The posting

X by 2 is a technology consulting firm specializing in healthcare and insurance transformation. For over 25 years, we have partnered with leading organizations across North America — from strategy and architecture to system modernization, data analytics, and AI — delivering high-impact solutions from start to finish. We're agile, collaborative, and deeply committed to doing consulting the way it was meant to be done.

We are looking for a Technical Lead who will lead the design and development of AI solutions within enterprise environments for our clients. You'll combine hands-on engineering with leadership, guiding architecture decisions, mentoring teams, and building solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Technical Leadership & Architecture Lead architecture, design, development, testing, and deployment of enterprise software solutions (applications, data, integration, AI agents, AI models) Participate in strategy and roadmap discussions, architecture definition, and technology evaluations Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance Quickly evaluate and adopt new tools, technologies, and platforms to build prototypes and proofs-of-concept Drive adoption of AI solutions and collaborate with engineering teams, product leaders, and domain experts to deliver results Software Engineering Design, develop, and maintain scalable, production-grade enterprise applications using modern languages and frameworks (Python, Java, C#, JavaScript) Define and enforce coding standards, best practices, and design patterns across the team Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-deployed services (AWS, Azure) Integrate enterprise systems via APIs, event-driven architectures, and messaging platforms Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and system reliability issues Data & Analytics Work with large, complex datasets and ensure data quality and integrity Analyze data to generate insights that inform both model development and broader solution strategy Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business problems into data-driven solutions AI / Machine Learning Development Design, develop, and train machine learning and deep learning models for healthcare and insurance use cases Perform data modeling and feature engineering to support model development Develop custom model metrics and approaches tailored to specific business problems Ensure models are scalable, reliable, and integrated into production systems Agentic AI Development Design and develop LLM-powered workflows and agentic systems that help users complete complex tasks, retrieve information, reason over enterprise data, or interact with internal systems. Integrate LLMs with tools, APIs, databases, documents, and enterprise platforms using patterns such as function calling, MCP, RAG, and structured tool use. Architect orchestration patterns for planning, task decomposition, memory, context management, and human-in-the-loop review where appropriate. Develop orchestration layers to manage agent planning, memory, task decomposition, and execution loops Evaluate agentic systems for correctness, reliability, safety, observability, auditability, and harden them for production readiness. Stay current with emerging AI frameworks and platforms, selecting tools pragmatically based on client needs.

Qualifications

  • Experience 6+ years of experience in software engineering designing and developing enterprise applications, data/analytics solutions, and/or integration solutions 1+ years of providing technical leadership as Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or Architect 1+ years in developing AI agents and/or AI model development and training Education Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Development, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering (Optional) Master's Degree or Minor in AI/Machine Learning or Statistics AI Engineering Skills (Two or More) Agentic AI: building and integrating autonomous AI agents using LLM APIs and orchestration frameworks (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, MCP) Machine Learning & Deep Learning: developing and training models using standard ML/DL frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) Data Engineering & Feature Engineering: building data pipelines, performing feature engineering, and ensuring data quality across large, complex datasets Context Engineering: Agentic SQL retrieval, MCP integration, agentic tool use, as well as vector databases & RAG techniques implementing retrieval-augmented generation patterns using vector stores (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, ChromaDB), . LLM Prompt Engineering & Fine-Tuning: designing and evaluating effective prompts, system instructions, and fine-tuning strategies for production LLM applications AI Evaluation & Production Readiness: defining evaluation methods, testing model behavior, monitoring performance, and addressing reliability, safety, explainability, and auditability concerns What We're Looking For You move fluidly between writing code and leading a room — equally comfortable in a design review as you are in a pull request You have strong opinions about architecture and aren't afraid to share them, but you know when to listen and adapt You take ownership seriously — on small teams, your decisions have real impact and you're energized by that, not intimidated You're genuinely curious about AI, not just checking a box — you've experimented with agentic systems, LLMs, or ML tools on your own terms You communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders, and can translate complexity without dumbing it down

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.
