• Integrate AI solutions with existing enterprise systems, including CRM and ERP platforms, data warehouses, APIs, and legacy data environments.
• Evaluate AI readiness, technical architecture, data requirements, and implementation considerations to determine the most effective approach for each initiative.
• Drive adoption of AI solutions through training, documentation, change management, and close partnership with business and technology teams.
• Develop reusable frameworks, playbooks, tools, and best practices that accelerate future AI initiatives and create consistency across the organization.
• Advise senior leadership on AI strategy, implementation opportunities, technical tradeoffs, risks, and emerging capabilities.
• Coach engineers and business leaders, helping internal teams develop the skills and processes necessary to independently build, deploy, and scale AI solutions.
• Stay current on emerging AI technologies and identify practical opportunities to apply new capabilities to meaningful business problems.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering, technical architecture, AI engineering, or related experience, with a demonstrated ability to build and launch production solutions.

• Proven experience taking new products or technical solutions from concept through development and production, including 0-to-1 initiatives.
• Strong systems integration experience with enterprise applications, APIs, data platforms, and complex or fragmented data environments.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to quickly understand unfamiliar technologies, business processes, and data environments.
• Ability to balance speed and scalability, rapidly developing solutions while applying appropriate technical rigor for production environments.
• Strong business acumen and executive presence with the ability to advise senior leaders, challenge assumptions, and translate technical concepts into business terms.
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently, manage multiple initiatives, and deliver results in highly ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders without formal authority.
