What You'll Do

Discover and scope with clients/ stakeholders

- Run discovery sessions with clients/ stakeholders to understand workflows, data, systems, and pain points.

- Identify where AI and automation can create measurable business value.

- Translate business needs into clear technical scope, solution designs, and delivery plans.

Build and deploy AI solutions

- Design and build AI-powered applications, agents, and automations using LLMs, RAG, and tool-calling workflows.

- Integrate solutions with systems such as ERP, CRM, data platforms, and internal APIs.

- Deliver fast prototypes and proofs of concept, then take the successful ones to production.

- Ensure solutions are secure, reliable, observable, and maintainable.

Own outcomes in the field

- Measure results after deployment and iterate based on real usage and feedback.

- Support pre-sales with technical demos, solution input, and effort estimates when needed.

Shape Gradion's AI capability

What We Are Looking For

Experience

- Professional software engineering experience, with solutions shipped to production.

- Hands-on experience building applications with LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini APIs) and related patterns such as RAG, agents, and tool calling.

- Experience in client-facing roles such as consulting, agency, solutions, or implementation work.

Technical skills

- Comfortable across backend and frontend.

- Solid with APIs, system integration, databases, and data pipelines.

- Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), plus Docker and CI/CD.

- Familiarity with AI frameworks and tooling (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases, evaluation tools).

Skills and approach

- Explains technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
