The Role
- Work directly with clients to understand their environment and challenges
- Identify opportunities where AI can solve real problems
- Design and architect bespoke solutions on a modern AI platform
- Collaborate with engineers to build, test and refine solutions
- Rapidly prototype and iterate based on real feedback
- (Lead level) Support and mentor other engineers, helping shape delivery
