About the Opportunity
ZipStaff is seeking a Senior Generative AI Engineer to build production AI for smart-building and industrial-control products at a global building-technology organization.
You will ship LLM / GenAI features (operator copilots, alarm analysis, recommendations, NL interfaces) and help the engineering org adopt AI-assisted development. This is a hands-on product + platform seat — not a research-only or prompt-only role.
What You’ll Do:
- Design, build, and deploy AI/ML and GenAI capabilities across cloud, edge, and on-prem.
- Develop LLM-powered features: operator copilots, intelligent alarm analysis, recommendations, and natural-language interfaces.
- Integrate AI into existing smart-building products and platforms.
- Build scalable inference and deployment architectures for production AI.
- Partner with software engineering and product to turn business needs into AI solutions.
- Monitor and improve model performance, reliability, and accuracy.
- Introduce AI-assisted developer tools that improve delivery velocity.
- Use AI for code generation, testing, reviews, and CI/CD.
- Set AI engineering standards and governance.
- Mentor engineers on AI frameworks and implementation.
- Evaluate emerging tools and drive responsible AI use across the SDLC.
Required Qualifications:
- 7+ years software engineering with modern development practices.
- 5+ years hands-on developing and deploying machine learning solutions.
- Python plus PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn.
- Experience building and integrating Generative AI / LLM solutions.
- Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Strong software architecture, APIs, data pipelines, and production deployment.
- Bachelor’s in CS, Software Engineering, Data Science, or related field.
- Ability to work on-site in Glendale, WI.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- RAG, vector databases, and prompt engineering.
- AI on edge / IoT.
- MLOps, model monitoring, and AI governance.
- BAS, industrial controls, IoT, or smart buildings.
- Agile / Scrum.
