About the Role As an AI Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping how Brightpath Technologies applies AI across both its product and internal operations. You will begin by working closely with the product and engineering teams to build a deep understanding of the codebase, core workflows, business logic, and operational complexity behind the platform. We see that foundation as essential to building AI solutions that are not only innovative but genuinely useful. As you grow into the role, you will identify high-impact opportunities to use AI to improve efficiency, streamline manual work, and enhance the product experience for customers and internal teams. You will be responsible for designing, building, and refining AI-powered tools, automations, workflows, and product features that are practical, scalable, and well-integrated into the business. This role is ideal for someone who wants to pair full stack engineering with applied AI work and have a meaningful influence on how the function develops over time. A note on the role: this position starts as a Full-Stack Engineer and evolves into an AI Engineer over time. If you’re looking for a pure AI/ML research role, this likely is not the best fit. If you’re someone who loves building real products and wants to apply AI engineering over time, this role is perfect for you.
