What are we looking for?

  • Academic background in Engineering, Economics, Computing, Mathematics, Statistics or related fields
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience
  • Strong communication skills — comfortable working with non-technical business stakeholders
  • Hands-on experience with LLM/AI tooling (agents, RAG, automation frameworks) would be a strong plus
  • Strategic mindset — able to think beyond immediate tickets toward team/capability building
  • Some experience with data-driven applications and workflows
  • Prior team lead or mentoring experience a plus, given the growth path to head of AI²
  • Fluent in English
