About the Role:
The Company is seeking a Head of Applied AI Engineering to establish and lead a new applied AI engineering team while remaining deeply hands-on. The role focuses on designing, building, and deploying production AI systems, including agentic applications, conversational tools, and predictive models for complex enterprise workflows. The successful candidate will set engineering standards, integrate AI solutions with customer systems, and guide a multidisciplinary team. They will also partner directly with strategic customers and senior stakeholders, translating business needs into technical plans and supporting adoption and growth. Candidates should have 10 or more years of software engineering experience, at least a couple of years managing technical teams, and a strong record of taking AI or machine-learning systems from experimentation into production. Strong Python skills and experience with LLM applications, agentic systems, enterprise integrations, and large-scale data are important; familiarity with cloud infrastructure and modern data technologies is valuable. Relevant experience in healthcare, life sciences, or other complex enterprise environments is preferred, along with customer-facing technical leadership and startup experience. No specific degree is required; demonstrated engineering ability, technical leadership, and business impact are prioritized. Functions Engineering
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
