Our client is seeking a Technical Lead to own AI project delivery end to end. You bring a proven track record building systems and are ready to lead others doing the same. This will start as a 12-month contract, 3 days/week in downtown Toronto.
What You'll Do
Intake & Scoping
Lead intake calls — surface the real problem behind the stated ask
Scope effort, timeline, and resourcing with the PM based on real build requirements
Assess feasibility early; say no (or "not yet") when work isn't a fit
Recommend simpler solutions when AI isn't the right answer
Technical Leadership
Lead AI-native engineers — set direction, review architecture, mentor
Make key calls: model/framework selection, build vs. buy, technical debt tradeoffs
Stay hands-on: prototyping, unblocking, code review, debugging evals
Define delivery standards — evaluation criteria, human-in-the-loop design, fallback behavior
Track the AI tooling landscape, favoring production-ready over novel
Delivery Ownership
Own end-to-end delivery across concurrent projects, accountable for outcomes
Run delivery cadence with the PM: milestones, risks, dependencies, escalations
Manage shifting requirements and resulting tradeoffs
Stakeholder Management
Primary contact for business stakeholders throughout the project
Proactively manage expectations; surface risks early
Present progress and tradeoffs to senior, non-technical audiences
Challenge assumptions and offer alternative approaches
Work across sponsors, product/ops teams, data platform teams, leadership, and external partners
What We're Looking For
8+ years in software/AI-ML engineering, including 3+ years leading technical teams, with substantial hands-on experience prior
Still hands-on — shipped production systems, can go deep on design
Experience building LLM applications: agentic workflows, RAG, orchestration, prompt/context engineering, evaluation
Strong Python and code review skills
Production experience on cloud AI/data platforms (Azure, AWS, Databricks, or similar)
Track record owning business-facing projects end to end, including when they slipped
Strong scoping instincts — can size effort accurately from a short conversation
Ability to influence senior stakeholders without formal authority
Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
Bonus
Consulting or agency background
Experience building delivery processes from scratch
Consumer goods or enterprise transformation experience
