AI Engineer

About

Our client is a major regulated natural gas distribution utility serving millions of customers across a large service territory in the western United States. The organization is in the midst of an enterprise AI transformation — deploying agentic systems, integrating large language models into SAP and operational workflows, and expanding its AI Center of Excellence. The team is growing and actively onboarding both onshore and offshore AI engineering talent.

We are seeking skilled AI Engineers — at both onshore and offshore levels — to design, build, test, and maintain production AI systems within a complex regulated utility environment. Depending on level, you will work on LLM integrations, agentic pipelines, RAG architectures, AWS infrastructure, Copilot extensions, and SAP data integrations.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will implement the architectures defined by the AI Architect, build prompt pipelines and agent workflows, develop integrations, and participate in testing, evaluation, and continuous improvement of AI systems across the enterprise.
