• Drive product vision alignment by partnering with Product Owners and commercial stakeholders to ensure every feature delivers measurable user value
• Lead development of AI/ML-powered features - model integration, inference pipelines, data transformations - with a relentless focus on user experience and adoption
• Ensure production-ready models across the lifecycle including training, monitoring, retraining, and rollback
• Enable parametrized, automated, and reusable data/model pipelines that accelerate feature delivery and ensure interoperability across the analytics ecosystem
• Synthesize data and model outputs into user-friendly visualizations and interfaces that non-technical users can act on confidently
• Stay current with emerging AI/ML technologies and evaluate their applicability to DecisionIQ's product roadmap
2) Application Development & Stakeholder Collaboration
• Partner with global commercial teams, brand leads, and regional stakeholders to deeply understand user workflows, pain points, and unmet needs
• Translate user requirements into technical specifications, ensuring alignment between business intent and engineering execution
• Collaborate with cross-functional data scientists to integrate analytical models into production application features
• Drive iterative development cycles with rapid prototyping, user feedback loops, and continuous improvement of DecisionIQ capabilities
• Coordinate with enterprise Data and AI Platform teams to leverage shared infrastructure while maintaining product delivery velocity
3) Engineering Excellence & Quality
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment standards that ensure reliable, frequent releases
• Define quality standards including test coverage targets, release readiness criteria, and production monitoring
• Leverage observability tools to gain insights into system behavior and proactively address issues
• Champion DevSecOps practices: embed security controls and compliance checks into development workflows
4) People Leadership & Team Development
• Build and mentor a high-performing team of AI engineers, full-stack developers, and QA engineers in India
• Set technical direction, career paths, and coaching routines; foster a culture of ownership, learning, and engineering excellence
• Coach direct reports to adopt best practices, improve technical skills, and achieve professional growth
• Lead contractor and vendor support to extend capabilities and maximize delivery efficiency
• Drive engineering maturity through design docs, architecture decision records (ADRs), code reviews, and continuous learning (labs, guilds, demos)
This role covers a broad spectrum of skills and we encourage you to apply even if you meet partially.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field
• 12+ years in software engineering, data science, or related technical fields
• 5+ years leading technical teams with people management responsibilities
• Strong hands-on experience building and shipping AI/ML-powered products end-to-end
• Proficiency in Python with experience in ML frameworks (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
• Hands-on experience with LLMOps frameworks (LangChain, MLflow, Langfuse) and cloud AI services (SageMaker, Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry)
• Proven experience delivering user-facing data science / AI applications for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience with complex data sources including anonymized patient data (EMR/Claims)
• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal); ability to work across global time zones
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Computer Science, AI/ML, Data Science, or Engineering
• Experience with full-stack web development (React, Vue; HTML, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap)
• Experience with data science platforms (Dataiku DSS, SageMaker) and BI/visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, Dash, Streamlit)
• Experience in regulated/compliance-aware environments (GxP, HIPAA, SOC2)
• Background in product management or product-led engineering teams
• Certifications: AWS/Azure Professional, CKA/CKAD, ISTQB, HashiCorp Terraform
