Lead ML & AI Engineer

What's the role?

In this role you will build the core AI building blocks models, agents, and retrieval components that domain teams consume rather than rebuild, and provides hands-on technical leadership for the engineers building alongside them. In addition you will:

Build Core AI Components

• Own end-to-end delivery of core building blocks e.g., the representation-retrieval critical path (embeddings, similarity search, semantics) that other domain teams call into.

• Take architectural direction from the Principal/Lead Engineer and turn it into a working, production-ready component — not just a prototype.

Technical Leadership Without Full Architectural Ownership

• Provide day-to-day technical leadership for AI/ML Engineer and Geo AI Engineer team members working on related components.

• Make implementation-level technical calls independently; escalate genuine architectural questions to the Principal Engineer rather than deciding them ad hoc.

Bridging Architecture and Execution

• Translate the Principal enginner architectural decisions into concrete technical specs the rest of the team can build against.

• Flag early when a building block being built won't actually generalize across domain teams, before it ships.
