Do you think like a management consultant, thrive in a startup environment, and can’t stop thinking about the intersection of data, technology, and marketing?
With over 2000 employees, offices on five continents, and world-class clients like Samsung, L’Oreal, and Mattel, is a consulting firm that transforms data into value and business impact. We’ve recently launched in the US with offices located in NYC and Los Angeles, and we want you to join us as an integral part of our founding team!
You will lead a team of AI & machine learning engineers and managers, driving the design and delivery of production-grade AI solutions — from classical machine learning models to LLM-powered applications — and the pipelines that power them. You’ll bring senior technical judgment to architecture and model decisions, partner closely with clients and business stakeholders — including hands-on pre-sales work shaping proposals and solution designs — and define how context engineering, agent harnesses, and fine-tuning practices get embedded into every solution, while reporting into senior AI/technology leadership on strategy and priorities.
AI & ML Solution Architecture: Leading the design, build, and optimization of production AI systems — classical machine learning models, LLM applications, and agentic systems — ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost-efficient inference.
Context Engineering: Defining and standardizing context engineering practices — prompt and system design, RAG architectures, vector stores, memory management, and tool/function calling — so models receive the right information at the right time.
Harness Engineering: Directing the build of robust agent harnesses — orchestration layers, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and observability — that make LLM systems reliable, safe, and measurable in production.
Fine-Tuning Pipelines: Leading the design and operation of fine-tuning and model adaptation pipelines — training data curation, supervised fine-tuning, evaluation, and deployment — to specialize models for client use cases.
Platform Stack: Architecting and deploying solutions on Google Gemini Enterprise and Vertex AI as the primary stack, applying working knowledge of Microsoft AI Foundry and AWS Bedrock where client contexts require.
Team Leadership: Managing, mentoring, and developing a team of AI & ML engineers; setting technical standards and fostering best practices and knowledge sharing.
Pre-Sales & Business Development: Supporting pre-sales activities — scoping engagements, building demos and proofs of concept, and presenting solution architectures to prospective clients alongside account teams.
Machine Learning Modeling: Overseeing the development of classical and modern ML models — predictive modeling, forecasting, recommendation, and deep learning — choosing the right technique for each business problem, LLM or not.
Contributing to AI Strategy: Partnering with senior leadership to shape GenAI architecture direction, tooling decisions, and platform roadmap within your area.

Требования

The ideal candidate has a substantial software engineering and AI background with 8+ years of experience, including at least 2–3 years working on LLM architecture, agentic design, and harness & context engineering.
Strong expertise in generative AI/LLM engineering — context engineering, agent harnesses, RAG, and agentic coding — and in cloud-native software architecture, with proven production deployments.
Master’s degree (or higher) in computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
Hands-on command of agentic SDKs (LangGraph/LangChain, Google ADK, Claude Agent SDK), agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor), and modern full-stack frameworks (TypeScript/React front ends; Python/Node backends).
Experience designing cloud architectures: microservices, serverless, containers/Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.
Solid grasp of AI system design: agents, tool use, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, observability, and LLMOps.
Experience with data & context modeling and ingestion/processing pipelines on data lakes and data warehouses, including vector and graph storage strategies (embeddings, knowledge graphs).
Deep experience with Google Gemini Enterprise / Vertex AI; basic working knowledge of Microsoft AI Foundry and AWS Bedrock.
Experience leading and growing engineering teams, and supporting pre-sales: proposals, demos, and solution scoping with clients.
Excellent communication skills and comfort collaborating across teams and with stakeholders.
Strong business acumen with an interest in business-facing work.
Adaptability and a start-up mentality to thrive in a dynamic environment.
