- Strong technical leadership building and operating production AI systems at scale
- Proven expertise in AI/ML disciplines like NLP, computer vision, recommendation systems
- Strong technical background in web development, ideally in a full-stack environment with expertise in React, Python, and Node.js
- Experience with cloud architecture, DevOps, data/ML pipelines and infrastructure
- Exceptional people management skills to motivate, mentor and grow high-performers
- Excellent communicator able to simplify technical AI/ML concepts for cross-functional teams
- Proven ability to lead teams in an agile, fast-paced environment, with a strong focus on collaboration and stakeholder management
