About the role
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Megazone Cloud is looking for a Director of AI & Databricks Solutions to be a chief designer of our AI practice and a technical authority for our clients. Reporting directly to the CTO, you are a "builder" at heart—equally comfortable in the code as you are in the boardroom—but your primary focus is on strategy, design, and the ethical governance of AI.
You thrive on solving ambiguous, high-stakes business problems and designing the end-to-end technical solutions that solve them. As a key client-facing expert, you will lead technical discovery, set the GenAI strategy, and guide our teams to execute a clear vision. You are a master of the Databricks ecosystem and the leading Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
What You’ll DO
-
Lead Technical Strategy & Design: Architect and oversee the implementation of enterprise-scale AI/ML and GenAI platforms across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Databricks.
-
Be the Client-Facing Expert: Lead discovery workshops to surface high-impact use cases, translate complex business requirements into architectural roadmaps, and present ROI models to executive stakeholders.
-
Architect the Future: Design reference architectures on Databricks covering data pipelines, feature stores, model training, vector databases, and real-time inference.
-
Own the Ecosystem: Drive strategic relationships with AWS, Azure, GCP, and Databricks, ensuring our offerings leverage the latest innovations in GenAI and MLOps.
-
Set the Standard: Define best practices for responsible AI, data quality, and security, serving as the final point of escalation for complex technical challenges.
-
Mentor and Multiply: Lead and grow a multidisciplinary team of engineers and data scientists, acting as a "force multiplier" through technical guidance and design reviews.
-
Market Leadership: Represent Megazone Cloud at industry conferences, publish white papers, and position the firm as a premier leader in applied-AI innovation.
-
WHAT YOU BRING (REQUIREMENTS)
-
Professional Experience: 8-12+ years of experience in data science, AI, and data ecosystems, with at least 5 years leading cross-functional technical teams.
-
Databricks Mastery: Deep, hands-on expertise with the Databricks stack and a proven track record of integrating Databricks into complex client environments.
-
Cloud Architecture: 2+ years of progressive experience in cloud architecture or solutions engineering across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
-
Strategic Leadership: Proven ability to build, manage, and mentor technical teams while managing multi-faceted projects.
-
C-Suite Excellence: Exceptional skills in presenting to executive audiences and translating business needs into technical designs.
-
Educational Foundation: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field (Master’s or PhD preferred).
-
A "Builder" Mindset: A startup mentality, a strategic approach to problem-solving, and a genuine thirst for knowledge.
Bonus Points (nice-to-haves)
-
Relevant high-level certifications (e.g., Databricks Machine Learning Professional, AWS ML Specialty, Azure AI Engineer, or Google Professional ML Engineer).
-
Experience in a Professional Services or consulting environment.
-
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE
-
Our Product is Our People: We live by this. We invest in people who invest in themselves. Your growth is our growth.
-
True Servant Leadership: Our CTO leads with a "force multiplier" philosophy. Management is here to empower you and clear roadblocks, not to micromanage. We won't ask you to do anything we're not willing to do ourselves.
-
Flat Organization, Real Impact: Your voice and designs will directly shape our technical roadmap and our clients' success. You'll work on the latest tech to solve real problems.
-
A "Learn-from-it" Culture: We're moving fast and building new things. We believe mistakes are learning opportunities, not failures.
-
We seek diverse talent who are ready to make an immediate impact. We believe that innovation thrives when teams are built with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
