• Help shape operational building blocks like pricing and fleet logic where AI automation is a lever to boost effectiveness and customer centricity.

Requirements:

• Degree in Computer Science (CS), Business Informatics, Data Science, Engineering — or comparable practical experience. (Great base, but not a must.)

• Strong systems thinking across architecture, reliability, security, governance, and operations for AI workloads.
• Ability to lead through influence: reference architectures, standards, reviews, mentoring, and stakeholder alignment
• Working style: Entrepreneurial, structured, hands-on, outcome-driven; comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from scratch.
• Fluent English; willingness to travel as required for rollout and market enablement.
