Team Overview
Target’s Advanced AI team builds end-to-end AI/ML systems that create meaningful business value across the enterprise. These systems may be powered by LLMs, classical machine learning, or deep learning models, and are designed as scalable, reliable, production-grade applications, including agentic architectures where they add clear value.
Role Overview
As a Senior AI Engineer for Advanced AI, you will help build, deploy, and maintain AI/ML applications that support automation, insight, and action across core business workflows. You will work closely with Data Scientists, engineers, product partners, platform teams, security teams, and business stakeholders to turn well-defined and moderately ambiguous business problems into practical technical solutions.
In this role, you will contribute hands-on to the development of production-grade AI applications. You will write maintainable, well-tested code, support model and framework integration, build APIs and services, develop data and application workflows, and contribute to deployment, monitoring, documentation, and production support. You will help ensure AI applications are secure, reliable, maintainable, and aligned to Target’s enterprise standards for infrastructure, platform architecture, data handling, and operational readiness.
You will also partner with Lead and Principal Engineers to evaluate technical options, identify implementation risks, resolve engineering roadblocks, and improve reusable AI engineering patterns. This role requires curiosity and continuous learning, including staying current with developments in AI, machine learning, LLMs, agentic systems, and modern software engineering practices. A successful Senior AI Engineer will help deliver high-quality AI applications that create measurable business value while contributing to the technical strength of the team.
