Job Description

Unify Consulting is a leading

AI management consulting firm

designed to help clients overcome challenges and achieve their goals through an agile, modular, and bespoke approach. We’re a collective of curious, seasoned consultants who build meaningful connections and deliver with purpose and authenticity.

Why we’re hiring Demand for GenAI and Agentic AI solutions is accelerating across our client pipeline, and we’re proactively building a strong bench of AI Engineers who can help architect, build, and scale real production systems — not demos.

The Role

As an

AI Engineer (GenAI / Agentic AI) , you’ll design and build

LLM-powered applications and agentic systems

that plan, reason, and take action — often by securely interacting with enterprise systems and APIs. You’ll work across discovery → rapid prototypes → pilot and scale, with a strong emphasis on

quality, safety, latency, cost, and user feedback loops .

Location Requirement Candidates must currently reside in the Greater San Francisco, Greater Seattle, Greater Chicago, or DFW metro areas. Relocation (now or in the future) is not supported for this role. Please note: We are unable to sponsor or transfer visas for this position . You must be authorized to work in the United States for any employer without requiring sponsorship or visa transfer now or in the future.

Please no resumes from third-party agencies or recruiters

What You'll Do

You may work across several of these areas depending on level and project: Build GenAI / LLM applications Design and develop LLM-powered applications using enterprise AI platforms (e.g., AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI / Azure AI platforms, Google Vertex AI). Implement multi-step orchestration workflows that translate user intent into reliable actions and explainable outputs. Build robust

RAG pipelines

(vector databases, embeddings, chunking strategies) and validate grounding quality. Engineer agentic solutions (Plan → Reason → Execute → Feedback) Design agent reasoning/control patterns (e.g., planning vs execution separation, tool calling, memory/context management). Integrate agents with tools/APIs and enterprise workflows with appropriate governance and guardrails. Prompt engineering + evaluation Create reusable prompt

templates/libraries ; implement prompt testing frameworks; establish prompt

versioning/governance. Evaluate solutions for

quality/safety/latency/cost

and iterate quickly. Production readiness + operations Partner with platform/LLMOps teammates to deploy, monitor, and improve LLM systems in production. Build observability and reliability mechanisms for agent-based workflows. Client-facing consulting Lead technical discovery, map workflows/pain points, and communicate solutions to technical and executive stakeholders. What We're Looking For (Must-Have)

1–2+ years hands-on GenAI / Agentic AI experience building LLM apps

on enterprise platforms (AWS Bedrock / Vertex AI / Azure AI platforms) in a professional setting. Strong

backend engineering

experience (Python preferred) delivering production-grade systems. Hands on

professional experience

with

RAG

patterns and implementation. Ability to communicate clearly and contribute in fast-moving, cross-functional teams. Computer Science / strong CS fundamentals Nice-to- Have/Differentiators

Applied Scientist style skills: deep learning/NLP with PyTorch/TensorFlow + Hugging Face; ability to interpret research and implement emerging techniques. Fine-tuning and optimization methods (LoRA/PEFT/QLoRA),

distillation/quantization/pruning,

GPU memory optimization. Experience building secure tool integrations / agent middleware (tool schemas, SaaS integrations like

Salesforce/SAP/ServiceNow,

OAuth2, API security). Evaluation harnesses and regression testing for prompts/agents; RAG quality testing. Cloud-native experience in large enterprise environments. This is a broad range intended to accommodate varying levels of experience, with final compensation determined by demonstrated, hands‑on technical capability and real‑world impact.
