Talent First Partners is seeking a hands-on AI Developer to design, build, and maintain AI-powered applications, automations, and integrations that improve business operations.

This role focuses on transforming real-world business workflows into functional technology solutions. The AI Developer will work closely with leadership, the AI Implementation team, and departments across the organization to develop internal AI tools that improve efficiency, reduce repetitive tasks, and help teams work more effectively.

Unlike a traditional software development role, this position sits at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, automation, and business operations. The ideal candidate is comfortable writing code, working with large language models and APIs, experimenting with emerging technologies, and taking ideas from prototype through deployment.

• • Develop solutions using large language models (LLMs) and platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, or comparable technologies.
• • Build AI assistants and agents that support business and operational workflows.
• • Develop tools for document analysis, information extraction, summarization, internal knowledge retrieval, and workflow automation.
• • Take projects from initial prototype through testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement.

AI Agents & Knowledge Systems

• • Build AI agents capable of completing multi-step tasks and interacting with business systems.
• • Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions that enable AI applications to securely retrieve information from internal documents and knowledge sources.
• • Create and optimize prompts, agent instructions, tool integrations, and AI workflows.
• • Build processes to evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, consistency, and reliability.
• • Improve existing AI applications based on employee feedback, usage, and performance.

APIs & Systems Integration

• • Build integrations between AI applications and existing business software using APIs, webhooks, and other integration methods.
• • Connect AI tools with business systems, databases, document repositories, and third-party applications.
• • Develop automated workflows that securely move information between systems and reduce manual work.
• • Work with automation platforms such as n8n, Make, Zapier, or comparable technologies when appropriate.
• • Troubleshoot and maintain integrations as systems and business requirements evolve.

Software Development

• • Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
• •Develop primarily in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• •Work with structured and unstructured data, databases, APIs, and common business file formats.
• •Use source control and development best practices to manage code and application changes.
• •Test, troubleshoot, monitor, and maintain applications after deployment.
• •Build solutions with appropriate security, privacy, and access controls for sensitive business information.

Collaboration & Innovation

• • Partner with leadership, the AI Implementation team, and internal stakeholders to understand workflow challenges and translate them into technical solutions.
• • Evaluate the technical feasibility of proposed AI initiatives.
• • Rapidly prototype ideas and determine whether they can become reliable, scalable internal tools.
• • Research emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and platforms that could benefit Talent First Partners and its business operations.
• • Explain technical concepts, limitations, and recommendations clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• • Document systems, integrations, and development processes to support long-term maintenance and scalability.

Preferred Qualifications

• • Experience developing AI agents or multi-step agentic workflows.
• • Experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.
• • Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search.
• • Experience with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or comparable AI development tools.
• • Experience with automation platforms such as n8n, Make, Zapier, or similar technologies.
• • Familiarity with SQL and relational databases.
• • Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
• • Experience with Git or similar version-control systems.
• • Experience developing applications involving document processing, document management, or large volumes of unstructured data.
