The Role
CoTrain is onboarding experienced AI Engineers to join our private expert marketplace and work directly with high-growth companies, enterprise teams, and well-funded startups building AI-powered products at the frontier.
This is not a traditional job listing.
CoTrain is built for proven engineers who specialize in building real AI systems — not just experimenting. As an AI Engineer on CoTrain, you will work on production-grade machine learning and LLM-driven applications, including agents, retrieval systems, model integrations, and scalable AI infrastructure.
Experts on CoTrain contribute across:
Applied machine learning systems
LLM and generative AI product development
AI automation and agent workflows
Enterprise AI integrations and deployment

You are a strong fit if you have:
4+ years of professional engineering experience, with significant focus in AI/ML
Strong proficiency in Python and modern AI development frameworks
Experience building and shipping AI-powered applications in production
Familiarity with LLM workflows, evaluation, and real-world deployment constraints
Strong understanding of data pipelines, model performance, and system scalability
Ability to work independently and deliver with minimal supervision
Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Upper-intermediate English or higher
Nice to Have
Experience with LLM frameworks
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, and semantic search
Fine-tuning, model optimization, or training workflows
MLOps experience (deployment, monitoring, model lifecycle management)
Cloud infrastructure familiarity (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Experience building AI agents, automation systems, or multimodal applications
Responsibilities
As an AI Engineer on CoTrain, you may work on projects such as:
Building AI-enabled products using LLMs and modern ML techniques
Designing and deploying scalable AI services and APIs
Developing retrieval systems, agent workflows, and evaluation pipelines
Improving model performance, latency, cost efficiency, and reliability
Collaborating with product and engineering teams to ship AI features end-to-end
Supporting secure deployment, monitoring, and ongoing iteration of AI systems
Documenting technical decisions and maintaining high engineering standards
Why CoTrain
CoTrain is building the future of expert AI work — and the demand is already here.
Right now, founders, CTOs, and AI product teams are actively looking for experienced AI Engineers to help them ship real systems: production LLM applications, AI automation, enterprise deployments, and next-generation intelligent products.
The problem is not a lack of opportunity.
The problem is that top AI talent is difficult to find, difficult to vet, and often lost inside noisy, low-signal marketplaces.
CoTrain changes that.
We are creating a private network where proven AI Engineers are matched directly with companies that are ready to pay for real expertise — not experimentation.
Once accepted, you are not competing in an open marketplace.
You are joining a trusted ecosystem where companies come with immediate AI needs, ongoing projects, and long-term demand for high-quality builders at the frontier.
CoTrain is built for:
Consistent work from serious companies
Premium compensation aligned with AI expertise
Direct access to decision-makers
Long-term opportunity, not one-off gigs
If you are an experienced AI Engineer looking for better clients, better pay, and work that actually matters — CoTrain is where that future is being built.
