We operate across four core pillars: AI Strategy and Advisory, AI Engineering and Automation, Workforce Training and Enablement, and Custom Product Development.\nIn addition to client services, Ajaia builds proprietary AI products, copilots, and vertical solutions that solve high-value industry problems. This dual model allows us to translate hands-on implementation experience into scalable products while continuously refining our approach through real-world deployment.\nOur operating model combines deep technical execution with practical change management, enabling enterprises to deploy secure, compliant, and high-impact solutions that drive measurable operational value. From executive roadmapping to production-ready systems and workforce upskilling, Ajaia embeds intelligent tools directly into the workflows that matter most.\nMission: Help organizations win the AI moment.\nPosition Overview\nAs an AI Engineer at Ajaia, you will build AI-enabled software across both client engagements and internal product initiatives where technical speed, adaptability, and execution quality matter.\nYou will own features from start to finish: take loosely defined requirements, clarify the real problem, and ship robust solutions across web interfaces, backend services, LLM integrations, and AI-driven workflows. You will also set up the infrastructure, deployments, and security those features need to run safely in production.\nThis is an individual contributor role for someone who builds with autonomy while working closely with product, delivery, and client-facing teams, and who helps newer engineers along the way.\nEvery role at Ajaia is AI-forward. We expect engineers to use AI tools in daily workflows across research, implementation, debugging, testing, and documentation. AI usage is a core execution capability, not optional tooling.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nOwn AI-enabled features end to end for client delivery systems, internal platforms, and products.\nWork across frontend implementation, backend logic, API design, and database operations.\nBuild and integrate AI capabilities into production systems: LLM APIs, prompt workflows, retrieval (RAG), agents, and automation.\nSet up and maintain the infrastructure your features run on: cloud services, environments, and configuration.\nOwn deployments for your features: CI/CD pipelines, releases, rollbacks, and environment management.\nApply security best practices in daily work: secure authentication, secrets management, access control, and protection against common vulnerabilities (such as the OWASP Top 10).\nUse AI tools regularly for coding support, debugging, technical research, test generation, and documentation.\nTurn ambiguous requests into clear technical tasks, estimates, and delivery plans.\nIdentify risks early and unblock execution through pragmatic decisions.\nReview code from peers and help junior engineers with patterns and practices.\nKeep systems maintainable, secure, observable, and ready for continuous iteration.\nRequirements\n2-5 years of hands-on experience building and shipping software in professional environments.\nSolid experience with a modern frontend framework (such as React or Next.js) and a backend stack (such as Python/FastAPI or Node.js).\nExperience with APIs, relational databases (such as PostgreSQL or MySQL), and authentication.\nExperience building features on top of large language models (prompting, tool use, retrieval, or agent workflows).\n Infrastructure: hands-on knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or Google Cloud Platform), containers (Docker), and core services such as compute, storage, networking, and managed databases.\n Deployments: experience building and running CI/CD pipelines (such as GitHub Actions), deploying to production, and handling releases and rollbacks safely.\n Security: working knowledge of secure coding, authentication and authorization (OAuth, JWT), secrets management, encryption, and common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10).\nOwnership mindset and ability to deliver without highly detailed requirements.\nComfort managing multiple priorities or workstreams in a fast-moving consultancy or product environment.\nProficiency with GitHub and modern developer tooling.\nStrong written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nActive daily use of AI tools for planning, implementation, debugging, testing, and documentation.\nAbility to critically evaluate AI-generated output and hold a high standard for correctness and reliability.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience shipping AI features to production users.\nFamiliarity with frameworks such as LangChain, vector databases, or LLM evaluation.\nExperience working in startup, consultancy, or fast-iteration environments.\nSchedule and Location\nThis is a fully remote role within approved hiring locations, subject to Ajaia hiring and compliance requirements.\nWorking schedule follows Eastern Time hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET, including holidays.\nTechnical Requirements\nReliable wired internet connection with at least 100 Mbps speed.\nComputer or laptop with Intel Core i5 or Ryzen 5 processor or higher.\nMinimum 8 GB RAM and at least 128 GB available storage.\nDual-monitor setup preferred.\nWindows 10 or macOS (latest version).\n1080p webcam and working microphone.\nBackup solutions for power and internet interruptions.\nBenefits\nCompensation: USD 12,500 per year base salary + Performance Bonus\nRemote work with earned flexibility.\nProfessional development opportunities.\nPaid time off.\nWhy Join Ajaia\nThis role gives you exposure to a wide range of applied AI and software delivery challenges while keeping you close to real implementation work. You will build across client and internal initiatives, work directly with operators and technical leaders, and grow toward senior ownership.\nThe environment rewards ownership, speed, and clarity rather than bureaucracy.\nExperience the Ajaia difference.
