Position Overview
The AI Solutions Developer is a hands-on technical role responsible for designing, building, testing, and deploying AI-powered applications, AI agents, connected data pipelines, and automation solutions across the Fortifi organization.
This role is focused on execution and delivery. The successful candidate will translate business ideas and operational needs into practical, working solutions quickly, moving from proof of concept to usable tools with a strong builder mindset.
The ideal candidate combines strong application development skills, practical experience with LLMs and AI agents, and the ability to connect data, systems, and workflows into functional solutions. This is not primarily a strategy or people-management role; it is a doer role, centered on building, iterating, and delivering effective AI-enabled tools.
