The AI Engineer – NLP is a hands-on, onsite role in Charlotte focused on building, deploying, and supporting production-grade LLM applications.

The engineer will use Azure or comparable cloud platforms to design scalable, secure, and reliable AI solutions. Candidates must understand real-world trade-offs involving model quality, latency, cost, security, and performance. This is not a research-focused position; it requires ownership of live applications, production troubleshooting, and the ability to deliver results with limited oversight.

- Ability to design appropriate architectural patterns for real-world business problems.
- Experience deploying scalable AI solutions in Azure; strong AWS or GCP experience may also be considered.

- Ability to work independently, take ownership, and deliver results with limited oversight.
