Job description

Overview

As an AI Engineer, you will leverage cutting-edge AI to solve complex, industry-specific problems, particularly within the maritime sector. You will be instrumental in a rapidly evolving, client-centric organization, making a significant impact by thinking critically, articulating a compelling vision, and guiding both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your role requires a proven ability to architect complex AI/ML solutions from problem framing to production-ready design, a profound understanding of diverse business models, and strong consultative sales skills to identify strategic pain points solvable by AI. You will build functional AI/ML prototypes with clean, modular code for production, assess data readiness, identify data gaps, and recommend robust data governance frameworks. Additionally, you will identify emerging trends, synthesize complex information, and present strategic recommendations to senior leadership and external audiences. Success hinges on your ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value, build strong client relationships, and drive consensus across diverse teams. You must be highly motivated to drive initiatives independently in a dynamic startup environment, with a passion for continuous learning and innovation.

Job Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and engage with high-value business opportunities and potential clients who can significantly benefit from advanced AI and machine learning solutions.
• Deeply understand client business challenges, pain points, and strategic goals, translating them into clear, solvable AI/ML problems.
• Design end-to-end AI solutions, articulating compelling value propositions and the strategic roadmap for adoption.
• Conduct in-depth assessments of client data infrastructure, data governance, data quality, and overall data maturity.
• Make expert judgment calls on data "AI-readiness" and provide actionable recommendations for data improvement, gap identification, and strategic data capitalization opportunities.
• Rapidly develop functional AI prototypes and Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) that are architecturally sound, adhere to best practices for maintainability, and are designed for production.
• Continuously research and evaluate the latest AI advancements, including Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Deep Learning, and MLOps methodologies. Synthesize findings into actionable insights, influencing our company's strategic roadmap, service offering development, and contributing to industry thought leadership through presentations to leadership and external forums (moderate to high emphasis).
• Collaborate effectively with the internal AI Production team, ensuring prototypes and solution designs are well-documented, understood, and seamlessly integrated into the full development lifecycle.
• Clearly define the business case, expected return on investment (ROI), and measurable benefits of proposed AI/ML implementations, simplifying complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
