Description du poste

The Technical Lead is a central, deeply hands-on role at vector8. You will write code, build solutions, and directly drive the delivery of enterprise-grade data and AI systems — while providing the technical direction and mentorship that helps the team around you excel. This is not a primarily hands off, high level management position: you are expected to be in the codebase every day, solving hard problems, unblocking teammates, and setting the bar for engineering quality. You bring strong hands-on engineering skills across data and AI, combined with the breadth to make sound technical decisions, navigate complex system landscapes, and ensure everything delivered is secure, performant, and compliant.

Job requirements

• Extensive and demonstrable experience in ML & data engineering & AI solution architectures.
• Deep expertise in designing and building complex AI solutions (MLOps, streaming, APIs, orchestration).
• Strong hands-on engineering skills - comfortable coding in Python, SQL, or similar languages and working with modern data/AI toolchains.
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP data/AI services; multi-cloud familiarity is a strong plus.
• Knowledge of data governance, responsible AI, security frameworks, and operational controls, ideally coupled with experience in highly regulated industries with strict requirements for security, privacy, compliance, and data governance.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to influence both executives and engineering teams.
• Ability to convert complex challenges into clear architectural decisions and actionable delivery plans.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or a related field.

Job responsibilities

• Contribute directly to solution development validating technical approaches when needed.
• Support teams during complex engineering tasks, unblock challenges, and ensure the final solution aligns with the architecture.
• Hands-on delivery is the primary mode — you lead from the front, writing code and solving problems directly alongside the team.

Hands-on Contributor

• Contribute directly to solution development validating technical approaches when needed.

Drive Technical Delivery & Team Leadership

• Lead cross-functional delivery teams of data engineers, ML engineers, MLOps specialists, and software developers.
• Define technical workstreams, review code and designs, and ensure architectural coherence throughout the implementation.
• Provide coaching, mentoring, and thought leadership to elevate engineering quality and delivery excellence.

Data & AI Solutions Navigate Complex Systems & Regulated Environments

• Work across intricate enterprise ecosystems with heterogeneous applications, distributed data sources, and legacy components.
• Identify modernization paths and integration patterns that respect operational realities and long-standing constraints.
• Embed data protection, cybersecurity controls, governance, and compliance in solution design.

Enable AI at Scale

• Design architectures that support AI development, deployment, monitoring, governance, and lifecycle management.
