AI Lead
Role Overview
We're looking for a hands-on Technical Program Lead to design and deliver enterprise GenAI/SLM solutions, including air-gapped, on-prem, and sovereign deployments. You'll own architecture end-to-end — model selection, infra, deployment, and governance — while leading delivery and the client relationship.
Key Responsibilities
● Architect GenAI/SLM solutions (RAG, agentic workflows, fine-tuning/distillation) suited to customer security and data-sensitivity constraints.
● Evaluate SLMs vs. LLMs (Phi, Mistral, Llama, Qwen, etc.) on cost, latency, and accuracy trade-offs.
● Design air-gapped/offline deployments — local inference, vector stores, and secure model/data update pipelines with no external dependency.
● Architect across hybrid environments: AWS/Azure/GCP, private cloud, and on-prem data centers, optimizing GPU/CPU cost and performance.
● Define AI governance: model evaluation, guardrails, audit logging, and responsible-AI practices — including offline-compatible monitoring for restricted environments.
● Lead client discovery workshops,



translate business requirements into a scoped delivery roadmap, and drive the engagement through to shipment/go-live.
● Own planning and task allocation across the team — break architecture into workstreams, assign to the right engineers, and sequence delivery against client timelines.
● Be the primary point of client interaction throughout the engagement — status updates, scope changes, escalations — not just at kickoff/handoff.
● Drive multiple projects/accounts in parallel, balancing priorities across engagements and flagging capacity or scope risk early.
● Lead a team of engineers/data scientists — planning, reviews, and unblocking delivery.
● Support pre-sales: scoping, estimation, and technical proposals.
Required Skills & Experience
● 8+ years in software/data engineering, 3+ years architecting production ML/GenAI solutions.
● Hands-on with SLMs/LLMs, fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA), quantization; Python, La
