Job description

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

  • Make key calls: model/framework selection, build vs. buy, technical debt tradeoffs
  • 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
