  • Develop, test, and troubleshoot production-quality code using appropriate programming languages, frameworks, and software engineering practices.
  • Build retrieval-augmented generation solutions, including document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector search, grounding, and response orchestration.
  • Create reusable components, prompts, tools, and services that support consistent solution delivery.
  • Evaluate solution performance, accuracy, reliability, latency, and cost; make improvements based on testing and production results.

APIs Integrations and Data

  • Develop and maintain REST APIs, web services, webhooks, and integrations connecting AI solutions with enterprise applications and data sources.
  • Implement authentication, data transformation, error handling, logging, and monitoring in accordance with established enterprise standards.
  • Work with structured and unstructured data and collaborate with data, application, infrastructure, and security teams to resolve integration dependencies.
  • Build solutions that securely access and use enterprise data within approved access controls, privacy requirements, and governance guardrails.

Solution Delivery and Support

  • Translate documented business and technical requirements into working solutions, estimates, development tasks, and test plans.
  • Create prototypes and proofs of concept, then harden validated solutions for deployment and ongoing use.
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, release management, deployment, and production support activities.
  • Monitor deployed solutions, investigate defects and performance issues, and implement fixes and enhancements.
  • Maintain technical documentation, configuration details, support procedures, and reusable development guidance.
  • Partner with users and IT teams to validate outcomes, support adoption, and identify practical improvements.

Standards Security and Responsible AI

  • Develop solutions within the AI architecture, technical standards, security controls, and governance framework established by IT leadership.
  • Apply secure coding, data protection, testing, and responsible AI practices throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Identify technical, security, data, or model risks and escalate design decisions or exceptions to the appropriate architecture, security, or governance owners.
  • Contribute implementation feedback and lessons learned to help improve shared engineering patterns and standards.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of professional software engineering or application development experience, including experience delivering and supporting production solutions.
  • Hands-on experience developing AI, generative AI, machine learning, intelligent automation, or advanced analytics solutions.
  • Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language commonly used for AI development, such as Python, C#, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Experience building and consuming REST APIs, web services, JSON payloads, webhooks, and system integrations.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, source control, testing, debugging, deployment, monitoring, and production support practices.
  • Working knowledge of authentication and authorization methods, secure coding principles, data privacy, and enterprise integration patterns.
  • Ability to understand business requirements, communicate technical tradeoffs, and independently execute development work

Preferences

  • Experience with platforms or services such as Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS AI Services, or similar technologies.
  • Experience building AI agents, tool-calling workflows, prompt orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation solutions.
  • Experience with vector databases, semantic search, embeddings, model evaluation, observability, or AI safety tooling.
  • Experience integrating with enterprise platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics, Workday, Power Platform, Databricks, or similar business applications.
  • Experience with Azure integration and application services, containerized applications, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure automation.
  • Familiarity with responsible AI practices, model risk, data governance, and human-in-the-loop review patterns.

Candidates with additional and relevant experience, education, licensing, or certification beyond the role’s requirements and/or specific to the nature of Prolink’s business will be given additional consideration in the candidate selection process. If all minimum requirements are met, candidates with unique and/or diverse qualifications will also be given additional consideration.
