Role
Who you are
- Are you a technical leader who excels at both managing complex AI delivery programs and contributing production-grade code?
- Former Senior Software Engineer, Solutions Architect, or equivalent, with demonstrated success in designing and implementing complex AI solutions
- Extensive experience in AI development, including successful implementations in analytics, machine learning models, and cloud architectures
- Proven comfort and effectiveness in client-facing roles, including conducting presentations, facilitating discovery sessions, and engaging in technical discussions at the executive level
- Exceptional technical writing skills, capable of crafting detailed, persuasive proposals and precise technical specifications
- Entrepreneurial mindset, driven by mission-focused initiatives and passionate about delivering technology that creates measurable business impact
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field (Master's degree preferred)
- 10+ years of professional experience building cutting-edge software with client-facing experience; experience with AI a must
- Demonstrated ability to manage and mentor cross-functional teams
What the job involves
- Join us in revolutionizing how companies build and how people work by leading transformative AI initiatives at A.Team
- As A.Team’s first AI Delivery Lead/ Architect, you'll own the full delivery lifecycle of complex, multi-workstream AI programs while contributing production-grade code to A.Team's AI Solutions Platform
- Your mission is to design the delivery framework that scales our consulting model while maintaining your identity as an elite hands-on engineer
- Establish the playbook for A.Team's AI delivery for client projects — scope, plan, and run 3-6 concurrent projects (LLM apps, MLOps, RAG, agent orchestration)
- Refine SOW & sales-to-delivery hand-offs for zero-surprise launches
- Track detailed project KPIs (velocity, burn-up, MTTR, margin, resource utilization) and regularly report to the internal team
- Own client relationships & escalations; translate technical progress to C-suite value
- Protect project margin (± 3% of plan) while sustaining delivery excellence
- Establish quality gates—code review, automated tests, model-card compliance
- Train and manage delivery managers in the A.Team network as our Company grows
- Ensure client’s project goals are met (quality, accuracy scoring, value creation KPIs, etc.)
- Key Outcomes:
- On-time delivery ± 5%
- NPS ≥ 95%
- Ship code: Python/TypeScript micro-services, vector-DB abstractions, prompt-engineering SDKs
- Orchestrate reusability across multiple missions
- Embed A.Team engineering into deployed missions to gather industry/vertical specific domain knowledge
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.
