Entry Level AI Software Engineer

Introduction

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: to build, design, code, consult, and innovate. Join our team to lead in a new era of technology and solve challenging problems.

Your Role And Responsibilities

As an Entry Level AI Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and implement advanced AI solutions using IBM’s Watsonx platform and pretrained models like Granite. You will build scalable and secure applications on IBM Cloud while collaborating with Technical Account Managers, Solution Architects, UX/UI Designers, and other developers.

• Design, develop, and test AI applications and services.
• Write clean, efficient, documented code following best practices.
• Follow security standards and IBM policies.
• Participate in agile/scrum ceremonies.
• Collaborate with multiple teams to integrate AI components.

Required Technical And Professional Expertise

You should have experience as a full stack developer with a focus on AI, including back-end technologies (Node.js, Python, Java, etc.), databases (Cassandra, PostgreSQL, etc.), and web technologies (HTTP, REST, JSON, HTML, Ajax, JavaScript). Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch, Hugging Face, or OpenAI API is essential, as well as basic LLM prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques. Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and strong analytical and collaboration skills are required.

Preferred Technical And Professional Experience

Experience with IBM Watsonx, IBM Cloud, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), micro-services, messaging brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka), and agile methodologies is highly desirable. Familiarity with operating systems like Red Hat or Ubuntu and automated testing tools is a plus.
