Our client in Orange County, CA, an innovative leader with specialty in the Military/DoD space is seeking an entry-level AI Engineer / Developer to join their team. This is a contract-to-hire role designed for someone with a strong coding foundation and a fire in the belly to grow into applied AI engineering.

We welcome candidates from non-traditional backgrounds—whether you’re a self-taught programmer, college student, or early-career developer—as long as you can demonstrate your ability. Past projects, code samples, GitHub repos, or even a live coding demo will be part of the evaluation process.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines for text and image applications
  • Create internal AI tools and APIs to deliver real business outcomes
  • Manage training and inference workloads on cloud GPUs (Azure, AWS, etc.)
  • Experiment with efficiency techniques (LoRA, quantization, adapters)
  • Prepare datasets and evaluate models with a focus on applied performance

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven AI coding ability (Node.js or React helpful)
  • Willingness to show past projects or share live code
  • Exposure to (or strong interest in learning) PyTorch, Hugging Face, TensorFlow
  • Curiosity about model tuning, embeddings, and RAG systems
  • Familiarity with Azure cloud services or other cloud GPU platforms
  • Creative problem solver who can learn fast and adapt
  • A builder’s mindset—we value drive, not just degrees

Why This Role

  • Opportunity to break into AI engineering with hands-on mentoring
  • Work with both frontier AI models (Anthropic) and local open-source models
  • Real-world projects across text, image, and applied tool creation
  • Grow quickly in a fast-paced, outcome-driven environment
