AI Practitioner / Forward Deployed Engineer
About the Role
The AI Practitioner (Enterprise GPT Platform) is a hands-on, customer-facing role on the Enterprise Insights & GPT Platform team at AHEAD. You will design, build, and run production AI applications on our Enterprise GPT Platform — custom agents, workflows, connectors, and integrations — that fundamentally transform the way AHEAD does work. You'll orchestrate our platform with best-in-class AI tools and emerging technologies to create a cohesive, scalable AI ecosystem. You own the full solution lifecycle: discovery, design, build, rollout, and ongoing optimization.
What You'll Do:
- Build on the Enterprise GPT Platform, designing, implementing, and deploying custom AI agents, workflows, connectors, and integrations.
- Orchestrate the platform with best-in-class AI tools and emerging technologies to create a cohesive, scalable AI ecosystem.
- Own the full solution lifecycle: discovery, design, build, rollout, and ongoing optimization.
- Work directly with business stakeholders to identify opportunities and translate them into production-ready AI solutions.
- Monitor, evaluate, and continuously improve AI systems in production.
Required Experience:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data/Analytics, or equivalent experience.
- Hands-on experience building and deploying AI applications, including custom agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and LLM-powered workflows.
- Familiarity with agent and orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen).
- Strong software engineering fundamentals.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure, APIs, and integration development.
- Excellent communication skills to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
How You Work:
- Operate as a builder and advisor, not just an implementer.
- Thrive in ambiguous environments and take ownership end-to-end.
- Continuously learn and adapt to new AI technologies and patterns.
