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

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
