• Partner with business stakeholders across the organization to identify repetitive, tedious, and high‑friction workflows that can be improved using AI and automation.
• Translate business problems into technical solutions, define implementation plans and success metrics, and choose the right tools and patterns for each use case.
• Apply software engineering and SDLC best practices to deliver reliable, secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions.
• Evaluate and select the right tools and patterns for each use case, including LLM workflows, agents, prompt‑based solutions, APIs, and scripting.
• Create reusable components, documentation, and standards, and measure impact through efficiency gains, adoption, and business outcomes.
• Measure solution impact through efficiency gains, time savings, adoption, quality improvements, and business outcomes.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, automation engineering, solutions engineering, or a similar hands‑on technical role.
• Experience with AI tools and platforms such as OpenAI, Gemini, Copilot, AI agents, LLM workflows, prompt engineering, retrieval workflows, and related evaluation methods.
• Experience working directly with non‑technical stakeholders and moving from ambiguous business needs to well‑scoped, well‑executed solutions.
• Strong communication skills, high ownership, service orientation, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, retrieval workflows, and evaluation of LLM‑based systems.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience supporting GTM, operations, support, finance, or other business functions through technical solutions.
• Experience working in regulated environments or in organizations where reliability, maintainability, and governance matter.
• BSc/BA in Computer Science or related field or equivalent practical experience.

This role is also eligible to earn annual performance‑based incentive compensation in the form of a cash bonus. At Bluevine, we recognize the importance of fair and competitive compensation.
