From onboarding assets to optimizing maintenance and stock, our platform will empower AI agents to support technicians with real-time, context-aware intelligence.

This is a hands-on and strategic position, ideal for someone who combines a strong software or ML engineering foundation with a passion for agent-based systems, scalable infrastructure, and applied AI.

Key Responsibilities

  • AI Solution Ownership: Lead the design and development of AI solutions from proof-of-concept to production using industry best practices.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with software engineers, data scientists, and business teams to embed AI into Ultimo's SaaS platform.
  • AI Leadership & Advocacy: Promote cutting-edge AI internally and externally, support university partnerships, write thought leadership, and attract top AI talent.

Who You Are

  • You're a hands-on technical leader with a strong understanding of AI/ML platforms, agent orchestration, and scalable deployment.
  • You have experience leading projects from experimentation to production, ideally in a SaaS or industrial tech environment.
  • You thrive in fast-moving teams, are comfortable with ambiguity, and enjoy working across disciplines.
  • You're passionate about solving real-world problems through applied AI, and building solutions that scale.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in ML or software engineering, with completed AI/ML projects in production.
  • Experience with agentic frameworks (e.g. Microsoft Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI) and building AI orchestration logic.
  • Strong background in AI system design, MLOps, DevOps, and model lifecycle management.
  • Solid programming experience in Python; C# is a plus.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work with technical and non-technical teams.
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum and working in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Able to make sound technical architecture decisions under pressure.

What Will Make You Shine

  • A track record of leading successful AI products or systems in production.
  • Experience influencing cross-functional teams and communicating complex AI concepts clearly.
  • Strategic thinking, collaborative mindset, and curiosity about what's next in agentic AI.
