Job description

from Qualys careers

Come work at a place where innovation and teamwork come together to support the most exciting missions in the world!

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced engineer to design and deliver AI-powered applications, intelligent workflows, and automation solutions that drive measurable business impact. In this role, you’ll operate at the intersection of enterprise application engineering, automation, data integration, and AI systems deployment. You’ll apply strong systems thinking to connect model APIs, data sources, and workflow layers—unlocking improvements in speed, quality, and outcomes.

Focused on applied AI and GenAI, you will bridge emerging capabilities with real-world enterprise use cases, building and scaling production-grade AI solutions in a highly collaborative environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and deploy AI-enabled RAG pipelines and intelligent workflows that connect enterprise systems, data sources, model APIs, and automation layers using modern ML and LLMs
  • Design and evolve backend services, APIs, and integrations, including retrieval, prompting, tool-calling, and orchestration patterns for use cases such as knowledge assistants, workflow automation, and decision support
  • Leverage AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery, applying a strong “editor” mindset to rigorously review, secure, and standardize AI-generated code for reliability, security, observability, and documentation
  • Develop and implement evaluation frameworks to measure output quality, retrieval accuracy, latency, and failure modes, and continuously improve system performance
