Gen AI Engineer

Job Title : Gen AI Engineer

Location : Houston, Texas (Oniste)

8+

What you will do:

• Build agentic features, hands-on. Work alongside senior engineers to design and ship AI-powered remediation capabilities: agent workflows, retrieval pipelines, evaluation loops.

• Write production code daily. Java/Spring Boot microservices and AI integrations on AWS.

• Learn the full lifecycle. From an idea in a design doc to something running in production, instrumented, monitored, and improved based on real usage.

• Bring fresh eyes. You''re closer to the newest models, frameworks, and techniques than engineers who''ve been heads-down in one stack for a decade — we want that perspective in the room, not just deference to seniority.

• Grow fast. Work directly with senior engineers who''ll push your technical depth, and take on more ownership as you earn it.

Our stack

• Java / Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, IAM, CloudWatch). AI stack: AWS Bedrock and AgentCore, MCP for tool integration, RAG pipelines with vector and graph-based retrieval, LLM-as-judge evaluation. Some Python and Go at the edges. You won''t know all of this — we''re more interested in how fast you pick things up than what''s already on your resume.

What you will bring:

• 4+ years building software professionally — you''ve shipped real features, not just coursework or side projects, and you understand what "production" demands.

• Genuine curiosity about AI/agentic systems — you''ve built something with LLMs or agents, even outside of work: a side project, a hackathon entry, an experiment that didn''t ship. We want to hear about it.

• Solid engineering fundamentals — distributed systems basics, APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS). You need to know what good code and good design look like.

• You experiment and iterate ideas quickly and bring new perspectives 

 
Nice to have

• Experience with multiple LLM APIs or agent frameworks• Python or Go • POCs using AI for coding, automation, or data work • Contributions to open source AI/ML tooling.
