Job Description

AI Development Engineer – Contract

Proximity Works

• Translate ambiguous product or business requirements into clear technical specifications, system designs, and validation plans. • Build, maintain, and scale AI-powered production systems and agentic applications. • Design workflows where LLMs, VLMs, tools, APIs, retrieval systems, and traditional microservices work together reliably. • Use AI-assisted development tools while maintaining code quality, security, performance, and long-term maintainability. • Prevent AI-generated code bloat, dead code, and unnecessary complexity. • Build observability, evaluation, testing, and monitoring systems for AI-generated outputs. • Optimize prompts, model selection, workflows, and inference cost. • Apply Responsible AI principles including safety, privacy, fairness, transparency, and accountability. • Work with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, security, data, and design. • Mentor engineers to move from implementation-heavy development to system orchestration and AI-first engineering practices.

Job Requirements

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on experience building production-grade systems.
  • Experience in one or more modalities such as:
  • Vision/images, video, text, audio, speech.
  • Deeper knowledge and hands-on experience with LLMs, VLMs, multimodal AI systems, and foundation model architectures.
  • Ability to actively find, read, understand, and implement ideas from AI research papers.
  • Experience building or integrating agentic applications, AI copilots, RAG systems, workflow automation, or multimodal GenAI systems.
  • Strong understanding of system design, APIs, data flows, testing, observability, security, and production reliability.
  • Practical experience with prompt engineering, context engineering, model evaluation, benchmarking, and AI workflow orchestration.
  • Ability to convert ambiguous requirements into structured specs, implementation plans, and validation frameworks.
  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, communication, ownership, and learning agility.

Benefits

  • Best-in-class salary: We hire strong talent and compensate accordingly.
  • Proximity Talks: Meet and learn from designers, engineers, product leaders, and AI practitioners.
  • Continuous learning: Work with a world-class team and stay close to the latest in AI, engineering, and product development.
  • High-impact work: Build AI-first systems and products used at scale by global clients.
