Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Fischer Energy Partners (FEP) is a profitable NYC-based energy engineering firm focused on serving large commercial buildings. They are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to design and build a modular AI system that transforms messy building engineering data into reliable engineering deliverables, ensuring accuracy and defensibility in outputs.
Responsibilities
- Design a modular system where concurrent multi-user access, permissions, and state are foundational
- Build the end-to-end data pipeline—from ingestion to verification
- Own compute procurement and deployment across cloud, colocation, or on-premise hardware
- Implement context engineering, prompt caching, model routing, and batching to optimize unit economics
- Build clean, versioned integrations with external systems and design ergonomic, low-latency interfaces
- Ensure strict client data isolation, robust authorization models, audit logging, and clear third-party data governance
- Calibrate automated checks and human review gates based on the real-world consequences of each output
- Partner with internal engineers to encode their domain expertise into system design
- Leverage budget for outside specialists, scope work, vet contractors, and manage deliverables
Skills
- Demonstrated experience shipping production LLM/AI applications — not demos
- Multi-step pipeline and agent orchestration
- A track record of substantial side projects
- Extraction from genuinely messy real-world data
- Strong grasp of retrieval architecture (RAG, chunking and indexing strategy, hybrid search) and its failure modes
- Infrastructure and hardware fluency
- Data engineering depth
- Security-mindedness
- Product and interface sensibility
- Pragmatism for a small, profitable, non-hyperscaler shop
- Strong systems-design judgment and the ability to explain trade-offs plainly to a technical audience
- Workflow automation and connector-heavy integration work at a production scale
- Experience in a regulated or liability-bearing domain
- Familiarity with the AEC, building-engineering, energy, or technical-document domain
- Experience as a first or lead AI hire, setting direction for others
Benefits
- Full employee benefits
- Hybrid/remote. Quarterly presence at our NYC Midtown office is preferred.
