- Collaboration: Real-time AI integration, customer experience enhancements such as conversational AI, agentic AI digital workers, and omnichannel communications to improve customer experiences, productivity and operating costs.
- Datacenter: Infrastructure design and deployment.
- Collaborate with our engineering teams, sales teams, and technical domain leaders to define and refine the long-term strategic focus of CompuNet’s AI offerings.
- Stay ahead of emerging AI trends, industry standards, and competitive landscapes to continuously evolve our solution architecture.
- Champion best practices for scalable, ethical, and high-performance AI deployment across our client base.

## Minimum Requirements

- 10+ years in IT architecture, enterprise engineering, and technical pre-sales, with at least 3 years specializing in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Generative AI solutions.
- Pre-sales acumen with a proven track record of client-facing success.
- Demonstratable ability to lead high-stakes business discussions marrying outcome to technical solutions in front of executive leadership teams (CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, Directors)
- Fluency in technology domains like datacenter infrastructure, cloud platforms, enterprise networking, and collaboration ecosystems.
- AI/ML proficiency including LLMs, RAG architectures, MCP, AI model deployment, and AI governance frameworks.
