About the Role

NICE is seeking a talented AI Engineer to accelerate innovation across the APAC region by leading AI-centric Proof of Concepts (POCs) and Pilots alongside our extended solution and sales engineering teams. This role sits at the intersection of cutting-edge AI development and customer-facing technical delivery, with a special focus on Agentic AI solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible with intelligent automation and large language models.

The AI Engineer will work hands-on to design, build, and demonstrate AI-powered solutions, translating complex technical capabilities into tangible business value for customers across APAC.

How will you make an impact?

Agentic AI POCs & Pilots

• Design and build Agentic AI proofs of concept

     Architect and develop end-to-end Agentic AI solutions demonstrating autonomous decision-making, multi-step reasoning, and task orchestration across APAC customer engagements.

• Prototype rapidly

     Build lightweight, demonstrable prototypes using LLMs, agent frameworks, and NICE /Cognigy platform APIs to showcase the art of the possible.

Development & Engineering

• Develop and integrate APIs, webhooks, and microservices connecting LLMs and AI models to enterprise platforms and CX workflows.
• Build and maintain reusable AI accelerator assets, code templates, and demo environments for the extended APAC team.
• Implement prompt engineering strategies, RAG pipelines, and agent orchestration frameworks LLM & AI Model Expertise
• Apply knowledge of large language models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, etc.) to design appropriate solutions for customer use cases.
• Evaluate and select the right model, fine-tuning approach, or retrieval strategy for each POC based on accuracy, latency, and cost requirements.
• Stay current with the rapidly evolving LLM ecosystem including model releases, agent frameworks, and emerging AI tooling.

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Contribute to internal playbooks, documentation, and demo libraries to uplift the broader team’s AI capabilities.
• Engage with customers directly to understand requirements and translate them into practical AI solution designs.

Have you got what it takes?

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• 4-8 years of software development experience in developing high performance, highly available and scalable enterprise-grade software products that can perform, scale, and integrate into a broad enterprise ecosystem.

Programming proficiency:

.

• Experience with REST APIs, JSON, cloud SDKs
• Familiarity with data processing, vector databases and embedding pipelines for RAG architecture.
• Ability to debug, iterate quickly, and deliver working demos under tight timelines.

AI & Machine Learning Understanding

• Solid conceptual and practical understanding of machine learning fundamentals, NLP/NLU, and generative AI.
• Experience designing or building Agentic AI systems — including tool use, memory, planning, and multi-agent coordination.
• Understanding of responsible AI practices, hallucination mitigation, and evaluation methodologies for LLM outputs.

LLM Usage & Prompt Engineering

• Proficient with LLM APIs     including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI, and open-source models via Hugging Face or Ollama.
• Strong prompt engineering skills: few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought, structured outputs, and system prompt design.

Version Control & Collaboration Tools

• GitHub / Git proficiency:

     Comfortable with branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative development workflows.

• Ability to manage, share, and version AI demo assets and code in shared repositories accessible to the extended team.
• Experience with CI/CD basics and familiarity with tools such as GitHub Actions, or similar pipelines, is advantageous.

.

You will have an advantage if you also have:

• Experience with NICE CXone, Cognigy (conversational AI & agent orchestration platform), or similar CCaaS / conversational AI platforms.
• Knowledge of the APAC technology landscape and experience working with enterprise customers in the region.
• Background in contact centre, CX, or enterprise SaaS environments.
• Exposure to voice AI, speech-to-text/text-to-speech pipelines, or real-time AI in contact Centre contexts.
