AI Engineer- State expereince

Please send your updated resume in word format.

This is a hands-on, applied technical role. The successful candidate will work primarily in Python within modern web frameworks (such as FastAPI), deploy and maintain services on Microsoft Azure (App Service, Storage, Key Vault, and related services), and use Git-based source control and pull-request workflows.

The role operates within an AI-assisted software development environment, in which modern coding assistants are used as a primary day-to-day tool for writing, reviewing, and debugging code. The analyst is expected to be effective in this style of AI-assisted software development directing the tools, validating their output, and shipping reliable production code.

In addition to working on developing AI solutions for the Department of Banking, the candidate will work in close collaboration with the Connecticut AI Lab, a centralized team within DAS that supports the design, development, and deployment of AI-enabled tools across state agencies. The AI Lab provides architectural guidance, shared infrastructure, and engineering support for the applications this role helps maintain and extend.

Required Skills:

• Python development in a web environment that handles application logic and web APIs
• Experience building applications powered by large language models (LLMs) such as Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or OpenAI GPT
• Professional experience comparing and selecting AI models (e.g., A/B testing two models on a task)
• Experience deploying applications and supporting services in cloud environments
• Experience deploying and maintaining services on Microsoft Azure (App Service, Storage, Key Vault, and related services)
• Experience using Git-based source control and pull-request workflows
• Previous experience working directly with a state government agency in AI development
• Exceptional communication skills (both oral and written)
