The Director, AI Solutions Engineering will set the strategic direction of the AI practice, own architecture and governance across client engagements, advise executives, lead technical presales, and oversee production AI delivery across agentic automation, conversational AI, and predictive modeling.
Responsibilities
- Set the strategic direction of Bay6.ai's AI practice, including which capabilities to build in-house, which to source through partners, and how the offering portfolio evolves as the agentic tooling landscape matures
- Advise client executives on AI strategy and roadmap, sequencing investments and distinguishing where AI creates defensible business value from where it does not
- Work closely with Product Owners, Delivery Managers, Bay6.ai Leadership, and other Engineering Leads to unblock technical challenges by providing direction and solutions
- Own technical architecture and AI solution governance across all client engagements and set the standards that make that role repeatable rather than personal
- Design and oversee production agentic systems, including intake, outreach, escalation, and feedback-loop agents, with error handling and pre-deployment compliance gates
- Build and unblock critical-path work personally across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, secrets management, integrations, and model development
- Lead technical presales by running discovery with prospects, gathering requirements, and building the prototypes that convert opportunities into engagements
- Define and lead workstreams where ownership is currently implicit, making scope explicit before committing the business to it
- Maintain portfolio discipline across concurrent engagements, closing, merging, or reprioritizing stale work rather than allowing it to accumulate, and operating from program level down to individual tickets as the work requires
- Run client-facing AI governance, including participating in steering committees, AI Center of Excellence artifacts, standards and guidelines, and KPI and value frameworks, and report portfolio health and architecture risk to Bay6.ai leadership
