\n\n\n\nAuto req ID:10591BRExternal Job Title:AI Applications EngineerPosition Responsibilities:About the Role
We're building an enterprise ERP system from scratch where AI isn't a feature-it's the foundation.
Join Deltek's Engineering and Technology team to create the first truly AI-native SMB ERP. Users will chat with their system instead of clicking through forms. Intelligent agents will handle routine tasks autonomously. And you'll use AI to write better code faster.
This is a greenfield project. No legacy constraints. No technical debt. Just the opportunity to reimagine what enterprise software can be when designed for AI from day one.
You'll deliver features independently while learning from senior engineers who are defining the future of software development. If you want to master AI-assisted development while building something genuinely new, this is it.
Key Responsibilities
Implement AI-powered ERP components using Java, Quarkus, and PostgreSQL following established architectural patterns
Apply prompt engineering strategies designed by senior engineers to enhance ERP modules with natural language interfaces and conversational experiences
Integrate pre-trained machine learning models into ERP features including data classification, predictive analytics, and intelligent workflow automation
Implement RESTful APIs connecting digital assistant services with core ERP business logic based on provided specifications
Independently own medium-complexity features from implementation through deployment, ensuring code quality and performance
Conduct thorough testing and validation of AI-enhanced features including integration testing, prompt effectiveness validation, and performance verification
Participate actively in code reviews, incorporating feedback and learning from senior team members
Support entry-level engineers and interns with coding questions, best practices, and technical guidance
Contribute to technical documentation for features and components you develop
Work Location:India-RemoteQualifications:Education & Experience
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science, or related technical field
2-4 years of professional experience in software development
Proven track record of delivering production code in enterprise or SaaS environments
Experience working in agile development environments and collaborating with cross-functional teams
Technical Skills
Programming Languages: Proficient in Java (Java 17+) and Python with demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable code
Frameworks: Experience with Quarkus, Spring Boot, or similar enterprise Java frameworks
Database: Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with PostgreSQL including writing optimized queries
Prompt Engineering: Experience working with large language models (GPT, Claude, LLaMA) and implementing prompts in production applications
API Development: Experience implementing RESTful APIs with proper authentication and error handling
Development Tools: Proficient with Git, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and modern IDEs
Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or OCI services
Problem-Solving: Strong analytical skills with ability to debug complex issues across the stack
AI-First Mindset
This role requires embracing an AI-first approach where GenAI and agentic AI tools are essential collaborators, not optional supplements. We expect team members who naturally think in AI-enhanced workflows and proactively integrate intelligent automation to solve ERP development challenges more efficiently.
The ideal candidate has strong interest in prompt engineering techniques and conversational AI systems, with understanding of how to craft effective prompts for business @contexts. You should be curious about natural language processing and how AI enhances user experiences, along with basic awareness of AI ethics and prompt safety considerations.
We're looking for someone who approaches ERP feature development by first asking: "How can AI help me build this functionality faster and better?" This includes being comfortable with rapid AI tool evolution, eager to experiment with new AI capabilities for prompt engineering and ERP optimization, and committed to sharing AI-enhanced approaches with the team.
We value those who apply prompt engineering to solve real-world ERP business problems and see AI as a productivity multiplier for strategic development decisions, rather than a replacement for human expertise.Travel Requirements:10% Position Type:FTApplicant Privacy Notice:Deltek is committed to the protection and promotion of your privacy.
