Job description

As a Lead AI Engineer at Searce you will champion hands-on intelligent engineering, architect and deliver next-gen AI solutions that own client impact and scale meaningful business value.

What are we looking for

real solver?

Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. We're searching for the architects of the audacious & the pioneers of the possible. If you're the type to dismantle assumptions, re-engineer ‘best practices,’ and build solutions that make the future possible NOW, then you're speaking our language.

Improver. Solver. Futurist.
Great sense of humor.
‘Possible. It is.’ Mindset.
Compassionate collaborator. Bold experimenter. Tireless iterator.
Natural creativity that doesn’t just challenge the norm, but solves to design what’s better.
Thinks in systems. Solves at scale.

This Isn’t for Everyone. But if you’re the kind who questions why things are done a certain way— and then identifies 3 better ways to do it — we’d love to chat with you.
