What this job asks for AI summary

This Director of AI role at Florence leads the technical architecture, engineering delivery, and team development of AI-powered capabilities across the company's product suite. The position is a hybrid of hands-on technical leadership and people management — owning the AI platform (LLM orchestration, RAG pipelines, MLOps, agentic frameworks) while directly managing a team of AI and ML engineers. It suits a senior engineer-leader who can both set architectural direction and remain close to implementation.

Why we read it this way (7)

No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; the role may be remote or the location was omitted.

The title is 'Director of AI,' which implies org-wide authority (Principal-advertised), but the actual requirements — 8+ years engineering experience, 4+ years leading teams, hands-on technical scope — are consistent with a Senior-level people-manager rather than a true Principal/Fellow individual contributor.

SOC 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) was chosen because the role explicitly includes direct reports, team growth, and people leadership. However, the posting heavily emphasizes hands-on technical work (prototyping, architecture reviews, coding), making 15-2051 (Data Scientists) a plausible runner-up given the ML/AI engineering depth.

All preferred technologies (Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, TensorFlow/PyTorch, LangChain, LangGraph, Kafka, Snowflake, Kubernetes, Docker, Python, MLflow, Pinecone/pgvector/OpenSearch, Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, AWS AgentCore, MCP, feature stores) appear exclusively under the 'We'll Be Extra Excited If You Have' section and are treated as preferred.

TensorFlow and PyTorch are listed as alternatives to each other ('TensorFlow or PyTorch') in the posting.

Pinecone, pgvector, and OpenSearch are listed as interchangeable vector database options; Pinecone is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.

No compensation range is stated in the posting.
