Lead, AI & Automation

What You'll Do

Design & Build AI-Powered Solutions

• Evaluate and implement the right tools and platforms for each use case, drawing on a broad command of the AI and automation landscape
• Prototype rapidly, validate with stakeholders, and ship - iterating quickly based on real-world feedback

• Set the architectural standards and engineering practices that ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and production-grade

Drive Business Impact

• Partner with product leaders to identify and prioritize automation opportunities with clear ROI

• Build the documentation, standards, and practices that keep the team aligned and the codebase healthy

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of hands-on software development experience, with significant depth in AI/ML, intelligent automation, or related disciplines

• Strong proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript; fluency with REST APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

• Strong grasp of enterprise system integration patterns, data pipelines, and API-driven connectivity
• Experience leading or technically directing a small team of engineers, including offshore or distributed team members

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in manufacturing, distribution, supply chain, or packaging industries
• Hands-on experience with Power Automate, Azure OpenAI, Salesforce AgentForce, or other enterprise platforms in an automation/AI context
