AI Engineer (Agentic Systems & Internal Tooling) – Contract / Fractional

Location: Remote (U.S. Time Zones Preferred)

Duration: 3–6 Months (Initial Contract, Extendable)

Start: Late October / Early November 2025

Type: Contract / Freelance / Fractional

Overview

A leading enterprise technology organization is seeking AI Engineers to join a small, high-impact team focused on automating complex internal business processes — specifically around ERP system transformation. This is a greenfield opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI agent frameworks in a sandboxed, secure, non-production environment.

Engineers will work alongside a fractional AI leader tasked with rapidly prototyping and deploying internal tools that improve efficiency and reduce manual workload.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-enabled tools to support process optimization and ERP migration initiatives.
• Collaborate with a fractional AI leader and internal stakeholders to define functional requirements and deliver outcomes.
• Develop multi-agent workflows using LLMs, agentic frameworks, and internal tooling.
• Integrate modern AI code assistants (e.g., Cursor, Cody) into the development process.
• Deliver lightweight, secure prototypes capable of demonstrating tangible value quickly.

Ideal Experience

We’re looking for engineers who are excited about applied AI, value fast iteration, and thrive in lean, product-focused environments.

Required:

• Hands-on experience with at least one of the following:
• LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI Assistants API, Hugging Face Agents.
• Experience with AI pair programming environments (e.g., Cursor, Cody, GitHub Copilot).
• Understanding of agentic workflows, LLM orchestration, or agent chains.
• Background in building internal tools or automation systems (does not need to be production-grade).

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to ERP systems or enterprise process automation.
• Familiarity with concepts like model context protocols, agent swarms, or multi-agent collaboration.
• Interest in bleeding-edge AI development approaches (e.g., prompt chaining, autonomous AI agents).
• Experience in secure internal development environments.

Working Model

• Fully remote
• Preferable alignment with U.S. business hours
• Rolling contract with flexible scale-up/down potential
• Engineers will report into a fractional technical lead and collaborate directly with internal teams
