About the client
Our client is an innovative company developing enterprise-grade solutions to automate business processes and connect AI capabilities with enterprise data.
We are looking for an experienced AI Engineer to join the engineering team and build reliable, scalable AI-powered applications.
This is a fully remote opportunity for professionals based in Latin America, working closely with an international team in an English-speaking environment.
Role overview
As an AI Engineer, you will design, build, and deploy enterprise AI applications using Python, C#, and Microsoft Azure. You will turn technical designs into production-ready solutions, integrating LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and AI agent workflows with enterprise data and backend systems.
We are looking for an engineer who can work autonomously in a remote environment, translate technical designs into functional systems, collaborate effectively with cross-functional international teams, and communicate fluently in English.
Selection process
The process usually consists of 4 stages and takes on average 4-6 weeks to be completed depending on eventual additional technical rounds or take home tests.
• Initial interview with recruiting team;
• Technical interview with client;
• Cultural fit interview with client's manager;
• Final interview with C-level.
As Workana has multiple clients, if you pass the 1st round with Workana's recruiting team, you will be eligible to be presented to different clients in case the 1st one doesn't succeed.

• Hands-on experience developing REST APIs, backend services, and microservices architectures.
• Solid experience with cloud-based development and containerized deployments, preferably on Microsoft Azure.
• Proven experience with generative AI, LLM integration, and frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or similar.
• Practical knowledge of RAG architecture, embeddings, vector search, and data retrieval pipelines.
• Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and secure coding.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently.
• Advanced English proficiency (C1) is mandatory, as the role involves active technical discussions and international collaboration.
