Job summary

eNGINE is seeking an AI Program Lead to design and steer how AI is used across the business, balancing practical value with feasible roadmaps. You’ll operate at the intersection of technical architecture and business strategy, guiding a small team and collaborating with executives to translate fuzzy problems into well-scoped AI initiatives.

The role requires hands-on engineering or architecture background, deep knowledge of Azure, Fabric, and Power Platform, and a track record delivering AI

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience with technical leadership, architecture, or product capacity.
• Bachelor's degree in computer information systems or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience in AI, ML, and analytics
• Strong, recent experience architecting solutions on Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and Power Platform
• Deep experience with AI-driven customer service solutions
• Track record leading AI or data initiatives end-to-end in a cloud environment — ROI, cost optimization, security, and governance
• Comfort explaining architectural tradeoffs to executive stakeholders
• Strong grounding in traditional ML concepts (training, inference, evaluation, drift) and working knowledge of computer vision
• Experience building roadmaps, setting success metrics up front, and weighing value against feasibility and risk
• Familiarity with the Microsoft AI ecosystem — Fabric, Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and Azure data/AI services
• Ability to guide technical teams and external partners without writing production code day-to-day

Responsibilities

• Partnering with business leaders to translate fuzzy problems into well-scoped AI initiatives
• Architecting solutions using the right approach for the job — agents/copilots, LLM reasoning and automation, computer vision, or traditional ML
• Building and maintaining the AI roadmap, balancing near‑term wins against longer‑term capability building
• Making sure AI initiatives are coordinated and prioritized as part of one program, not scattered one‑off experiments
• Defining success metrics before a project kicks off, not after it ships
• Leading a small technical team without needing to be the one writing production code
• Owning the practical realities of running AI in production: cost, security, data privacy, responsible AI practices, and monitoring adoption and effectiveness
