ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a hands-on AI Engineer who thrives in ambiguity and loves shipping fast. This is not a

role for someone who designs systems for scale on day one — it's for a builder who can go from idea

to working prototype in days, not weeks.

You'll be working directly with an early-stage founder in test-and-learn mode. Expect narrow, welldefined problems where the highest value is speed of iteration, not architectural perfection. If you get

energy from shipping scrappy, functional MVPs and improving them quickly — this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Build end-to-end AI workflows independently — from prompt to working product

Prototype RAG pipelines, AI agents, or document processing tools in days, not months

Iterate rapidly on feedback with minimal structure or overhead

Own the full cycle: ideation build test ship improve

Communicate directly with the client, translating fuzzy requirements into working demos

Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to move even faster

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-Have

Has built complete AI workflows solo — not just contributed to large team systems

Comfortable delivering 'ugly but working' first versions and iterating from there

Startup, freelance, or solo founder background — used to owning outcomes end-to-end

Strong experience with LLMs, RAG, and AI agents in real production use cases

Fluent in English — you'll communicate directly with U.S.-based clients

Nice-to-Have

Experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex for AI-assisted development

Track record of shipping multiple small MVPs across different domains

Familiarity with lightweight deployment: Lambda, minimal Docker setups, simple APIs

Experience in eCommerce, fintech, or document-heavy workflows

TECH STACK (FLEXIBLE)

We care more about your ability to ship than your specific stack. That said, experience with the

following is helpful:

Python LangGraph LangChain FastAPI

RAG / Qdrant Claude / OpenAI AWS Lambda Cursor / Codex

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

You feel uncomfortable without a well-defined architecture before writing code

You prefer to be part of a larger team with clear swim lanes and handoffs

You optimize for scalability and robustness before proving the idea works

You need weeks to get a prototype in front of a stakeholder

WHY COMMITTED STAFF

Committed Staff connects the top 1% of LATAM talent with high-growth U.S. companies. We don't just

place candidates — we build committed teams that scale. You'll benefit from:

Direct access to innovative early-stage clients

Full-time remote work, fully aligned with U.S. time zones

Competitive LATAM-market compensation

A network of top tech professionals across Latin America
