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.

Ideal Candidate:

- Strong AI Forward Deployed Lead/Architect Profile: Owning the full journey from client discovery to production, hands-on and client-facing.
- 7 years of experience, with hands-on production AI/ML work (LLMs, NLP, computer vision or advanced analytics).
- 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 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).
- Experience running workshops, AI readiness assessments and value-stream-mapping sessions, navigating ambiguous problem spaces, and building long-term client relationships.
- 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.
- Experience working directly with enterprise-level clients in a client-facing capacity.
- Built and led their own team, creating a pod structure per project, and mentored junior AI engineers and consultants.
- Hands-on with Python, LLM frameworks (LangChain/LlamaIndex/HuggingFace) and cloud AI (AWS/Azure/GCP).
- Strong storytelling, making complex AI accessible to business audiences without dumbing it down, and define AI architecture patterns.
- Strong ownership, genuinely enthusiastic and client-facing, thrive in ambiguity and 0 to 1 environments.
- Experience across both services and product.
- Background in AI/ML, data analytics or data-platform company with enterprise client delivery; Supply Chain AI, manufacturing/logistics, B2B SaaS AI or MLOps background, a plus.
- Robust pedigree, ideally IIT, then BITS/NITs/IIITs, with a CSE/IT background.
- First 2 to 3 months on a consultant basis (same CTC, without full-time employee benefits) so both sides can assess fit, then converts to a full-time role.
- Global client exposure (US/Europe/Middle East/SEA) and cross-cultural fluency.
