What the job involves
- As an AI Architect, you'll be at the forefront of AI innovation, working with the latest technologies across an incredibly diverse portfolio of client challenges. Instead of being siloed in a single department working on the same problems, you'll operate at the intersection of client mission delivery and internal product innovation, giving you

- Build systems that define industry standards rather than follow them
Our take
A.Team’s member-only gig marketplace for what it calls “builders” – product engineers and other high-skill tech workers – allows member companies to quickly put together distributed teams. Despite only emerging from stealth mode in the second quarter of 2022, the startup has already onboarded the likes of Lyft, The Economist and Pepsico.
The company’s launch came at an opportune time. As the so-called “great resignation” opens up a world of opportunities for skilled tech workers, the global gig economy is generating more money than ever, and remote-friendly working conditions mean that rapidly formed, distributed teams are now working on more high stakes projects than ever.
A.Team has wasted no time in raising huge amounts of funding to scale and expand both its in-house team as well as its network of members. Firstminutecapital provided VC funding in 2023 so now the company is focused on keeping its standards high, from both the client and service provider perspective, as the company grows rapidly.
