Job Description
Role Overview

As a Junior AI Developer, you will help build and refine AI agents powered by Claude, integrate them with Python back-ends and third-party APIs, and support collaboration with our design team. You’ll work closely with more senior engineers, but you’ll also own small features end-to-end—from prototype to production.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You’ll work closely with designers and non-technical stakeholders to turn ideas into AI-powered features and tools. You’ll have direct mentorship from more experienced AI/LLM engineers on real-world projects. The opportunity to work hands-on with the latest LLM tools and workflows in a supportive team setting.

  • solid Python skills
  • some hands-on experience with large language models (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
  • basic experience calling web APIs (REST/JSON) and handling JSON data in Python
  • familiarity with core LLM concepts: prompts, tokens, context windows, and common issues like hallucinations
  • comfort using Git and working in a collaborative development environment
  • strong desire to learn, experiment, and improve; clear communication and willingness to ask questions

Benefits

  • full-time, on-site position with weekly pay
  • competitive compensation package with benefits (health, PTO, etc.)
  • collaborative environment that encourages growth, shared ideas, and cross-functional learning
  • direct mentorship from more experienced AI/LLM engineers on real-world projects
  • opportunity to work hands-on with the latest LLM tools and workflows in a supportive team setting
