Company Summary Aegion is an AI strategy and implementation firm for mid-market companies. We work with businesses doing $10M to $100M in revenue to identify where AI and machine learning create real P& L impact, and then we build it. Our team comes from operating roles at Fortune 500 companies, top-tier management consulting at firms, and leading venture capital and investment banking firms. We've sat in the rooms where these decisions get made and lived with the consequences of getting them wrong. That background shapes how we work: business outcome first, technology second. What makes us different is where we start. Most AI vendors start with the tool and look for a problem. We start with the client's margins, their workflows, and their team's time and work backward to the right intervention. Then we stay through execution, redesigning processes, structuring data, and managing the change required to make it stick. Why Join Us At Aegion AI, candidates should be comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with flexibility to support extended working hours whenever business demands. If you're passionate about building scalable products and leveraging AI to solve real-world problems, we'd love to hear from you!
