Applied AI Engineer - Private Equity | Florida, US
Orr Search is partnering with an established private equity firm to hire an AI Engineer into its Data & AI team.
The role You’ll work alongside a small, hands-on Data & AI team focused on two things: internal AI initiatives within the firm, and value creation across its portfolio companies. It’s a lean team, so your work will be highly visible and you’ll have real ownership from day one.
What you’ll do
Build and deploy AI and agentic products for the firm’s internal teams, and for portfolio companies
Own the architecture of those products end to end: data, models, application and deployment
Partner with investment and operating teams to identify and scope high-impact AI use cases
Take solutions from idea to production, turning AI from experimentation into measurable business results
What we’re looking for
3-5 years of experience.
A solid data foundation:
you know how to work with data properly. You can build and manage reliable data pipelines, and you understand how good data feeds into AI.
Both AI and software engineering:
you’re not only a data scientist or only a developer. You understand how AI models work (LLMs, RAG, agents) and you write production-quality code (Python / TypeScript, APIs, cloud).
AI products live in production:
you’ve built AI or agentic tools that real users rely on day to day, not just demos, pilots or proofs of concept.
Ownership of the architecture end to end:
you can design the whole system yourself, from data and models through to the application and deployment, and make the key technical decisions.
Why it’s interesting
A high-impact role at the intersection of private equity and AI
Exposure to a diverse portfolio and senior investment leadership
A small team where your work shapes how the firm uses AI
Please note: due to the high volume of applications, we’re unable to respond to every applicant individually. If your experience closely matches the criteria above, we’ll be in touch.
