• Working knowledge of ML and data pipelines (deployment patterns, evaluation/monitoring, governance basics)
• Proven ability to translate customer requirements into clear architectures, implementation plans, and technical deliverables
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and executive stakeholders

Desirable

• SandboxAQ’s AI Simulation (AISim) division develops and applies Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) that are grounded in physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology to simulate molecular behavior with scientific precision and accelerate discovery in the physical world across biopharma, chemicals, advanced materials, healthcare, and so much more

• Lead customer onboarding and implementation for AISim Physics and ML-based solutions, including technical discovery, solution design, configuration, and production readiness
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to Product and Engineering teams; run architecture workshops and technical deep dives
• Build and maintain reference architectures, integration patterns, and implementation runbooks to improve time-to-value and reduce onboarding friction
• Drive enterprise-grade deployment best practices across security, identity/access, networking, observability, reliability, and cost/performance optimization
• Provide technical escalation support and root-cause analysis in partnership with Engineering; contribute to durable fixes and documentation
