Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for an exceptional Senior AI Engineer with 4+ years of software engineering experience and a proven track record delivering Generative AI solutions to join Modus’s Engineering Consulting team
- You're an engineer who thrives in client-facing environments and can own problems end-to-end, from a vague business need to a working system in production
- Your core strength is deploying and operationalizing AI
- You have hands-on experience deploying large and small language models (LLMs/SLMs) in the cloud and on-premises, and you're comfortable with techniques like prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and agentic architectures (tool use, multi-agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop workflows)
- You understand how to evaluate model outputs and build reliable systems around inherently probabilistic components
- Familiarity with classical ML (prediction, classification) and data science fundamentals is a desirable plus
- A background in cloud services for machine learning, text extraction, speech recognition, or computer vision will broaden the engagements you can contribute to
- Proficiency in Python is a must
- Experience with other programming languages like Java, Scala, Rust or R is highly desirable, as it will enable you to work on a broader range of engagements
- You’ll work side by side with cloud architects, DevOps specialists and front-end developers, so some knowledge and experience in any of these would help in collaboration
- You should be comfortable presenting work to both technical and non-technical audiences, driving alignment with stakeholders and between technical and business outcomes, leading technical teams and cross-collaborating with teams in adjacent domains
- Experience in supporting sales and marketing efforts is a desirable plus
- LLM deployment and agentic AI: experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, Google ADK), agent tooling and protocols (e.g., MCP, function calling), and evaluation/observability libraries. Cloud deployment of LLM-based applications
- Cloud AI services: experience with managed AI services such as Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, Rekognition, etc. or equivalents on other platforms
- Machine learning frameworks: familiarity with frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch is a plus
- AI-assisted development tools: experience with AI-powered coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) and agentic coding workflows
- Cloud platforms: solid experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred); infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform) is a plus
- Version control and DevOps: Git, GitHub/GitLab; DevOps and CI/CD experience is a big plus
- Programming and scripting languages: Python, Bash; knowledge of other languages is a plus
- Data storage and querying: SQL and NoSQL databases
What the job involves
- No two days look the same in this role
- You might spend one day whiteboarding an architecture with a client, the next drafting a proposal for a new engagement, and the next deep in code shipping an LLM-powered feature
- As a senior engineer on our consulting team, you'll move fluidly between:
- You'll be designing and building AI solutions: scoping, architecting, and implementing applications powered by generative AI, from proof of concept to production deployment
- Working directly with clients: understanding their problems, proposing solutions, and translating business needs into technical plans
- You're the trusted technical advisor in the room
- Hands-on engineering: writing production-quality code, integrating LLMs and ML models into real systems, and deploying them to the cloud
- Collaborating across disciplines: partnering with cloud architects, DevOps specialists, and front-end developers to deliver end-to-end solutions
- Supporting business development — contributing to proposals, scoping engagements, and supporting sales and marketing efforts when needed
