Jobs at Robots & Pencils

Designs and delivers complex cloud, data, and AI/ML systems. Responsibilities include building cloud-native microservices, serverless and containerized workloads; implementing infrastructure as code, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability; contributing to data platforms and MLOps; and integrating LLM capabilities. The role collaborates with engineering, data, AI, and product teams, documents architecture, participates in design reviews, establishes best practices, and mentors junior engineers.

Leads end-to-end architecture for complex cloud, data, and AI/ML systems. Defines technical strategy, designs scalable multi-cloud and hybrid solutions, establishes infrastructure-as-code and DevOps standards, drives migrations and modernization, and optimizes performance, cost, security, and reliability. Partners with clients and leadership, documents architecture, mentors engineers, evaluates emerging technologies, and serves as a technical escalation point for complex integration challenges.

Train and operate production machine learning models on Amazon SageMaker using AWS Trainium. Optimize PyTorch code for Trainium compilation, memory, throughput, and distributed training; diagnose hardware, compiler, device, data, and code issues; build cost-aware end-to-end training pipelines; and collaborate directly with client and internal engineering teams to deliver production workloads.

Lead product vision and strategy for complex, high-stakes digital products in client engagements. Serve as the senior product advisor to executives, define operating models and delivery standards, guide discovery and roadmapping, resolve complex product decisions, and establish success metrics. Mentor experienced product managers, influence engineering and design teams, support business development, and improve product management practices. Apply AI tools such as Claude to increase efficiency and strengthen research and product thinking.

Lead end-to-end product delivery for enterprise GenAI and agentic AI engagements: define roadmaps and agent behavior, run discovery, prototypes, evals and pilots, set metrics and guardrails, guide phased rollout, and communicate AI tradeoffs to senior stakeholders while mentoring junior PMs.

Define product strategy, vision, roadmaps, success metrics, and delivery plans for complex client engagements. Lead discovery, prioritization, stakeholder alignment, executive communication, and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, design, delivery, and strategy. Build trusted client relationships, facilitate workshops, mentor PMs, establish delivery standards, and resolve complex product and technical challenges. Apply AI tools such as Claude to accelerate research, discovery, synthesis, and documentation.
