten development cycles, minimize defects, and produce solutions with exceptional scalability, establishing new benchmarks for the industry. This Opportunity Is Ideal For You If You Have: • Built code modules that integrate state-of-the-art LLMs into software products (e.g., support chatbots, API connectors) • Augmented legacy platforms with predictive analytics or personalized recommendation engines using automated AI tooling • Leveraged AI to quickly resolve recurring bug fixes and feature requests (e.g., real-time translation or content personalization) This position is designed for seasoned professionals who have delivered meaningful Generative AI solutions in production environments. If you have not already completed work of this scope, this role is not suitable. What You Will Be Doing: • Building New AI Products and Features: Fine-tune large language models to develop entirely new AI-driven products and modular components that integrate seamlessly into existing systems or serve as the foundation for new offerings, as demonstrated by our team's recent work on www.eloquens.ai. • Automating Internal Processes: Deploy advanced AI methodologies to automate internal operations and workflows. Lead AI Engineer Key Responsibilities: • Drive faster product launches and elevated customer satisfaction through ongoing AI-driven enhancements. Basic Requirements: • AI-First Mindset (if you instinctively write code first and use AI tools afterward to check or refine your work, rather than leading with AI, this role is not for you). • At least 1 year of experience as a full-stack developer (you must possess both front-end and back-end development skills). • Extensive experience using GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev). • Proven track record of successfully deploying Generative AI solutions that delivered significant quantitative impact. • Demonstrated experience applying different LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business challenges. • A clear understanding of when and why to select particular LLM models for various tasks.
