Who We Are
About the IDC
The Senior AI Engineer is a dual role combining technical leadership with hands-on AI engineering. Operating at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution, this role is responsible for interfacing directly with client business stakeholders to identify, evaluate, and prioritize high-value AI opportunities - and then leading the hands-on engineering to build and deploy those solutions.
In this role, you will engineer agentic systems - open-loop, conversational, tool-calling, and beyond, integrate AI and machine learning models with custom enterprise AI workflows, create rigorous evaluation frameworks, and deliver end-to-end, production-ready AI products. You will also support facilitation of discovery workshops, map operational pain points into structured AI specifications, and rapidly move from concept to working prototypes and production-grade software.
Rapid prototyping skills are essential, but we are not looking for someone who only knows how to vibe-code flashy demos. Successful candidates will keenly appreciate the difference between a proof of concept and a production system, know what level of engineering rigor each stage demands, and be capable of owning the full journey from prototype through production.
