About the role
- Translate product ideas, domain concepts, and company vision into intelligent systems that reason over food, ingredients, nutrition, and user preferences.
- Design and implement AI-powered features end-to-end, including model selection, orchestration, inference pipelines, confidence handling, and integration with product workflows.
- Guide teams through decisions on model tradeoffs, data quality, evaluation strategies, observability, explainability, and long-term system evolution.
- Influence without authority — shaping engineering culture, mentoring senior engineers, and raising the organizational bar for how intelligence is built and trusted.
- Own architecture for AI and intelligence systems across model integration, inference pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and product interfaces.
- Lead solution design for high-complexity, AI-driven initiatives and deliver production-ready implementations when needed.
- Define patterns and standards for safe, observable, and explainable AI usage across teams
- Diagnose and resolve issues across data inputs, model behavior, system integration, and user-facing outcomes.
- Mentor senior engineers and elevate engineering culture around intelligent system design
