The Role
This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of a newly formed AI function. You'll work across platform engineering, enterprise architecture, infrastructure, and applied AI to design and deploy production-grade AI systems that can be leveraged throughout the organization.

Deploy production LLM applications using modern enterprise AI technologies.
Integrate AI capabilities into existing business systems and workflows.
Build reusable AI services that support multiple internal teams and business functions.
Develop solutions including knowledge assistants, document intelligence, enterprise search, and workflow automation.
Establish best practices around AI security, governance, and responsible AI.
Partner with technical and business stakeholders to identify high-impact AI opportunities and deliver practical solutions.
What You'll Bring
Experience building and deploying production AI applications.
Strong Azure and cloud infrastructure experience.
Experience integrating LLMs into enterprise environments.
Background building data pipelines, backend systems, and enterprise integrations.
Experience with orchestration frameworks, AI agents, or workflow automation.
Strong software engineering and systems architecture fundamentals.
Ability to operate across engineering, infrastructure, and technical strategy.
Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Have
Experience with Microsoft Copilot or Azure OpenAI.
Graph database or knowledge graph experience.
Experience working in highly regulated or enterprise environments.

Why Join?
Join a newly established AI team with the opportunity to build core capabilities from day one.
Own highly visible technical initiatives with significant influence over architecture and platform direction.
Solve complex enterprise problems using modern AI technologies.
Work in a collaborative environment with high ownership and broad technical scope.
Competitive compensation of $160,000-$185,000 base + 15% target bonus, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to shape a company's AI journey from the ground up.
