Lead Tech Business Mgmt - AI Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly adaptable and technically versatile AI Software Engineer to design, build, and maintain data-driven solutions that connect systems, automate processes, and generate actionable insights.

This role requires a strong blend of software engineering, data engineering, analytics, and AI/ML expertise. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with unfamiliar technologies, learning new platforms quickly, and integrating disparate systems through APIs and automation.

Success in this role depends less on experience with any single technology stack and more on the ability to understand complex business problems, rapidly acquire new technical knowledge, and build scalable solutions that bridge data, applications, and AI capabilities.

• Troubleshoot integration issues and optimize performance, reliability, and scalability.

• Evaluate new platforms and software solutions and rapidly develop working integrations.
  
  

Data Engineering & Analytics

• Extract, transform, and load (ETL/ELT) data from multiple structured and unstructured data sources.

• Design scalable data pipelines and data models to support reporting, analytics, and AI initiatives.

• Work directly with raw, complex, and potentially incomplete datasets to create trusted data assets.

• Ensure data quality, governance, security, and lineage standards are met.

• Optimize data processing workflows for performance and reliability.
  
  

AI / Machine Learning Enablement

• Integrate AI services, LLMs, predictive models, and intelligent automation capabilities into business workflows.

• Support development and deployment of AI and machine learning solutions.

• Prepare, transform, and engineer data for ML and GenAI use cases.

• Partner with business teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven process improvements.

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and recommend practical business applications.
  
  

Reporting & Visualization

• Design and develop dashboards, reports, and visualizations that drive business decisions.

• Translate complex datasets into intuitive and actionable insights.

• Work closely with leadership and business stakeholders to define KPIs and success metrics.

• Build self-service analytics solutions where appropriate.
  
  

Technology Evaluation & Continuous Learning

• Rapidly learn unfamiliar systems, platforms, and technologies.

• Assess new tools and determine technical feasibility, integration requirements, and business value.

• Serve as a technical problem solver capable of navigating ambiguity.

• Stay current with emerging trends in AI, machine learning, analytics, cloud technologies, and software development.
