About the Company
We are building an AI-native heavy equipment rental business on the East Coast.

The Role
We are seeking a Chief AI & Technology Officer to build and lead the AI-native platform at the heart of our business. This is a highly strategic and hands-on leadership role focused on developing the technology infrastructure that powers fleet optimization, predictive maintenance, dynamic pricing, and data-driven customer acquisition.

Architect, develop, and deploy AI and machine learning platforms for fleet utilization optimization, demand forecasting, and predictive maintenance
Design and build data pipelines that ingest and analyze public permit and construction-related datasets to identify active project opportunities
Develop dynamic pricing models that optimize rental rates based on demand, geography, seasonality, and competitive market conditions
Lead technology strategy, platform architecture, infrastructure decisions, and system integrations
Oversee IoT integrations, data collection systems, and third-party technology partnerships
Recruit, build, and manage a high-performing engineering and data science team
Collaborate closely with executive leadership to align technology initiatives with business growth objectives
Establish best practices for software development, machine learning operations, data governance, and security
What You Bring
8+ years of experience in software engineering, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or related technical leadership roles
Proven experience building and deploying production‑grade machine learning systems
Strong background in data engineering, forecasting, optimization, and large‑scale analytics platforms
Experience developing scalable cloud‑based applications and data infrastructure
Knowledge of machine learning frameworks and modern AI technologies
Experience in logistics, fleet management, supply chain, marketplaces, or related industries is highly preferred
Strong leadership, communication, and team‑building skills
Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment
A hands‑on builder who enjoys solving complex problems while leading teams
