Location: Alpharetta, GA (Hybrid)
Duration: 12 Months
Key Skills and Responsibilities
GenAI Engineer / GenAI Developer Advocate
Hybrid
100% hands-on engineer with strong enablement & communication skills.
Primary Focus:
Help internal development teams adopt GenAI tools
Build MVPs / starter code / SDKs
Run workshops and enablement sessions (not just close tickets)
This is not a traditional app dev role where they own a single product. It’s a central GenAI enablement/engineering role supporting multiple product teams.
MUST-HAVE REQUIREMENTS (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
Use this for hard filtering and first-pass screening.
1. GenAI Engineering Experience
Hands-on experience with GenAI tools such as (examples; at least one is required):
GitHub Copilot
Cursor
Windsurf
Other comparable AI coding assistants / GenAI dev tools
Can describe how they used these tools in real engineering scenarios (not just playing around).
2. Strong Prompt Engineering Skills
Can demonstrate structured, thoughtful prompt design:
Designing prompts for complex tasks
Iterating and refining prompts based on output
Understanding of context, system vs user prompts, constraints, etc.
Able to explain prompt tradeoffs, guardrails, and failure modes in their own words.
3. 100% Hands-On Engineer
Current or very recent role must be hands-on coding (not pure architecture, not pure management).
Comfortable:
Building prototypes / MVPs
Writing starter code / SDKs
Integrating GenAI tools into development workflows
They should want to stay close to code and tooling.
4. Exceptional Communication & Enablement Ability
This is critical and should be a heavy screen.
Candidate must:
Be able to run workshops and training / enablement sessions for engineering teams.
Be able to lead discovery sessions with dev managers:
Understand their use case
Suggest solutions
Decide whether to build or connect to an existing solution
Be comfortable presenting to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Speak clearly, logically, and confidently; able to explain complex technical GenAI concepts in simple terms.
