Director, AI Engineering

Join to apply for the Director, AI Engineering role at Brightstar.ai

Overview

This is not a traditional Director of Engineering role. You will not be managing teams at a distance or overseeing narrow R&D projects. As Director, AI Engineering, you are a senior technical leader at the forefront of private equity–backed transformation.

You will collaborate directly with Brightstar’s portfolio companies to lead high-stakes AI interventions—partnering with executives, building cross-functional pods, and ensuring delivery of production-grade AI systems that create measurable enterprise value. You will architect the strategy and technical roadmap, lead engineering execution, and mentor the next generation of AI engineers.

Your success will be measured by tangible P&L impact—EBITDA uplift, margin expansion, operational efficiency, and sustained competitive advantage. This is a rare opportunity for a transformational builder who can both lead from the front and scale from the center.

What You’ll Do

Lead Enterprise-Grade AI Engineering

• Architect and oversee the design, build, and deployment of scalable AI systems (e.g., RAG systems, agentic AI, predictive models, fine-tuned LLMs) that solve mission-critical challenges.
• Ensure systems are stable, secure, maintainable, and ready for enterprise-grade adoption.
