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 a Junior AI Engineer at Ajaia, you will build and ship AI-enabled software across client engagements and internal products, working alongside senior engineers who will review your work and help you grow.\nYou will take clearly scoped tasks, ask good questions, and deliver working code across web interfaces, backend services, LLM integrations, and AI-driven workflows. Over time, you will take on larger pieces of work with less guidance.\nThis is an individual contributor role for an early-career engineer who learns fast, cares about quality, and wants real production experience in applied AI.\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\nBuild and fix frontend and backend features for AI-enabled applications, under the guidance of senior engineers.\nHelp integrate large language model APIs, prompts, and simple AI workflows into products.\nWrite clean, tested code and take part in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback.\nWork with APIs, databases, and cloud deployments on well-defined tasks.\nUse AI tools daily for coding support, debugging, research, test generation, and documentation.\nAsk clarifying questions early and raise blockers quickly.\nKeep documentation, tickets, and status updates current.\nLearn the team's engineering patterns and apply them consistently.\nRequirements\n0-2 years of professional experience, or a strong portfolio of shipped projects (internships, freelance, open source, or personal projects count).\nWorking knowledge of a modern frontend framework (such as React or Next.js) and a backend language (such as Python or Node.js).\nBasic understanding of REST APIs, SQL databases, and authentication.\nSome hands-on experience calling a large language model API (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini) in a project.\nComfortable with Git and GitHub for daily collaboration.\nClear written and spoken English with technical and non-technical colleagues.\nActive daily use of AI tools for coding, debugging, and learning.\nAbility to check AI-generated code for correctness instead of accepting it as is.\nEagerness to learn, take feedback, and improve quickly.\nPreferred Qualifications\nA project that uses retrieval (RAG), embeddings, or a simple AI agent.\nExposure to cloud platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud Platform.\nExperience with PostgreSQL or MySQL.\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 10,000 per year base salary + Performance Bonus\nRemote work with earned flexibility.\nProfessional development opportunities.\nPaid time off.\nWhy Join Ajaia\nYou will start your career building real AI products that reach production, with senior engineers who will review your work and help you grow fast. You will see both client delivery and internal product work, and build the range that strong AI engineers need.\nThe environment rewards ownership, speed, and clarity rather than bureaucracy.\nExperience the Ajaia difference. Let's build what's next.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4758,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Custom Software Development","AI Consulting & Integration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T15:36:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T01:16:41Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ajaia-junior-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ajaia-junior-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T01:16:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2842,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":668887},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668887"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fajaia-junior-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fajaia-junior-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fajaia-junior-ai-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ajaia-junior-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fajaia-junior-ai-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3969594}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ajaia.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3969594},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
