AI Solutions Architect
AI Solutions Architect
Our experience team works with strategy, verbal and visual design, business, and technology leaders to define how a brand or product behaves and connects it with what they do and why they do it.
As an AI Solutions Associate, you will help design and implement internal tools that encode how we think, decide, and operate. This is a hands-on role for someone eager to build with AI—creating smart workflows that leverage large language models (LLMs), structured data, and lightweight automation to transform one-off tasks into scalable, reusable systems. You’ll work alongside strategy, product, and creative teams to build internal prototypes that increase our leverage and reduce friction. These tools won’t just make Proto smarter—they’ll also serve as testbeds for future client-facing offerings.
What you will do:
- Support the development of AI-native workflows that integrate LLMs, prompt chains, embeddings, and memory;
- Help build and test modular components like context loaders, output parsers, and simple tool integrations;
- Set up and maintain sandbox environments for prototyping and experimentation;
- Collaborate with strategists and technologists to define logic flows and validate solutions in active project contexts;
- Document workflows and logic clearly—keeping systems accessible and extensible;
- Contribute to basic testing and evaluation of system utility, relevance, and stability.
Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience in software development, applied AI, technical product design, or a related role;
- Familiarity with LLM workflows, including prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and vector search;
- Hands-on experience with Python, TypeScript, or low-code automation tools (e.g., Make, Retool, Zapier);
- Curious about modular design, reusable logic blocks, and collaborative tooling;
- Communicates clearly, especially when documenting system behavior and logic;
- Comfortable working in high-ambiguity environments—prioritizing speed, feedback, and iteration;
- A strong desire to learn fast, ask questions, and grow into a systems-level thinker.
