Staff AI Engineer - Boise, ID - Main Site, United States
Originally posted 8 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves building modern applications with AI as a first-class capability, focusing on designing and integrating AI-powered solutions.
What you'll do
- Design, build, test, deploy, and operate full stack software solutions while owning features end-to-end.
- Build and implement Custom AI Agents to support workflows like task automation, decision support, and summarization.
- Build and integrate systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable structured context sharing and interoperability.
- Integrate applications with external and internal AI services (LLMs, embeddings, search, tools) and harden AI components for critical physical manufacturing systems.
- Conduct requirements gathering, write code using programming, scripting, and database languages, and support testing, deployment, maintenance, and evolution.
What you'll need
- Strong foundation in full stack software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented design and clean code practices.
- Proven experience building and operating production-grade backend or full-stack systems, including API design, service integration, and data persistence.
- Ability to design and evolve scalable system architectures with tradeoffs across performance, reliability, security, and developer productivity.
- Experience working in cloud-native environments, including CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and modern operational practices.
- Solid understanding of data modeling and storage technologies (relational and non-relational).
- Experience with technologies such as C#, ASP.NET, Angular, RESTful APIs, SQL and NoSQL databases, and Kubernetes-based platforms.
- Experience designing and implementing Custom AI agents beyond simple chat interfaces, including developing skills for custom agents.
- AI-native skills such as Prompt Engineering, Vibe Coding, context window management, and chain-of-thought design.
- Experience integrating systems using MCP or equivalent structured agent/tool interfaces and strong understanding of prompt design and tool invocation.
- Ability to reason about hallucination risk, failure modes, permissions, and guardrails in AI-enabled systems, and hands-on experience integrating RAG-based systems.
Nice to have
- Demonstrated ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs and refine them for production-grade systems.
- Experience building interoperable AI systems without hard-coded integrations.
- Strong understanding of operationalizing AI in critical environments with high reliability and performance requirements.
- Experience designing and running distributed systems on Kubernetes, understanding message-driven architectures, horizontal scaling, fault tolerance, and multi-tenant workloads.
