Associate - AI Solutions Engineering - Managed Services

Responsibilities

Job Description:

Build working prototypes from loosely defined ideas, with enough polish for a business audience and enough substance for a technical one.

Package existing firm solutions, including automation AI solutions from existing practices, into demonstrations and case stories using representative data.

Present work to business leaders, internal teams and prospective clients in support of the pursuit lead.

Run time-boxed proofs of concept with a defined question, a success criterion and a written recommendation.

Build and maintain reusable scaffolding and demonstration environments so each prototype is faster to produce than the last.

Hand off funded prototypes so another engineer can build them to production under platform standards.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or a related field.

Strong Python and full-stack prototyping skills, with the ability to put a working interface in front of a user quickly.

Cloud fundamentals on Azure or AWS, including compute, storage, networking, identity, containers and CI/CD, sufficient to stand up a demonstration environment independently.

Working knowledge of REST APIs, JSON, authentication concepts and SQL.

Breadth across the current AI stack: retrieval-augmented generation, agents and orchestration, tool calling, structured outputs, document processing and vector search.

Enough evaluation discipline to judge whether a prototype is viable or performed well by chance.

Sound data handling practices, including the use of synthetic or masked data in demonstrations.

Strong presentation and storytelling skills with both business and technical audiences.

Responsiveness to short pursuit timelines.

Good To Have

Prior solutions engineering, pre-sales or innovation lab experience.

Familiarity with automation platforms such as UiPath / Power Automate and demonstration interfaces as React / Streamlit.

Relevant Microsoft Azure or AWS certifications.
