Job description

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

Edelman's continued evolution as the leading communications consultancy will require paramount focus on product development (technology and services) that leverages data and AI to transform its own and its client's businesses. To achieve this vision, Edelman is building a critical new AI driven division that consists of four primary departments. Each department has a specific role and responsibility in the development, delivery and deployment of AI and data solutions across Edelman and the communications industry.
We are looking for a skilled and forward-thinking AI Solutions Engineer to join our team and help shape the future of AI-powered applications. In this role, you'll design and build robust, scalable back-end systems that integrate cutting-edge GPT technologies. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring innovative solutions to life, leveraging modern APIs, AI models, and automation tools to push the boundaries of what's possible. If you are passionate about backend development and excited by the evolving landscape of AI, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Build full-stack AI applications using React, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python.
  • Develop both rapid prototypes and production-ready applications.
  • Integrate AI capabilities using OpenAI APIs and related AI services.
  • Design and implement frontend interfaces, backend APIs, database interactions, and application workflows.
  • Deploy and manage applications using tools such as Vercel and AWS
  • Work with Supabase for backend services such as authentication, database management, storage, and APIs.
  • Use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, v0, Codex, and Claude Code to accelerate development.
  • Debug, test, document, and improve applications for performance, reliability, and usability.
  • Collaborate with product, strategy, design, and technical teammates to move ideas from concept to shipped product.
  • Stay current with emerging AI development practices, tools, and application patterns.

What We're Looking For

  • Curiosity and initiative to keep up with fast-moving AI and web technologies, evaluate what matters, and apply them in product work
  • 1-3 years of software development experience, including professional, internship, freelance, or strong project-based work.
  • Experience building web applications with React and Python.
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Familiarity with backend development, APIs, databases, and authentication.
  • Experience using Git and GitHub in a collaborative workflow.
  • Interest in AI application development, LLMs, automation, and emerging developer tools.
  • Ability to learn quickly, troubleshoot independently, and work in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working with both technical and non-technical teammates.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with OpenAI APIs or other LLM APIs.
  • Experience with Supabase/PostgreSQL, edge functions, or serverless backend patterns.
  • Experience deploying applications on Vercel, AWS, or self-hosted platforms such as Coolify.
  • Familiarity with Docker, environment variables, secrets management, and basic production deployment practices.
  • Experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar.
  • Exposure to prompt engineering, AI agents, RAG, workflow automation, or AI-powered internal tools.
  • A portfolio, GitHub profile, or examples of applications, prototypes, or experiments you have built.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: React, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
