Job summary

USEReady Inc. is seeking a veteran GenAI & agentic solutions presales lead in Bengaluru to own technical solutioning for AI pursuits. You will qualify ROI-focused use cases, design end-to-end architectures, and articulate total cost of ownership for enterprise buyers.

With 12+ years in software/data/ML and 3+ years building production LLM systems, you will guide discovery, drive demos, and govern data residency, security reviews, and vendor choices, partnering with CIOs and procurement.

Qualifications

• 12+ years in software, data, or ML
• 3+ years building or architecting production LLM-based systems
• Practical depth in RAG architectures, agent frameworks, prompt and context engineering, and evaluation methodology
• Familiarity with major model providers and tradeoffs between them on cost, latency, and reasoning quality
• Grounding in the underlying data layer — able to tell when an AI use case is really a data readiness problem
• Credible with a skeptical CIO and a security review board, not just an innovation team
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate business needs into technical solutions

Responsibilities

• Lead AI discovery workshops separating use cases with genuine ROI from ones that sound impressive and will not clear procurement.
• Design GenAI and agentic solutions end to end: retrieval architecture, agent orchestration, tool and MCP integration, human-in-the-loop design, and evaluation strategy.
• Define accuracy and performance targets in proposals, and define how they will be measured. Ambiguous success criteria are the single biggest source of fixed-price pain.
• Own the technical response for AI pursuits: architecture, estimates, model and platform selection, and total cost of ownership.
• Build demos and PoCs against client-representative data, including synthetic data approaches where client environments are not available.
• Address enterprise concerns directly data residency, PII handling, model governance, auditability, and alignment to NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001 where clients require it.
• Advise clients on where agents genuinely outperform deterministic pipelines, and where they do not.
