About the Opportunity

Brooksource Technology Services is hiring an AI Engineer to support an Integrated Risk Analytics team at a leading pharmaceutical company in Indianapolis, IN. You'll join a small, high-performing group of analytics and technology professionals building a modern web application that helps the team track and manage risk, document ownership, and stakeholder relationships across the business. This is a pilot with real room to grow: if it succeeds, the solution will scale to a much larger audience.

In this role you'll build the AI features of the application using enterprise-hosted large language models, including a chat experience over program insights and an MCP server that exposes data to LLM clients. This is an applied role: model training, fine-tuning, and MLOps are out of scope.

What You'll Do

• Build LLM-powered workflows embedded directly in the application.
• Design and build a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline over program insights.
• Build an MCP server that exposes data and insights to LLM clients.
• Deliver role-based chat so users only see answers scoped to their access.
• Build the APIs that support these AI features.
• Own prompt and workflow engineering, including evaluation and quality testing of outputs.
• Collaborate with a full-stack engineer, data engineers, and analytics architect.

What You'll Bring

• Significant hands-on experience building LLM applications in production.
• Experience building RAG systems, including chunking, embeddings, retrieval, and vector stores.
• Strong prompt engineering and LLM workflow design skills.
• Experience evaluating LLM output quality.
• Backend API development experience (MCP experience a plus).
• Comfortable with Git, Docker, and AWS.
• Experience using AI coding tools such as Claude Code or similar.

Nice to Have

• Experience building MCP servers.
• Experience implementing role-based access in AI or chat features.
• Agentic workflow experience.
• Familiarity with React or full-stack development.
• Regulated industry experience.
