Job Summary:
Serving as the Lead Architect of AI Transformation, this role is the visionary and technical engine behind redefining how the organization builds software. Much like a technical evangelist and researcher, you will bridge the gap between "Research AI" and "Applied AI Engineering." Your mission is to revolutionize the engineering lifecycle through AI, establish world-class methodologies for AI-native product development, and act as a high-impact coach to transition the entire engineering team into an AI-augmented powerhouse. You will ensure we don't just "use AI," but fundamentally change how we engineer for the future.
The Opportunity:
AI-Driven Engineering Transformation
Methodology Research: Deeply research and define the next generation of software engineering workflows (e.g., Software 2.0, Agentic Workflows, AI-assisted coding architectures).
Process Redesign: Diagnose existing engineering bottlenecks and deploy AI tools/frameworks to automate and optimize the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), achieving radical efficiency gains.
Evolutionary Catalyst: Serve as a "Strategic Catalyst" to steer the engineering culture toward an AI-Native mindset.
Product Engineering & AI Integration
AI Engineering Excellence: Design and oversee the implementation of robust, scalable AI engineering patterns (LLMOps, RAG architectures, and fine-tuning pipelines) to bring AI capabilities into the core product portfolio.
Agile Prototyping: Rapidly translate the latest breakthroughs in AI research (from multi-modal models to reasoning-step optimizations) into production-ready features with an agile, hands-on approach.
Technical Interpretation: Translate complex algorithmic logic and technical constraints into actionable business roadmaps and product strategies.
Capability Building & Knowledge Hub
Master Educator: Design and lead high-level AI training programs for senior engineers and architects, focusing on Prompt Engineering, model evaluation, and AI-native architecture.
AI Knowledge Hub: Build and iterate an enterprise-level repository of AI best practices, reusable code patterns, and internal benchmarks to ensure consistent technical excellence.
Talent Coaching: Mentor engineering leads on how to leverage AI to scale their own teams’ output and creative capacity.
Who you are:
Education & Qualifications
Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, AI, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
A proven track record of open-source contributions or technical thought leadership in the AI space.
Experience
5+ years of senior engineering experience, with at least 3+ years specifically focused on deploying AI/ML systems at scale.
Experience in Digital Transformation or leading large-scale engineering team transitions is highly preferred.
Professional Capabilities/Skills
AI Technical Mastery: Deep expertise in LLMs, Generative AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex), and modern AI infrastructure (GPU orchestration, vector databases).
Engineering Methodology: Strong opinions, weakly held, on software architecture, clean code in the age of AI, and "Human-in-the-loop" engineering systems.
Business Acumen: The ability to match bleeding-edge AI capabilities with specific market pain points and IVD/Tech business scenarios.
Soft Skills: Exceptional cross-functional communication and "Change Management" capabilities—the ability to inspire a team to unlearn old habits and embrace new paradigms.
This position also offers an attractive benefits package.
