  • Translate ambiguous business requirements into clear backlogs, technical specifications, and acceptance criteria.
  • Build reusable AI delivery assets including reference architectures, prompt libraries, and evaluation harnesses.
  • Coach and mentor senior engineers through design reviews and hands-on problem solving.

What we're looking for

  • 15–20 years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, or enterprise technology delivery.
  • Proven experience delivering production enterprise systems in complex, regulated environments.
  • Hands-on experience designing and guiding the delivery of LLM-powered applications, including RAG pipelines and tool-use agents.
  • Strong command of cloud-native architectures, security best practices, and observability.
  • Practical experience with embeddings, semantic search, vector databases, re-rankers, and RAG evaluation frameworks.
  • Experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise platforms, data systems, and systems-of-record.
  • Demonstrated delivery leadership across large transformation programs such as ERP modernization or cloud migration.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; cloud certifications (preferred).
