This is a high-autonomy role for a proven builder: you will be the company's AI subject-matter expert, and your judgment will shape where we invest and what we ship.

-Partner with leadership and department heads to map workflows and identify high-value AI and automation opportunities across operations, sales, and field service

-Present recommendations, results, and ROI to leadership in clear business terms
2. Design, Build & Operate AI Solutions
-Architect and deploy production AI solutions: automation workflows, AI agents, chatbots, and data pipelines
-Integrate AI tooling with ATC's existing systems (CRM, ERP, email, scheduling, field service management) via APIs and middleware
-Ensure compliance with security, ethical standards and data privacy regulations in all AI applications.
-Stay updated on the latest trends and advancements in AI technologies and methodologies to ensure adoption and direct relevance over time.
3. Build Organizational Capability
-Develop the training program and run hands-on enablement sessions for ATC staff at all levels.
-Champion a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement with AI.
-Serve as the company-wide subject-matter expert for AI strategy, tools, and governance.
-Mentor and coach colleagues, including potential future junior technical hires.
Requirements:
Education and Experience:
-Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
-4+ years of professional experience in software development, automation engineering, data engineering, or AI/ML implementation.
-Demonstrated track record of designing, deploying, and maintaining AI or automation solutions in production business environments; candidates should be prepared to discuss specific deployed solutions and their measurable impact.
-Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience working with APIs, webhooks, and system integrations.
-Hands-on experience with modern AI platforms and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude, Microsoft Copilot, LangChain, or similar) and workflow automation tools (e.g., Zapier, Make, Power Automate).
-Experience integrating business systems such as CRM, ERP, or field service management platforms is highly desirable.
-Knowledge of data governance, security best practices and responsible AI principles.
-Experience supporting organizations with distribution, manufacturing, construction, industrial services, or similar operational environments is preferred.
-Demonstrated ability to operate independently, define solutions for complex or ambiguous business challenges, establish priorities, and deliver results for senior leadership.
-Experience leading technology adoption, process improvement, or change management initiatives with small to mid-sized organizations is a plus.
-Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into practical business solutions for executives,
managers, and non-technical stakeholders.

-Ability to remain in a stationary position for extended periods while working at a computer.
