About the Company and the Role:

We are looking for an AI Team Lead to own the machine learning and agentic AI layer of our platform and lead the team building it. You will set the technical direction, lead a team of AI and ML engineers, and stay hands-on in the code. This is a player-coach role, not a management-only one. The role spans both halves of the problem. Classical machine learning does the ranking, classification and behavioural baselining that decides what deserves attention;
LLM-driven agents do the reasoning and investigation on top. You need genuine depth in both, and judgement about which one a given problem actually calls for. Ownership here is real. You decide which models run where and why, you run the R&D; that answers that question, you own local and self-hosted deployment for customers with private-cloud or sovereign constraints, and you own how inference cost, latency and quality hold up as the product scales.

Required Skills
- 8+ years in machine learning, applied AI or data science, with at least 4 years deploying and owning production systems.




- 2+ years leading or tech-leading an AI/ML team while remaining hands-on. You have set direction, reviewed others' work, and shipped your own.
- You have owned ML and agentic AI workflows in production — chose the approach, shipped it, and stayed accountable for how it behaved. Research and prototypes are not the same thing.
- Strong knowledge of machine learning algorithms for classification, ranking, clustering and anomaly detection on structured and semi-structured data such aslogs, alerts, identity and cloud events.
- Robust LLM application engineering: retrieval-augmented generation and grounding, agent orchestration and tool use, structured output, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning or domain adaptation.
- Hands-on with local and self-hosted models (vLLM, TGI, Ollama or equivalent):quantisation, GPU and hardware sizing, and the throughput, latency and cost trade-offs that come with them.
