Job Summary

This is a remote position.

AI CoE (Center of Excellence) Lead - Location: Remote; ~30% Travel required (Domestic International). Position Type: Full-Time Leadership (Director Level).

About the Role: We are seeking a visionary, hands-on AI CoE Lead to drive the architecture, engineering, and deployment of our AI-native solutions across Pharma Life Sciences, HiTech, and BFS. Partnering closely with the CTO and Head of Sales, you will champion a spec-driven development approach, leveraging AI to build rapid prototypes and create highly differentiated functional/technical specifications. You will lead an elite team of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who embed directly within client workflows to translate these specs and prototypes into production-grade software.

Key Responsibilities

- Spec-driven development AI prototyping: Pioneering a spec-driven engineering framework; leveraging AI coding tools and automation to build rapid, high-fidelity prototypes. Translate complex domain workflows into highly differentiated functional/technical specifications that power client demos, product buildouts, and seamless downstream implementations.
- AI architecture industry solutions: Drive the technical vision and modular expansion of our AI platform across Pharma (clinical/RD), HiTech (engineering workflows), and BFS (risk/operations).
- Lead Forward Deployed Engineers: Hire, mentor, and scale a team of FDEs who sit directly with client teams, work inside their data environments, and ship production-ready tools into active workflows based on robust specs.
- Sales Demo Partnership: Collaborate with the Head of Sales and CTO on high-stakes enterprise pitches, delivering custom technical architectures, functional specs, and live prototype demos tailored to client needs.
- Drive Workflow Adoption: Ensure models achieve sustained, unprompted daily usage by client teams. Translate client feedback directly back into core specs and product requirements.




- Standardize Infrastructure: Establish best practices for MLOps, model evaluations, data governance, and shared pipelines (build the plumbing once) to accelerate client go-lives from specs to deployment in weeks.
- Functional Thought Leadership: Act as the primary Functional authority on specific areas to drive AI adoption, building deep credibility with client CxOs, RD leaders, and business heads.

Qualifications & Experience

- Spec-driven rapid prototyping mastery: Demonstrated track record of using spec-driven development methodologies and leveraging AI tools (LLM coders, agentic workflows) to rapidly prototype, spec out, and validate complex enterprise software.
- Multi-domain context: Proven track record of deploying AI/ML solutions in enterprise settings, with deep familiarity in at least one core vertical (Pharma, HiTech, or BFS) and rapid learning agility across others.
- Technical leadership: 2+ years in AI/ML or enterprise software, with proven experience client-facing engagements from presales to implementation.
- Deep AI/ML expertise: Working knowledge of AI architecture, LLMs, RAG, NLP, and modern MLOps/data infrastructure.
- Executive communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical specs and prototypes for C-suite buyers and functional business leaders.

Core Mindset

- Agile builder: Combines high engineering standards with a bias for action, leveraging contemporary AI to accelerate prototyping and delivery.
- Insanely curious: Continuously tests, learns, and integrates emerging AI frameworks and development paradigms into real-world applications.
- Cross-functional partner: Bridges the gap effortlessly between commercial strategy, core engineering, and end-user needs.
