AI Engineer

Allied Solutions is seeking an AI Engineer to architect, fine-tune, and deploy AI solutions that streamline operations and surface insights.

Responsibilities

• Configure, connect, and extend AI-enabled solutions using enterprise AI platforms, commercial products, automation tools, integrations, and lightweight supporting components.
• Design and build secure, reusable connections so enterprise AI platforms can access approved data, services, and business actions via APIs, connectors, orchestration tools, and emerging standards such as Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Build and validate proofs of concept to confirm feasibility, usability, performance, and expected value.
• Advance assigned solutions through testing, production readiness, launch, and operational handoff aligned to delivery priorities and team practices.
• Troubleshoot implementation issues and coordinate with platform, architecture, security, data, vendor, and business partners to address constraints.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders and the AI Architect to understand workflow, users, pain points, desired outcomes, and measures of success.
• Translate an approved use case into implementable requirements and acceptance criteria, including required data, access needs, dependencies, and delivery constraints.
• Validate future-state workflows through demonstrations, prototypes, and user feedback, including surfacing practical implementation considerations and appropriate human decision points.
• Provide estimates, technical findings, risks, and implementation options to support solution and delivery decisions.
• Maintain strong knowledge of Allied’s enterprise platforms, approved technologies, data assets, integration capabilities, and reusable services.
• Evaluate candidate capabilities via hands-on research and experimentation, including generative AI, predictive machine learning, rules-based automation, analytics, and existing platforms.
• Document feasibility, performance, integration needs, implementation effort, limitations, and support considerations with the AI Architect and platform owners to ensure enterprise patterns and guardrails are followed.
• Develop solution recommendations based on business fit, implementation speed, security, integration, cost, scalability, and ongoing support needs.
• Implement applicable Responsible AI, privacy, security, legal, accessibility, and data-governance requirements.
• Define and execute evaluations appropriate to the solution type, including business effectiveness, usability, accuracy, precision and recall where applicable, groundedness, bias, drift, failure handling, human oversight, and escalation.
• Implement monitoring, feedback mechanisms, documentation, and support procedures.
• Account for maintainability, platform alignment, vendor dependencies, technical debt, and operational overhead in implementation decisions.
• Partner with the Enablement Lead and business teams to provide guidance, demonstrations, training, and other support to drive adoption.
• Gather usage information, user feedback, business results, and relevant platform or vendor changes to recommend improvements, simplification, scaling, replacement, or retirement.
• Create and share reusable configurations, workflow patterns, implementation documentation, and lessons learned.
