hackajob is collaborating with Version 1 to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.
As an AI Engineer focused on Generative and Agentic AI, you will design, build, deploy, and operate production-ready AI systems, taking ideas from early prototypes through to reliable, enterprise-grade solutions.
You will work hands-on with real customer and internal use cases, owning the full lifecycle from design and orchestration to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
The role emphasizes building intelligent systems that can reason, plan, use tools, and make decisions, rather than standalone models or simple chatbots.
You will apply modern Generative AI techniques and strong software engineering practices to deliver real-world AI outcomes on a scale.
