About the job
🚨 Lead AI Engineer
📍 Remote U.S. (Preference for Eastern or Central time zones)
đź’° $160,000 - $245,000
You’ll work closely with business stakeholders, identify high-value operational problems, design AI/data/software solutions, and deploy them into production.
They’re looking for high-agency builders who can operate without a perfectly defined spec, challenge assumptions, map value streams, and build practical systems that drive measurable business impact.
What you’ll be doing:
• Architecting and deploying AI-enabled operational solutions
• Building data pipelines, ontologies, and decision-support applications
• Integrating machine learning models into production workflows
• Developing full-stack applications and APIs
• Working with advanced enterprise AI/data platforms such as Palantir Foundry
• Partnering directly with business and technical stakeholders
• Mentoring junior AI engineers and helping shape engineering best practices
What they’re looking for:
• 7+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong experience across AI/ML systems, data engineering, and production software
• Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry is highly preferred
• Strong Python skills
• Experience with PySpark, distributed computing, model deployment, APIs, CI/CD, DevOps, and MLOps
• Full-stack experience with frameworks such as React or Angular
• Ability to think critically, work autonomously, and turn complex business problems into scalable technical solutions
Master’s degree in CS, Data Science, Statistics, or related field preferred
Why this is compelling:
You’ll get the ownership and pace of a startup-style AI buildout, but with the stability, data, complexity, and resources of a long-standing global enterprise.
The business problems already exist. The operational complexity is real. The opportunity is to build AI systems that create tangible impact at scale.
If you’re an AI/Data/Software Engineer who enjoys building production-grade systems, working close to the business, and solving messy real-world operational problems, I’d love to connect.
