Ai Software Engineer Jobs in Wisconsin (NOW HIRING)

As an AI Software Engineer at Dataroots, you play a key role in delivering end-to-end data and AI solutions for our clients. Working within a broader ecosystem of AI engineers, data engineers, and cloud experts, you combine software engineering and AI expertise to build impactful applications around LLMs and modern GenAI use cases.

You go beyond experimentation: you design, build, and deploy production-ready AI systems that create real business value. Your focus is on delivering well-architected, scalable, and secure solutions, ensuring that what you build is not just functional, but robust, maintainable, and ready to evolve in real-world settings.

• Strong Python experience on larger projects with solid software design principles.
• Proficient with Git and SQL, with hands-on experience applying DevOps/MLOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines and monitoring for AI systems.
• Cloud engineering experience (using tools such as Terraform and Docker), and some experience architecting and deploying production-grade applications.
• You have good knowledge of at least one cloud platform: Azure, AWS, GCP.

• Good understanding of (gen)AI concepts, and genuine interest in staying up to date with the field.
• Experience designing, building, and deploying LLM applications in Python, with an eye for common failure modes (latency, cost, rate limits, non-determinism) and how to design around them.
• A production mindset when working with LLM systems: thinking about reliability, evaluation, observability, and cost. You care about how these systems behave in production, not just whether they work in a demo.
• Some familiarity with agentic and retrieval-based patterns.
• You know the model landscape (Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-weight models) well enough to reason about trade-offs: capability, cost, and latency.
• You take governance and security seriously: auth, data boundaries, and responsible use of AI in enterprise environments.

• You use AI tools daily to design, write, and review code with the ability to critically evaluate their output.
• Hands-on experience with data engineering (ELT, orchestration) or managed data platforms (e.g. Databricks, Fabric).
• You are opinionated about governance, security, and responsible use of AI in real-world environments.
• Affinity with application security and cloud networking.
• Experience deploying applications on Kubernetes.
