Lola Blankets is seeking a Tech Lead - AI & Automation to join our team. In this highly hands-on technical leadership role, you will be responsible for translating product ideas and data science capabilities into production-ready AI solutions, balancing experimentation with scalable engineering practices.
What You'll Do
- Lead the technical design and implementation of AI-powered product features from concept through production.
- Own end-to-end architecture for AI solutions, including data flows, model integration, APIs, and application integration.
- Make pragmatic decisions to accelerate delivery while maintaining system integrity.
- Ensure AI solutions are secure, observable, scalable, and aligned with platform standards.
- Act as the technical lead for a cross-functional AI Pod.
- Break down product requirements into executable technical workstreams and prototypes.
- Guide rapid iteration cycles, proofs-of-concept, and MVPs, balancing experimentation with production readiness.
- Review code, architecture, and technical decisions to maintain quality and velocity.
- Partner closely with Product Management to shape problem definitions, success metrics, and delivery plans.
- Collaborate with the Data Science Leader to integrate models, analytics, and data assets into product workflows.
- Translate data science outputs into consumable APIs, services, and product features.
- Provide technical feedback on feasibility, scope, and tradeoffs during product discovery.
- Ensure AI features are production-grade, including monitoring, logging, and performance tracking.
- Implement guardrails around AI usage, including reliability, latency, cost controls, and failure modes.
- Support experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, and post-launch learning loops.
- Drive responsible AI practices, including explainability, bias awareness, and data privacy considerations.
- Define and enforce lightweight engineering standards for AI-enabled systems.
- Promote reuse of components, prompts, pipelines, and services across AI initiatives.
