Roles & Responsibilities
Lead the pre-sales and technical discovery sessions with enterprise and mid-market clients globally — understand their pain points, data maturity, and AI readiness before anyone writes a line of code
Own the solution design for AI proposals: use case scoping, high-level system design, data requirements, and ROI framing
Build and present compelling PoC demos, solution blueprints, and technical proposals in partnership with the commercial team
Respond to RFPs and RFIs with technically rigorous and commercially sharp responses that win confidence
Act as a trusted AI advisor to client stakeholders — CXOs, VPs of Operations, IT leaders — not just a technical vendor on the call
Run workshops, AI readiness assessments, and value stream mapping sessions at client sites and remotely
Navigate ambiguous problem spaces and help clients articulate what they actually want to solve with AI, and why it matters
Build long-term client relationships that translate into deepened engagements, referrals, and expanded mandates
Be deeply involved in deployment — not just design. Understand production constraints, integration complexity, and change management realities
Collaborate with engineering and data science teams to ensure solution designs are buildable and delivered to the quality clients expect
Drive go-live milestones, client acceptance, and post-deployment success metrics with accountability
Debug, iterate, and adapt: you own outcomes, not just deliverables. If something is broken, you fix it
Define AI architecture patterns for the firm: LLM orchestration, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, multi-modal systems
Stay ahead on applied AI research and emerging frameworks; bring relevant signals back to the team before the market does
Mentor junior AI engineers and consultants on both client engagement craft and solution architecture rigour
Contribute to Anthrobyte's knowledge capital — case studies,
whitepapers, internal playbooks, and reusable solution accelerators
Develop the whole tech department
Create pods kind of a structure for each and every project

3
Mandatory (Experience 2): Must be deeply hands-on, able to build SLMs, agentic structures, RAG pipelines, LLM orchestration and multi-modal systems, and get into cost/credit optimisation detail, not just high-level oversight
4
Mandatory (Experience 3): Must have 4+ years client-facing as a trusted AI advisor to CXOs/VPs of Operations/IT leaders, with a proven presales/solution-consulting track record (technical discovery, use-case scoping, solution design, ROI framing, PoC demos, blueprints, RFP/RFI responses)
5
Mandatory (Experience 4): Must have run workshops, AI readiness assessments and value-stream-mapping sessions, navigated ambiguous problem spaces, and built long-term client relationships that lead to referrals and expanded mandates
6
Mandatory (Experience 5): Must have designed and deployed end-to-end AI systems (ingestion, pipelines, deployment, monitoring, iteration), owning production constraints, integration, change management, go-live, client acceptance and post-deployment success, owning outcomes and fixing what breaks
7

8
Mandatory (Experience 7): Must have built and led their own team, creating a pod structure per project, and mentored junior AI engineers and consultants

Mandatory (Skill 1): Must have strong storytelling, making complex AI accessible to business audiences without dumbing it down, and define AI architecture patterns and bring emerging frameworks/research back to the team
11

12
Mandatory (Company): Must have experience across both services and product (this is a services-plus-product hybrid; candidates keen on pure product only are not a fit)
13
Mandatory (Background): Must come from an AI/ML, data analytics or data-platform company with enterprise client delivery, ideally with startup or growing-company experience having seen AI build cycles in 0 to 1 / ambiguous environments; Supply Chain AI exposure, or manufacturing/logistics, B2B SaaS AI or MLOps background, a plus
14
