About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Turn early-stage business ideas and loosely defined concepts into working prototypes using AI-enabled development tools and rapid experimentation
Partner with business users, AI prototypers, and developers to clarify objectives, translate needs into functional solutions, and determine when a prototype has sufficiently proven a concept
Build and refine AI-enabled features, including prompt design, agent workflows, API integrations, and methods for evaluating the quality and reliability of AI-generated output
Package successful prototypes for effective handoff to the development team using clear structure, version control, and documentation
Apply firm data, privacy, and security practices during prototyping so solutions can transition appropriately to live firm data and production environments
Use AI tools as a primary part of the prototyping and development process while independently reviewing, testing, and validating generated output
Evaluate prototypes critically, identifying limitations, edge cases, and risks and determining whether to refine, hand off, or discontinue them
Stay current with evolving AI development tools and techniques and apply new capabilities to improve speed, quality, or business value

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, data science, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience
Demonstrated ability to take an idea from concept to a working, usable prototype through coursework, internships, hackathons, side projects, or professional experience
Strong comfort using current AI development tools to create and refine working solutions, with the judgment to recognize when AI-generated output is incomplete, inaccurate, or unreliable
Working knowledge of version control, APIs, integrations, hosting, and deployment concepts needed to move a prototype toward a deployable solution
Foundational software development skills; experience with TypeScript, React, Python, or similar technologies is preferred but not required at an advanced level
High degree of initiative and comfort working through ambiguity, changing requirements, unfamiliar tools, and problems without an established playbook
Strong judgment and practical problem-solving skills, including the ability to balance speed with quality and recognize when a prototype has achieved its intended purpose
Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and translate between business needs and development requirements
Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to experiment, learn quickly, and move on from prototypes that do not demonstrate sufficient value
A portfolio or examples of working projects that demonstrate the ability to build and ship functional solutions is strongly preferred
