AI Solutions Engineer in San Antonio, Texas at Bridgehead IT LLC

Position Summary

The AI Solutions Engineer will play a crucial role in delivering AI-powered automation solutions for our Clients and internal operations. The AI Solutions Engineer will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining AI applications, whether starting new projects from the ground up or carrying in-progress builds through development, testing, and production release, then supporting ongoing refinements following go-live. This is a true hybrid role. The right candidate configures and integrates AI tools and LLM platforms, and is equally comfortable interviewing stakeholders, documenting workflows, and translating business needs into technical specifications. In this role, the ability to learn quickly, take ownership, attention to detail, and pride in your work are crucial to our and your continued success.

Duties/Responsibilities

• AI Development: Design, build, and maintain AI-powered applications and automations using LLM platforms and APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), Azure services, and low-code tools, including prompt engineering, testing, and evaluation of model outputs.
• Project Ownership: Own projects from initial concept through production release while meeting or exceeding defined accuracy and performance targets.
• Systems Integration: Configure and maintain integrations between AI tools, business systems, and third-party platforms to support automated workflows.
• Requirements Gathering: Conduct stakeholder interviews, map business processes, document requirements, and translate business needs into technical specifications and user stories.
• Testing and Quality Assurance: Plan and coordinate user acceptance testing, monitor production accuracy and performance following go-live, and identify and implement refinements.
• Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation, process maps, and end-user guidance for both internal teams and Clients.
• Client Delivery: Support billable Client engagements including AI development, business analysis, and reporting work.
• Communication: Communicate effectively with the development team, management, and Clients to provide clear status updates, surface risks early, and guarantee prompt and responsive delivery.

The successful candidate will be a self-starter who learns quickly, takes ownership, and is comfortable working on both new builds and work in progress. They will have a passion for excellence, strong problem-solving instincts, and the ability to work independently or in a group setting. Because this role bridges technical and business audiences, the candidate must communicate clearly and professionally in both verbal and written formats.

The ideal candidate will possess the following abilities, attributes, experience and skills:

• Bachelor's Degree in AI, Data Analytics, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field is preferred; equivalent practical experience will be considered.

• Hands-on experience with AI tools and LLM platforms such as OpenAI or Claude, including prompt engineering and output evaluation (required).
• Understanding of Azure services or comparable cloud platforms (required).
• Understanding of APIs and how systems connect and exchange data (required).
