AI Technical Lead

Purpose of this Position

The AI Technical Lead is a seasoned AI practitioner and trusted client consultant who serves as the senior technical voice of VeilSun's AI Practice. This role is consultant first. Before a model is selected or an integration is built, the Technical Lead has done the harder and more important work. They have learned the client's business, their data, and their goals, and achieved Radical Alignment on what AI should accomplish and why. Radical Alignment is genuine, documented agreement with the client on what is being built, why it is being built, and what success looks like before development begins.

This role combines hands-on AI engineering depth with the consultative presence to guide enterprise AI roadmaps and AI service package engagements. Their expertise goes well beyond third-party AI tools. It includes models, APIs, MCP servers, and the work of connecting AI securely to client data and schemas.

The AI Technical Lead also carries an internal mandate. They redesign how VeilSun delivers, prove on real projects that AI can compress weeks of technical work into days, and build AI capability across the delivery organization. Low code moves the work. AI makes it intelligent. This role makes that promise real for our clients and keeps VeilSun's low-code practices competitive and growing.

Business Outcomes

Success in this role means AI engagements deliver measurable client value, VeilSun delivers faster with leaner teams, and AI capability is spreading across the delivery organization. You will be measured on:

• Engagement quality. AI roadmaps and service package engagements are technically sound, right-sized, and tied to client business outcomes.
• Client satisfaction. Clients feel heard, informed, and confident. Risks around data, security, and model behavior are surfaced early and worked through together.
• Acceleration results. Complex work such as data mapping and code generation moves from weeks or months to days. Results are measured, documented, and repeatable.
• Team enablement. Delivery team members, including PMs and leadership, show measurable growth in AI skills and day-to-day adoption.
• Knowledge distribution. AI expertise is held by multiple team members, not one person.
• Commercial discipline. Meets the billable utilization target agreed with AI Practice leadership. Estimates are accurate and margin is protected.

Core Responsibilities

Enterprise AI Roadmapping & Client Consulting

• Serve as the technical expert on enterprise AI roadmap and AI service package engagements, partnering with the AI Services Lead and the project lead.
• Lead discovery with discipline. Learn the client's business, data landscape, and systems before recommending an AI approach.
• Achieve Radical Alignment on AI use cases, success measures, and boundaries before any build begins.
• Translate AI possibilities into practical, phased roadmaps that deliver value in small, high-value increments.
• Advise clients candidly on what AI can and cannot do today. Redirect them away from poorly fit use cases, unsafe data practices, or oversized investments.
• Educate client stakeholders on tradeoffs among cost, accuracy, security, and speed so they can make informed decisions.
• Partner with the Solution Engineer during the handoff from sales so technical design and estimates carry into delivery intact.

AI Engineering & Architecture

• Design and build AI solutions that go beyond off-the-shelf tools, including model selection, API integration, prompt and agent design, and MCP server development.
• Connect AI to client data and schemas securely, with attention to data quality, access controls, and governance.
• Integrate AI capabilities with the Quickbase, Mendix, and custom web applications delivered by VeilSun's other practices.
• Serve as the primary technical authority on assigned AI engagements. Make and defend architecture decisions with confidence.
• Establish and document AI development standards
