AI Engineer
The defining engineering job of this decade. Over four quarters you go from your first line of Python to shipping complete AI products: chatbots grounded in real data, document pipelines, voice agents, and autonomous workflows. Every quarter ends with a real project you defend orally — because we produce engineers, not button-clickers.
What you'll be able to do
- Write solid Python and think like a programmer
- Build full-stack applications with modern frameworks and databases
- Integrate AI models through APIs: chat, vision, and structured outputs
- Build RAG systems that ground AI in real documents and data
- Design and ship autonomous agents and AI-powered automations
- Graduate with a portfolio of deployed projects — and the ability to defend every line
