Technical Lead (Applied AI

X by 2 is a technology consulting firm specializing in healthcare and insurance transformation. For over 25 years, we have partnered with leading organizations across North America - from strategy and architecture to system modernization, data analytics, and AI - delivering high-impact solutions from start to finish. We're agile, collaborative, and deeply committed to doing consulting the way it was meant to be done.

We are looking for a Technical Lead who will lead the design and development of AI solutions within enterprise environments for our clients. You'll combine hands-on engineering with leadership, guiding architecture decisions, mentoring teams, and building solutions.

• Lead architecture, design, development, testing, and deployment of enterprise software solutions (applications, data, integration, AI agents, AI models)
• Participate in strategy and roadmap discussions, architecture definition, and technology evaluations
• Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance
• Quickly evaluate and adopt new tools, technologies, and platforms to build prototypes and proofs-of-concept
• Drive adoption of AI solutions and collaborate with engineering teams, product leaders, and domain experts to deliver results

• Define and enforce coding standards, best practices, and design patterns across the team
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-deployed services (AWS, Azure)
• Integrate enterprise systems via APIs, event-driven architectures, and messaging platforms
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and system reliability issues

• Work with large, complex datasets and ensure data quality and integrity
• Analyze data to generate insights that inform both model development and broader solution strategy
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business problems into data-driven solutions
• Design, develop, and train machine learning and deep learning models for healthcare and insurance use cases
• Perform data modeling and feature engineering to support model development
• Develop custom model metrics and approaches tailored to specific business problems
• Ensure models are scalable, reliable, and integrated into production systems

• Design and develop LLM-powered workflows and agentic systems that help users complete complex tasks, retrieve information, reason over enterprise data, or interact with internal systems.
• Integrate LLMs with tools, APIs, databases, documents, and enterprise platforms using patterns such as function calling, MCP, RAG, and structured tool use.
• Architect orchestration patterns for planning, task decomposition, memory, context management, and human-in-the-loop review where appropriate.
• Develop orchestration layers to manage agent planning, memory, task decomposition, and execution loops
• Evaluate agentic systems for correctness, reliability, safety, observability, auditability, and harden them for production readiness.
• Stay current with emerging AI frameworks and platforms, selecting tools pragmatically based on client needs.

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering designing and developing enterprise applications, data/analytics solutions, and/or integration solutions
• 1+ years of providing technical leadership as Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or Architect
• 1+ years in developing AI agents and/or AI model development and training

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Development, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering
• (Optional) Master's Degree or Minor in AI/Machine Learning or Statistics

• Agentic AI: building and integrating autonomous AI agents using LLM APIs and orchestration frameworks (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Lang Chain, CrewAI, Auto Gen, MCP)
• Machine Learning & Deep Learning: developing and training models using standard ML/DL frameworks (e.g., Tensor Flow, PyTorch, scikit-learn)
• Data Engineering & Feature Engineering: building data pipelines, performing feature engineering, and ensuring data quality across large, complex…
