Director, Data & AI/ML

Stratus, deriving from the Latin term meaning 'layer', offers an advanced set of MEP-specific solutions that seamlessly layer across a contractor's entire workflow from design to fabrication to installation. Our team of seasoned industry experts, skilled technology leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs understands that fabrication does not occur in isolation, and increasingly, it may not happen within your own fabrication shop. Through close relationships with our customers — who include some of the most innovative and largest MEP contractors — we have developed a suite of Stratus tools to digitize, automate, and optimize piping, plumbing, sheet metal, and electrical contracting. Stratus provides the software layer an MEP contractor needs to optimize profits with true "Data-Driven Contracting."

#### GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Director of Data and AI/ML owns the Stratus Intelligence Platform: the data, machine learning, and reasoning capabilities that make compounding intelligence real. This role is accountable for delivering in the AI roadmap, ensure that AI workloads scale on the platform, the ML lifecycle that trains and serves models on it, and the learning and reasoning capabilities that turn data into customer value over time.

This is a player-coach leadership role with both team-build and execution mandates. You set the Intelligence strategy in close partnership with the CTO, build the team that delivers it, and stay close enough to the technical work to make hard architectural calls when they arise.

The organizing principle is compounding intelligence: every solution, data points, deepens the data substrate, the models that learn from it, and the reasoning capabilities customers come to rely on. The Intelligence area is where Stratus builds its defensible AI moat.
