What you will own
• Data platform architecture and delivery -- the foundation that everything else depends on
• Machine learning and AI system design, from model training through to production operation
• Real-time data ingestion and processing at scale across heterogeneous hardware and markets
• All foundational technology decisions: stack, tooling, infrastructure approach
• Production reliability of every system and model the team ships

• AI product scope and packaging
• Technical relationships with Driivz's most strategically significant operator accounts
• Data strategy and technology roadmap
• teamwork with the CPO to define the art of the possible use cases

What we are looking for
Non-negotiable
• You have built a data or AI platform from 0 to 1 at a B2B SaaS or industrial technology company.
• You have shipped AI systems that execute decisions or actions in production.
• You have led a data or AI team across engineering and science disciplines.
• You are technically deep and commercially aware.



You can design a data architecture in the morning and have a credible commercial conversation with a senior operator in the afternoon.
• You operate well under ambiguity. You are the person who turns the former into the latter.
Strong signal
• EV, energy, smart grid, or industrial IoT background or a clear track record of acquiring deep domain knowledge quickly in a new technical vertical
• Production experience with agentic or autonomous AI including cost optimization and efficiency
• Industrial or IoT protocol experience: OCPP, MQTT, or equivalent, high-frequency event streams from hardware at scale
• Snowflake at production scale: schema design, real-time ingestion pipelines, ML integration, cost governance
• Confidence calibration and threshold design for AI systems that operate without human approval on every decision
• Effective cross-timezone leadership: comfortable building a high-performing team while operating as a daily peer to global commercial and CS leade
