Applied AI Specialist (m/f/d)
Your mission
Overview
We’re seeking an Applied AI Technical Project Manager to lead AI initiatives. The role centers on scoping, planning, prioritizing, and delivering AI solutions that integrate into internal and external products and workflows. You have prior hands-on experience as a developer in the AI space and can go deep when needed, but your primary value is directing teams, aligning stakeholders, managing risks, timelines, and budgets, and ensuring high-quality delivery. You will coordinate engineers, designers, data specialists, and business owners, communicate clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, and own the roadmap and KPIs for AI features across on-prem and cloud environments.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end delivery of AI initiatives: define scope, success metrics, milestones, and acceptance criteria
Create and maintain AI roadmaps and backlogs; run sprint planning, reviews, and cross-team coordination
Translate business needs into technical requirements and interface specifications for APIs, services, and integrations
Lead technical discovery and solution design for LLM, RAG, Vision, and generative use cases
Plan resources and budgets; sequence work, manage dependencies, and remove delivery blockers
Establish delivery quality: code review gates, CI/CD, monitoring, and post-launch KPIs
Oversee on-prem and cloud deployments, including security, data governance, and cost controls
Communicate status and risks clearly to stakeholders; produce concise docs and demos for decision-making
Drive knowledge transfer and enablement for developers and non-technical users of AI tools
Track model and platform changes and assess impact on existing solutions; manage upgrades and deprecations
Your profile
Required Skills
3+ years as a software/ML engineer building AI features or platforms, with shipped production use cases
2+ years leading AI projects or acting as a technical project/program manager
Proven delivery using AI and ability to review designs and guide technical trade-offs
Solid Python familiarity with frameworks such as AI-SDK, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar
Experience with web APIs, systems design basics, and networking fundamentals
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences
Experience running agile and tools (e.g., Jira) and setting measurable product KPIs
Nice to have
Vendor evaluation and contract management for AI platforms or model providers
Background in on-prem/hybrid deployments, security reviews, and compliance
Public speaking, enablement sessions, or internal training on AI topics
Why us?
You’ll work in a software engineering environment where AI drives real impact. From building a chatbot page builder to automating workflows, your prototypes will shape how we work. You’ll collaborate with a young team consisting of programmers, data scientists, students, and management. This is a chance to experiment, build, and grow in a hybrid on-site/remote role. Submit your resume and a short note about your experience with AI and tool-building to [ [email protected] ].
