Lead AI Product Architect
Location:
Menlo Park, CA About the Opportunity Our client is a high-growth technology scale-up at the intersection of robotics, SaaS, and applied AI. Backed by tier-one investors and trusted by household-name retailers, they are transforming in-store and warehouse operations through modular, data-driven automation. As the Lead AI Product Architect, you will steer the end-to-end design and launch of AI-powered capabilities that unlock real-world productivity - moving from whiteboard concept to enterprise rollout in record time. If you thrive on rapid prototyping, cross-functional collaboration, and seeing your models live in production within weeks, this role will put you at the heart of the action. Key Responsibilities Own the AI product roadmap - translate ambiguous pain points into clear technical blueprints, success metrics, and phased launch plans. Architect a portfolio of modular AI services (LLM chatbots, real-time CV pipelines, demand-forecasting models) and shepherd each from proof-of-concept to cloud-native release. Lead rapid validation sprints - build lightweight prototypes, run A/B pilots with client partners, and iterate toward production-grade solutions. Collaborate across disciplines - work daily with software, robotics, UX, and business stakeholders to ensure features are both technically sound and commercially impactful. Champion reliability and scalability - embed MLOps best practices, automated testing, and observability into every service you ship. Track the frontier - stay current on GenAI, edge inference, and time-series forecasting trends to seed the next wave of differentiating features. Ideal Profile 7+ years delivering AI/ML products in production environments, with 2+ years as the principal architect or technical product owner. Hands-on fluency with modern ML stacks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Vertex AI or similar) and cloud-native micro-service design (GCP preferred). Proven ability to turn data and models into robust REST/GraphQL APIs that meet enterprise-scale SLAs. Adept at balancing technical depth (pipelines, embeddings, CV, forecasting) with business acumen (ROI modelling, stakeholder alignment). Previous experience in retail, supply-chain, robotics, or IoT-heavy SaaS environments is highly valued. Bachelor’s in CS, Engineering, or related; Master’s a plus. Culture & Benefits Impact at scale: Your solutions will touch real stores and warehouses, not just dashboards. Builder’s playground: Experiment fast, ship often, own the outcome. Leadership visibility: Direct collaboration with the CTO and Head of Product. Competitive base + bonus + equity, comprehensive health coverage, flexible PTO, and a hybrid schedule that values in-person creativity without sacrificing autonomy. About Blue Signal: Blue Signal is an award-winning, executive search firm specializing in various specialties. Our recruiters have a proven track record of placing top-tier talent across industry verticals, with deep expertise in numerous professional services. Learn more at
