Why we read it this way (8)
This is a 'Head of AI' role reporting directly to the CEO, with org-wide scope across ML Engineering, ML, and AI Engineering functions — this is a genuine Principal/org-wide leadership role, not merely a Senior or Staff position.
The title carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the actual scope (CEO-report, company-wide AI strategy, team-building authority) supports Principal.
SOC 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the primary classification given the explicit people-management, hiring, budgeting, and org-building responsibilities. 15-2051 (Data Scientists) is the runner-up given the deep hands-on technical fluency and data science leadership required.
A Bachelor's degree in CS, data science, AI, engineering, or related field is explicitly required; an advanced degree (MSc, PhD, or MBA) is listed as preferred — the degree requirement is set to Bachelors accordingly.
AWS, MLOps tooling, cloud data platforms, anomaly detection, time-series data, and signal processing all appear under the 'Nice to Have' section and are marked preferred.
The role is remote-first (US and Ontario, Canada distributed team); compensation range is US-specific per the posting. No specific metro is listed.
Compensation includes equity (stock options) and benefits in addition to the stated base salary range.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
