Description
Jahnel Group’s mission is to provide the absolute best environment for software creators to pursue their passion by connecting them with great clients doing meaningful work.
We get to build some of the most complex and compelling applications for our clients located across the country. We’re a fast-growing INC 5000 recognized company, yet we still work as a very close-knit team (100+ employees). We’re growing like crazy, and if you’re looking for the next place to call home, hit us up for a beer or coffee.
Who We’re Looking For
We're in search of a Lead AI Engineer to join our team right away. Our ideal candidate brings hands-on experience building and deploying AI solutions and a strong understanding of the rapidly evolving AI landscape. We value engineers who pair strong technical foundations with curiosity, creativity, and the ability to quickly prototype innovative AI-powered applications.
Instead of the typical job description, here's a breakdown of tasks and qualities we're looking for in our potential team member:
Primary Responsibilities
- Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications and services that integrate with existing systems and workflows.
- Prototype and iterate on AI solutions rapidly, translating business needs into functional AI features within short development cycles.
- Develop and implement agentic AI workflows (e.g., planning, reflection, tool use) using modern orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph.
- Apply prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques to improve model accuracy, reliability, and performance.
- Prepare and manage multimodal datasets by cleaning, transforming, and structuring complex data sources including documents, PDFs, and images.
- Stay current with the evolving AI ecosystem—evaluating new models, benchmarking performance, and selecting the right tools for each use case.
Skills and Qualifications
- Proven experience building, deploying, and maintaining AI-powered solutions in production environments.
- Strong understanding of modern AI/LLM ecosystems, including model evaluation, benchmarking, and selecting models for specific tasks.
- Experience implementing agentic workflows (e.g., planning, reflection, tool use) and orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph or similar systems.
- Proficiency with web application development using Next.js, React, and Python backend frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask.
- Experience with prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and integrating AI capabilities via REST APIs.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), Databricks, Oracle ERP and agentic AI frameworks.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, agile environment.
Where We’re Looking For It
- Schenectady, New York
- 100% Remote for the right candidate
Compensation Package (Salary Transparency for US Based Employees)
- Salary Range: $120,000 - $175,000+
- Salary is negotiable and the range can be increased based on qualifications, certifications and experience
- Free Health Insurance Option for all (Single, 2 - Party and Family)
- 401k Safe Harbor Plan
- Generous PTO - Maternity / Paternity Leave
- Revenue Sharing Incentive
- Certification Reimbursement and Bounty Programs
Other Information
The work hours will be approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST, depending on workload, with the occasional late night when a tight deadline calls for it. We work for security-conscious clients, thus background checks will be required. Salary dependent upon experience.
