AI Forward Engineer

About Jahnel Group

Jahnel Group's mission is to provide the absolute best environment for software creators to pursue their passion by connecting them with great clients doing meaningful work. We build complex and compelling applications for clients across the country. We're a fast-growing INC 5000 recognized company operating as a close-knit team of 100+ employees.

The Role

We're seeking an AI Delivery Engineer who thrives at the intersection of product, technology, and AI. This unique role combines product-minded and client-facing responsibilities with deep technical understanding of modern application design, deployment, and AI integration.

You may transition from Product Management, Product Ownership, Technical Project Management, Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, or software engineering. You should be comfortable translating ambiguous business problems into technical solutions and working directly with engineers to deliver them.

This is not a traditional project management role. You'll understand APIs, backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and data well enough to participate in technical conversations and use modern AI development tools to rapidly prototype solutions.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of AI-powered applications, automations, integrations, and internal tools
• Work directly with clients to understand business problems, workflows, and technical requirements
• Translate business needs into product requirements and actionable technical plans
• Partner with engineers on application architecture, APIs, data flows, integrations, and deployment
• Rapidly prototype and validate solutions using AI-assisted development tools
• Leverage AI throughout discovery, planning, development, testing, documentation, and delivery
• Manage priorities, remove blockers, and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to automate workflows and incorporate AI into products and processes

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in a technical product, engineering, solutions, or delivery role
• Experience working closely with software engineers to build and ship applications
• Strong understanding of modern AI applications and LLM-powered products
• Active hands-on user of tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar AI development platforms
• Working knowledge of backend development, including APIs, services, integrations, and application architecture
• Familiarity with a backend language such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C#, or similar
• Understanding of SQL and database concepts
