Viral Nation is seeking an AI Integration Engineer, AI/ML to serve as the primary technical engineer translating high‑level architectural visions into production‑ready reality. Reporting directly to the Principal Architect, AI/ML and VP of Engineering, you will be responsible for the hands‑on development, integration, and deployment of AI/ML models and agentic workflows within our GCP ecosystem.

What You’ll Do Here:

• Transform the Principal Architect’s reference architectures into scalable, deployable code using Python, GKE, and Cloud Run.
• Build agentic ecosystems using Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) and Model Context Protocol (MCP), focusing on Agent‑to‑Agent (A2A) orchestration patterns defined by the Architect.
• Apply advanced prompt engineering and context engineering techniques to optimize LLM performance, ensuring agents maintain state and accuracy over long interactions.
• Develop and tune high‑fidelity RAG pipelines using the Google RAG Engine and Agent Engine to provide precise context for influencer marketing workflows.
• Apply machine learning techniques to massive datasets to implement automated anomaly detection, forecasting, and trend analysis.
• Perform advanced data science and analysis by generating and querying high‑dimensional video and text embeddings to extract insights from social media content.
• Integrate Gemini and Model Garden LLMs into production applications while managing token limits and context window optimization.
• Partner with the Architect to implement MLOps practices that track agent performance, cost‑efficiency, and ethical AI safeguards within the GCP IAM framework.

What You’ll Need To Have:

• Advanced proficiency in Python for AI/ML backend development, data analysis, and API construction.
• Deep understanding of prompt engineering strategies (Chain‑of‑Thought, ReAct) and context engineering to maximize model reasoning capabilities.
• Hands‑on experience with Google ADK, MCP, Vertex AI Pipelines, and the Google RAG Engine.
• Practical experience applying classical ML algorithms for regression, forecasting, and anomaly detection on large‑scale datasets.
• Strong understanding of vector databases and manipulation of video/text embeddings for semantic search and classification.
• Deep experience with GitHub Actions to support SDLC workflows and CI/CD standards established by the Principal Architect.

Nice To Haves:

• Experience with Snowflake Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, and the Snowflake Intelligence ecosystem.
• Proficiency in Node.js for full‑stack integration layer and tool development.
• Prior experience in the digital marketing or influencer marketing space.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration using Docker and GKE.

Compensation Philosophy:

At Viral Nation, compensation is structured, performance‑led, and market‑aligned. Pay decisions are intentional, based on role requirements, performance, and market alignment by country, and are set to maintain internal pay equity across comparable roles and levels.

Compensation progression is tied to demonstrated performance, expanded scope, and sustained contribution over time, not tenure alone. Employee compensation is reviewed regularly through formal performance reviews and check‑ins to ensure alignment with role expectations and impact.

DEI Commitment:

Viral Nation is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our agency. Viral Nation welcomes applications from people with visible and non‑visible disabilities. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the recruiting and selection process.
