  • Champion AI-assisted software development practices that improve delivery speed, quality, and productivity.
  • Manage team resources, budgets, priorities, and execution across multiple high-impact workstreams.
  • Lead, coach, recruit, retain, and develop AI Engineering and Data Engineering talent while fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What you bring to the table:

  • Strategic and technical leadership with the ability to connect AI engineering work to business goals.
  • Strong commercial judgment and the ability to understand pricing, revenue, margin, and customer-value drivers.
  • Analytical problem-solving skills and curiosity for using data to improve decision quality.
  • Clear communication skills, including the ability to translate complex AI, analytics, and engineering concepts into business-focused recommendations.
  • Cross-functional collaboration and influence across product, business, finance, sales, digital, and technology stakeholders.
  • A people-first leadership style focused on coaching, talent development, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • An innovation mindset and comfort leading change in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Strong prioritization skills with the ability to balance multiple initiatives, risks, resources, and outcomes.

What’s needed- Basic Qualifications:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
