An AI company delivering end-to-end AI solutions—spanning foundation models, developer tooling, and enterprise-grade applications—is hiring a Technical Lead for its Applied AI function.
This person will oversee delivery of advanced AI systems for large customers operating in regulated or high-complexity sectors such as banking, healthcare, and industrial production.
What This Role Involves
This is a player-coach position: you'll manage a small team of AI engineers while staying directly involved in building and reviewing code for the most technically demanding pieces of each engagement. You'll be the go-to technical contact for key accounts, spanning early scoping conversations through to rollout and support, and you'll coordinate closely with teams in research, product, and engineering.
