About the role

Job Type: FTE Level: Senior Department: AI Transformation Group Location: Remote (US or Canada) Rate: $175-$185K DOE (rates vary in Canada)

Position Overview The Senior Technical Engagement Lead owns the technical vision and direction across a portfolio of concurrent engagements within a single strategic account, consolidating separate projects into one coordinated build motion and serving as the trusted technical partner to client leadership. It is an architect-level seat weighted toward engagement leadership rather than day-to-day build, steering technical direction across work streams and keeping them coherent as the account scales.

Responsibilities  * Own the technical vision, architecture, and solution standards across all engagements within the account. * Drive the consolidation of multiple concurrent projects into a single coordinated build motion. * Set the technical direction the engineering team builds to, and provide planning and oversight across engagements so delivery meets client needs and quality standards. * Partner with the Program Manager on sequencing, dependencies, and burn tracking across the portfolio. * Serve as the trusted technical partner and primary technical point of contact for client executive stakeholders. * Between engagements, operate as a senior solution architect on active build work.

Qualifications * Proven leadership of large, multi-pronged engagements — multi-month, multi-work-stream programs at transformation, migration, or M&A scale. * Able to lead a growing engineering team and carry an executive client relationship at the same time; credible and personable with senior stakeholders. * Leadership-weighted: comfortable steering technical strategy across a portfolio rather than working heads-down on a single solution.

Additional Knowledge & Skills * AI solution architecture: agentic systems and multi-agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and semantic search at scale, prompt and context engineering, model selection and evaluation. * Azure AI stack: Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, and M365 / Graph integration. * Data architecture: embeddings and vectorization, retrieval pipelines, Microsoft Fabric, and grounding AI systems on enterprise data sources. * Identity, security, and governance: Entra ID, RBAC, OAuth on-behalf-of flows and permission inheritance, MCP server governance, and allowlist / default-deny postures. * Enterprise integration: REST and API integration with ERP, CRM, and line-of-business systems; designing for security-first sequencing and client review gates. * LLMOps and delivery quality: evaluation harnesses, telemetry, confidence thresholds, guardrails, and production monitoring of AI systems.
