That's just your Tuesday. ## DESCRIPTION ### What You're Here to Do You're an AI scientist who knows how to talk to clients without drowning them in jargon. Instead of sticking to a single stack or staying behind a screen modeling, you jump into pre-sales calls on short notice, ask the right questions to scope a POC, then deliver it end to end. You work hand in hand with our sales and pre-sales people, but you're the one who turns ideas into demos that close deals. Concretely, that means running 1 to 3 POCs in parallel while joining several client (or internal) calls a week, across a range of technologies from agents and large language models to computer vision and IoT. Nobody will tell you what to do day to day: you set your priorities, you scope your work, and you move things forward through ambiguity. ### What You'll Drive - Understand a client's need, assess ROI and define a POC scope that holds up - Build proofs of concept from A to Z (most of your time), in Python or with the appropriate tools - Join client calls with sales and pre-sales to answer technical questions and explain clearly what we can (and can't) do - Spot the pitfalls of a project, name them clearly, and propose how to address them - Work primarily on LLMs and agents: data extraction from emails and PDFs, workflow automation, contextualization on client data - Work secondarily on computer vision and IoT: physical quality control, automated visual sortingContribute occasionally to general machine learning and operations research, when the client context calls for it ### Your Profile - You have a solid 5 years of corporate experience after your studies - You hold a master's or doctoral degree in AI or a related field - You're perfectly bilingual in French and English - You have hands-on experience with agents for data extraction and workflow automation - You've shown you can move forward through ambiguity and define the scope of your own mandates - You naturally translate complex concepts for both technical and business audiences - You're a mix of AI scientist and salesperson, comfortable jumping on a client call with little preparation ## Our technologies ## You are comfortable with these tools ### Tools Here's a list of the main softwares and languages we use. You don't need to be familiar with them all, don't worry! - Claude - LLM - agentic workflows - Coding Agents - Orchestration Frameworks - LangChain - LangGraph - CrewAI - Python - Gemini - LlamaIndex ## Why us?
