AI Engineer - Full Stack

Fortegra is seeking an Internal AI Forward Deployed Software Engineer to stay ahead of cutting-edge AI developments, rapidly prototype proofs-of-concept (POCs), and advise our organization's various technology teams on integrating the best AI solutions into their platforms and products. You'll be the go-to expert in bridging emerging AI technologies with our internal tech needs, enabling nimble adoption across teams and deploying AI apps in production.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Monitor and stay current with the AI technology landscape, including new models, frameworks, tools, and research across areas such as LLMs, multimodal AI, agentic systems, and orchestration platforms, to inform internal recommendations and solution design. • Operate with flexibility across software and data initiatives, contributing where business needs and priorities are most critical. Adapting readily to support both software engineering and data-focused projects as priorities and requirements shift will be integral to the role. Data-focused projects involve supporting our data infrastructure in terms of platform enhancements or building new data processes to support business needs. • Engage with internal stakeholders to identify high-value AI opportunities, define use cases, and rapidly prototype tailored solutions that integrate with our APIs, data pipelines, and internal platforms for workflows such as analytics, automation, and decision support. • Advise teams on the selection and implementation of AI solutions by assessing trade-offs across accuracy, latency, scalability, security, and cost, and guide the evolution of prototypes into production-ready applications. • Own end-to-end delivery of AI initiatives, from ideation and scoping through prototyping, testing, deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization in internal production environments. Build a sharp eye for continuously validating AI-driven processes and evaluating their outputs for accuracy, effectiveness, and trustworthiness. • Identify reusable patterns, shared components, and platform enhancement opportunities emerging from AI projects, and partner with core engineering teams to improve maintainability, scalability, security, and operational resilience. • Conduct workshops, demos, and knowledge-sharing sessions to educate teams on AI best practices, emerging tools, and Fortegra's evolving AI capabilities, helping drive organization-wide adoption and responsible usage. • Operate effectively across multiple high-priority initiatives, contributing as an engineer, technical advisor, researcher, and communicator in a fast-moving and often ambiguous environment.
