[Hiring] Head of Engineering @BOI

Role Description

Own the Technical Build

• Own the architecture and engineering quality of every client build, from first prototype to production in the client's environment.
• Shape solution architecture across models, clouds and platforms, and make build, buy or configure calls you can defend to a client CTO. Our clients run on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.
• Set the engineering standards every build meets: evaluation of AI outputs, security and data governance, observability, and production reliability.
• Build the reusable components, patterns and internal products that let each engagement start further ahead than the last.

Lead with Clients

• Sit with client CTOs, CIOs and business executives as BOI's senior technical voice. Explain technical choices in terms of cost, risk and value, so non-technical leaders can decide.
• Lead client security, compliance and procurement reviews, and get our systems approved to run in their environments.
• Work forward deployed: get into client environments early, build alongside their teams, and keep building as the relationship grows.

Shape What We Sell

• Scope and estimate builds for proposals with our Directors of Applied AI, so what we sell can be built on time and to standard.
• Turn what we've built into case studies, reusable IP and technical thought leadership.

Build the Team

• Lead, coach and grow our engineering team, roughly doubling it over the next year. Set high standards, give direct feedback, and give credit generously.
• Run AI-first ways of working across engineering, with your own tools and workflows as the example.
• Help build BOI like an owner, alongside our leadership team in the US and Europe.

Qualifications

• You've shipped AI systems to production at enterprise scale, inside environments with real security, compliance and data constraints.
• You've led engineering in a consultancy, agency or other project-based environment.
• You've founded a company or been early at a startup.
• You explain technical choices to non-technical executives in plain language.

Requirements

• Comfortable with work that changes shape every few months and with stacks you didn't choose.
• Ability to build the team as well as the system, making good decisions before everything is known.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health benefits
• 401(k)
• 25 days PTO
• Hybrid working (if based out of NYC)
• Professional development support
• Opportunity to work alongside some of the world's leading AI practitioners on high-impact enterprise transformations.
