- Collaborate with AI Business Partners and other departmental representatives to translate functional requirements and use-case concepts into technical implementations.
- Translate business-defined context into structured prompts, system instructions, agent behaviors, and RAG retrieval logic ("technical context engineering").
- Refine and optimize context injection strategies (prompt templates, chains, tools, memory, retrieval parameters) to improve solution reliability and accuracy.
- Prototype rapidly, iterate based on user feedback, and deliver production-ready AI solutions with appropriate guardrails.
- Develop reusable prompts, templates, automations, and components to accelerate future AI solution development.
- Integrate AI tools with Verathon systems (e.g., Salesforce, Epicor, MasterControl, HRIS) following architecture, security, and compliance standards.
- Partner with the AI Solutions Architect to evaluate and implement new AI tools and ensure alignment with Verathon's AI Policy and Roper guidelines.
- Document solutions clearly and support functional teams through adoption, training, and scaling of deployed AI tools.
Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, data science, or related field.
- 3-7 years of experience in software development, automation engineering, data engineering, or applied AI development.
- Hands-on experience with Python, REST APIs, and modern AI/LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel, LlamaIndex).
- Experience configuring and deploying AI tools such as ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Claude, or similar enterprise AI platforms.
- Understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, and prompt design best practices.
- Familiarity with integration patterns for enterprise systems and cloud environments (Azure/AWS).
- Demonstrated ability to rapidly experiment, prototype, and iterate AI solutions based on business feedback.
- Strong collaboration skills and comfort working closely with business and technical stakeholders.
Who You Are- A practical builder who enjoys turning ideas into working solutions quickly.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and translating loosely defined requirements into prototypes and production-ready tools.
- Hands-on with modern AI tools and excited about learning new technologies.
- Driven by impact; motivated to deploy solutions that make work faster, easier, and smarter across the organization.
- A collaborative partner who communicates clearly and earns trust through delivery.
Salary range - $115,000.00 - $231,000.00 (Compensation will vary based on skills, experience and location; it is not typical to be hired at or above the top of the salary range).
