We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer who builds things that matter. You will design and ship end-to-end AI solutions for some of APAC's most complex enterprise problems - spanning agentic AI systems, LLM applications, and production ML pipelines. This is a hands-on engineering role embedded within a customer-facing field team, meaning your work will be seen, used, and evaluated by real enterprises from day one.
You will work alongside Kaggle Grandmasters, ML engineers, and domain experts to deliver AI that goes beyond demos - into production, into workflows, and into measurable business outcomes.
Lead end-to-end technical engagement with enterprise customers, acting as the senior point of accountability for delivery quality, stakeholder relationships, and outcomes.
Serve as the primary technical escalation point for customer issues, proactively identifying risks and driving resolution across engineering, product, and leadership.
Build and maintain trusted relationships with customer data science teams, engineering leads, and executive stakeholders – translating business needs into technical direction and back again.
