About the Role
The AI Architect serves as a strategic leader responsible for designing and delivering production-ready AI solutions that drive enterprise-wide impact within the K12 education sector.

In this capacity, you will mentor team members in technical development and ensure that AI initiatives directly support actionable business decisions.

You will bridge the gap between complex data science and practical application, ensuring that AI capabilities align with the needs of schools and school services teams to deliver improved outcomes.
The Team and Mission
You will join a collaborative environment where AI solutions are developed from proof-of-concept through full productization. This includes managing data ingestion, model training, deployment, and monitoring for performance drift. The team works closely with Product, Engineering, IT Managers, Data Stewards, and high-level executives to ensure AI initiatives adhere to governance and compliance requirements, with a specific focus on student data privacy.
