Why we read it this way (8)
The title is 'Lead AI Engineer' but carries no standard seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so the title states no level; the 7+ years requirement and scope of technical leadership support a Senior classification.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent practical experience' as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
Azure is listed under Requirements but qualified as 'highly desirable' — treated as preferred rather than a hard gate.
Workflow automation platforms (Zapier, Power Automate, n8n) are explicitly 'considered an asset' — preferred.
Voice AI (speech-to-text / text-to-speech) is explicitly 'preferred' — preferred.
The posting is listed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the actual employer is not disclosed.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the US without current or future employer sponsorship — no visa sponsorship available.
