Artificial Intelligence Engineer Job at CNA Search in New York

CNA Search, New York, NY, United States


Most AI roles right now are experimentation.

This isn’t one of them.

We are looking for someone who has actually built and deployed AI systems into production . Not demos. Not notebooks. Real systems with users, failure modes, and performance constraints.

You will lead the design and delivery of agentic AI systems that need to operate reliably in enterprise environments.

What You’ll Own

Architecture and delivery of agent-based AI systems

End-to-end LLM pipelines including orchestration, tool use, and retrieval

Designing systems with memory, reasoning, and controlled execution

Translating unclear business problems into working AI systems

Setting technical direction across AI, backend, and infrastructure

Mentoring engineers and raising the bar on production quality

Core Requirements

8+ years building AI/ML or intelligent systems in production

Proven experience deploying LLM or AI systems beyond prototype stage

Strong experience with RAG, retrieval systems, and embeddings

Hands-on with agent frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, etc.)

Strong Python experience building scalable systems

Experience designing systems, not just contributing to them

Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

Strong Signals

Built multi-agent systems with orchestration and coordination

Experience with memory systems, state handling, and retries

Designed guardrails, evaluation frameworks, or observability for AI

Worked on systems where reliability and failure handling mattered
