If you’re seeking professional growth, like being innovative and challenged, and have a desire to work on impactful business technology solutions, we want to hear from you!

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Artificial Intelligence Engineer to join our growing team. As an AI Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in developing and deploying advanced AI models, algorithms, and solutions to solve real-world business challenges. You will collaborate with a team of software engineers, solution architects, and data engineers to design, implement, and optimize AI-based systems that are scalable, efficient, and aligned with our strategic goals. This role demands a deep understanding of AI technologies, machine learning lifecycle management, and hands-on experience with cloud platforms and AI frameworks.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and architecting Generative AI models using the latest LLMs, machine learning frameworks, and tools (e.g., Azure AI platform, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn).
• Designing, developing, and integrating AI models into existing software systems or creating new applications leveraging AI/ML capabilities.
• Leading integration efforts and deploying AI models to cloud environments using containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Driving MLOps practices, including continuous integration, deployment, and monitoring of AI models for seamless delivery, scalability, and performance.
• Building and maintaining end-to-end AI pipelines using DevOps tools (e.g., Git, CI/CD processes) and automating AI model training and deployment workflows.
• Staying updated on advancements in AI, machine learning, and deep learning, including NLP, Computer Vision, and reinforcement learning.
• Applying cutting-edge techniques (e.g., Retrieval-Augmented Generation, chain-of-thought models) to enhance AI model performance.
• Ensuring AI systems are developed with ethical guidelines and responsible AI practices, including fairness, transparency, and privacy considerations.
• Continuously monitoring AI system performance and recommending and implementing improvements as needed.

The qualifications we are looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science or a related technical discipline (Master’s preferred).
• 5+ years in Information Technology or related Engineering disciplines, with experience in programming languages such as Python, R, or Java.
• 3+ years of ML modeling experience using a variety of regression and supervised/unsupervised learning techniques.
• Experience with data wrangling/cleansing, statistical modeling, and programming.
• Experience working with RAG technologies and LLM frameworks (Langchain, Claude, LLamaIndex); LLM model registries (Hugging Face); and vector databases (FAISS, Milvus, OpenSearch, Pinecone).
• Expertise in AI/ML frameworks, including PyTorch and Scikit-Learn, alongside strong knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Experience building and maintaining scalable AI/ML pipelines using cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and with DevOps and MLOps practices.
• Proven track record of developing, deploying, and optimizing machine learning models at scale.

On the surface, we’re one of the nation’s largest audit, tax, consulting, and wealth management firms. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll see what makes us different: we’re a relatively jerk-free firm (hey, nobody’s perfect) with a world-class culture, consistent recognition as one of Fortune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For,” and an endless array of opportunities. At Plante Moran, diversity, equity, and inclusion means that all staff members have equitable opportunities to succeed in an inclusive environment, with their unique identities.
