Applied AI Engineer
Fortegra is seeking an Applied AI Engineer to prototype and ship AI-powered tools that transform business operations, including internal copilots and intelligent automation. This role requires an engineer who can quickly move from concept to working prototype and possesses significant experience in LLM application and AI development.
Prototype and ship AI-powered tools that change how our business operates. Internal copilots, intelligent automation, smarter analytics interfaces. You’ll work closely with our Analytics Engineering Lead and report to the Head of Data Science. Contributing to both what we build today and how we think about AI over the longer term. This isn’t a research role. It’s not a prompt engineering role. It’s an engineering role where AI is the primary instrument.
Someone who builds things with AI that real people use. You move from idea to working prototype quickly and have the judgment to know when to push to production versus when to start over. You follow the AI space closely, have opinions about where it’s heading, and can explain those opinions to people who aren’t engineers.
Most companies are still figuring out what AI means for their business. We're actively building it. You'll have real latitude, a direct line to leadership, and a counterpart who is equally serious about building a modern data function. If you want your instincts about AI to actually shape what gets built, not just what you personally ship, let’s talk!
