About the role

AI Strategy & Roadmap Ownership: Serve as the primary architect for the technical and AI roadmap, pivoting the organization from tactical management to high-velocity, intelligence-driven delivery. Engineering Excellence (The “Strike Team” Model): Lead and mentor a consolidated team of elite, vetted experts, prioritizing high talent density over volume to ensure 100% certainty in AI and backend execution.

What they're looking for

  • AI/ML Expertise: Demonstrated success integrating and scaling AI/ML products (LLMs, agents, predictive models) within production environments. Deep familiarity with modern AI architectures and the build-vs-buy decision framework
  • High Talent Density Hiring: Proven ability to recruit, retain, and develop elite technical talent. Track record of building lean, high-performing teams that out-execute much larger organizations
  • Architectural Oversight: Deep technical credibility across modern cloud architectures (GCP/AWS), APIs, microservices, and data pipelines. Capable of guiding strategic build-vs-buy and platform decisions and partnering effectively with senior architects
  • Capital Efficiency Discipline: Experience managing engineering and AI/research budgets with measurable ROI. History of reducing coordination overhead while maximizing output per dollar
  • Compliance & Security Leadership: Expertise establishing IT, security, and compliance frameworks — including data privacy, IAM protocols, and technical risk mitigation. HIPAA, SOC2, or HITRUST experience required
  • Operational Rigor: Experience implementing documented feedback loops, succession planning (“Shadow Pipelines”), and zero-downtime delivery practices that scale predictably under pressure
