VP AI & Data

We are seeking a highly experienced and dynamic Vice President of Engineering to lead our engineering organization and drive the development of next‑generation AI‑first SaaS products. You will own Agentic Fabric, our multi‑tenant, cloud‑agnostic platform for building, deploying, and governing autonomous AI agents. This position shapes the technical direction, execution, and culture of a fast‑growing, cross‑functional team.

Your duties and responsibilities include:

• Craft and continuously refine the north‑star strategy for Agentic Fabric, ensuring tight alignment with company OKRs and product road maps.
• Define and own the end‑to‑end AI & data architecture (data mesh, feature/vector stores, LLMOps workflows, governance processes).
• Oversee design and delivery of a cloud‑agnostic, multi‑tenant.
• Establish engineering standards for prompt and agent development, model lifecycle management, observability, and cost optimization.
• Drive buy‑versus‑build decisions on foundation models and vector‑search infrastructure; negotiate vendor contracts where needed.
• Hire, lead, and mentor a high‑caliber team spanning AI engineering, MLOps, data engineering, analytics, and governance; create career ladders and performance metrics.
• Foster a culture of rapid experimentation coupled with rigorous measurement, A/B testing, and blameless postmortems.
• Translate technical capabilities into compelling business value stories; partner with GMs and PMs to embed agents in workflows that drive revenue lift or cost savings.
• Evangelize the company’s AI vision externally by speaking at industry events, nurturing OSS contributions, and forging collaborations with research labs and universities.

Must-have Qualifications

• 10 + years total experience; 5 + years leading engineering or data/ML teams, ideally in SaaS or platform organizations.
• Demonstrated delivery of production AI/ML platforms serving multiple product teams or external customers.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, MLOps, and data architecture across at least two major clouds.
• Proven track record building and scaling multi‑tenant services with strict security and cost boundaries.
• Strong command of LLM/agentic technologies: RAG, function‑calling, evaluation harnesses, fine‑tuning/RLHF.
• Executive‑level communication skills—able to convince, negotiate, and translate AI concepts for non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience designing or enforcing AI governance, privacy, and compliance frameworks.

Advantages

• Success launching a monetized developer platform or external AI API.
• Leadership in open-source communities, patents, or peer reviewed AI publications.
• Background in FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization for AI workloads.
• Experience in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, or telecommunications.
• Robust professional network within the AI ecosystem (research labs, VCs, standards bodies).
