Applied AI Engineer, Founding Team

You Are:

You're an AI builder who doesn't wait for permission. You've rebuilt how you work around AI agents - not just adopted them. You ship agentic systems, you know the Anthropic ecosystem, and when a new research paper or open-source repo drops, you're testing it the next day. You have an instinct for turning cutting-edge AI into commercial value.

You're equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive and a client conversation.

You might come from engineering, consulting, product, or pre-sales - what matters is that you build things that work and can explain why they matter.

The Work:

• Contribute to the Knowledge Repository - a multi-tenant enterprise knowledge platform built on Oracle 23ai, powering intelligent search and document retrieval at scale
• Build and extend MCP server infrastructure - our federated Model Context Protocol network across Oracle product lines, including retrieval pipelines and evaluation frameworks
• Accelerate AI-assisted sales pursuits - helping sales teams win faster with AI-generated content, live demo agents, and intelligent presentation assets
• Serve as an Anthropic / AI coding agent SME across internal teams and client-facing engagements
• Partner with solution architects, sales, and delivery teams to embed AI across the Accenture-Oracle alliance

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here's what you need:

• Minimum of 5 years experience in software engineering, AI/ML, or enterprise technology
• Minimum of 1 year of experience with hybrid retrieval systems - vector search, knowledge graphs, or structured search pipelines - and an understanding of context engineering as the layer that makes agents reliable
• Minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience building and deploying agentic AI systems - Claude/Anthropic, or equivalent
• Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, agentic harness frameworks, or tool-use orchestration
• Experience designing evaluation frameworks or quality gates for AI system output
• Proven ability to be able to translate complex AI concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years' work experience). If Associate's Degree, must have equivalent minimum 6-year work experience

Bonus Points If:

• You have functional Oracle knowledge - EPM, ERP, or OCI
• You have experience with agentic harness frameworks
• You have a pre-sales, sales solutioning, or client-facing delivery background
• You have startup, entrepreneurial, or product-led environment experience
• You have consulting or professional services background in large-scale digital transformation
