Head of AI

In this role, you will

• Define and drive the company's AI strategy, turning business opportunities into a structured roadmap of AI initiatives
• Identify, evaluate, and prioritize AI use cases across product development and internal business processes
• Lead the design and implementation of production-ready LLM solutions, including AI agents, multi-agent systems, and generative features
• Build and scale internal AI tools that improve engineering productivity and are actively adopted by other teams
• Evaluate the business case for AI initiatives before development, estimating expected impact, development costs, and inference expenses
• Establish measurement frameworks to assess the actual impact of AI solutions, define baselines, and distinguish real improvements from external factors
• Introduce engineering standards and best practices for AI development, including architecture, evaluation, security, and reliability
• Work closely with engineering and product teams to integrate AI into existing workflows, development processes, and products

It’s all about you

• 5+ years of software development experience (we’re open to considering candidates with less experience if they have strong relevant expertise)
• 2+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-based solutions in production, including AI agents, integrations, and generative features
• Experience developing internal tools and AI solutions actively used by other teams
• Ability to evaluate the economics of AI initiatives before development, including expected business impact, development costs, and inference costs
• Experience measuring the actual impact of implemented solutions, defining baselines, choosing measurement methods, and separating results from external factors
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle, including estimation, code reviews, and release management
• Understanding of product metrics such as conversion, retention, ARPU, and unit economics
• Upper-Intermediate (B2) English or higher
