The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Build proofs of concept and production integrations hands-on inside customer environments, working within their infrastructure and security constraints.
- Advise customers on model selection, fine-tuning approaches and evaluation practices as they move from experimentation to production.
- Manage relationships across multiple stakeholders, identify internal champions and align the right people to move opportunities forward.
- Share recurring customer challenges and deployment patterns with product and engineering teams to inform the roadmap.
- Travel domestically to customer sites as needed.

- A track record of delivering working AI or ML software in a client's own live systems, with hands-on exposure to large language model serving and fine-tuning.
- Working knowledge of open-model serving tools and the trade-offs involved in inference, plus comfort in the terminal.
- Experience deploying and running infrastructure for open-model inference.
- Solid Python programming ability, along with experience running GPU workloads on a major cloud platform and familiarity with Kubernetes.
- Executive presence in enterprise settings, able to hold a technical deep-dive with an engineer and present architecture trade-offs to a senior executive on the same day.
- Experience carrying a pre-sales technical engagement from the first call through proof of concept scoping, evaluations and model recommendations.
- Background at an AI-focused startup, or at an enterprise software company building AI features.
- Experience working with a major cloud provider in an AI capacity.
- Willingness to travel domestically to customers.
