Job details
This employer is hiring an AI Solutions Engineer for a direct hire role based in Kennett Square, PA (2 days onsite per week). This position sits at the intersection of software engineering and business consulting, focused on building practical AI solutions that improve real-world workflows. You’ll be working heavily with Python, modern web technologies, and large language models to create scalable applications—from early prototype through full production deployment.
This is a high-impact, client-facing role where you’ll partner directly with stakeholders to identify inefficiencies and turn them into AI-driven solutions. The environment is fast-paced and entrepreneurial, ideal for someone who enjoys owning problems end-to-end and seeing their work drive measurable business outcomes. If you like moving quickly, working close to the business, and shipping real AI products—not just experiments—this is a strong fit.
Required Skills & Experience
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with some client-facing or stakeholder interaction
- Strong Python development experience and ability to build production-ready systems
- Hands-on experience working with LLMs (prompting, RAG, or similar patterns)
- Proven ability to take solutions from concept/prototype into production
- Experience designing scalable systems and integrating with existing applications
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with non-technical teams
- Experience with APIs, data pipelines, and structured/unstructured data
Desired Skills & Experience
- Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript or full-stack development
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or semantic search
- Background in consulting, startups, or fast-paced environments
- Industry experience in financial services, real estate, or private equity
- Experience building internal tools, automation workflows, or AI-driven products
