Start Your AltaML Career

AltaML is seeking a Director, Client Success to own delivery outcomes, client relationships, and portfolio health across our most complex engagements. This is a senior leadership role that sits at the intersection of delivery, strategy, and customer success, accountable for ensuring that clients realise measurable value from everything AltaML builds and deploys.

The Director, Client Success retains the same strategic mandate, now aligned to industry-standard terminology that reflects what the role truly does: build enduring partnerships, drive adoption, and translate delivery insight into lasting client impact.

Reporting into the GM, Enterprise AI, the Director, Client Success is accountable for what happens once engagements begin: delivery quality, stakeholder satisfaction, and renewal.

Client Success & Relationship Management

  • Serve as the senior client relationship owner for all active engagements within your portfolio, the primary escalation point and the face of AltaML’s delivery function.

  • Ensure clients are actively using and deriving measurable value from what has been delivered, identifying friction early and driving adoption strategies with the delivery team.

  • Identify renewal and expansion opportunities within existing accounts, collaborating with the Vertical Lead to maintain a healthy pipeline of follow-on work.

  • Minimise churn by maintaining strong executive-level relationships and acting quickly when client health signals decline.

  • Navigate politically sensitive stakeholder environments with discretion, ensuring AltaML is consistently positioned as a trusted partner — not just a vendor.

Delivery Oversight

  • Own outcomes across delivery ensuring every active engagement meets its commitments.

  • Oversee AI Architects (AIAs) embedded in client engagements (where applicable), with accountability for team performance, delivery quality, and risk escalation. 

  • Apply sound judgment to PDM deployment decisions: assess stakeholder complexity, reporting burden, and coordination overhead before assigning dedicated project management resources — PDMs are earned by complexity, not default.

  • Manage developer allocation in partnership with Tech Leads, flagging capacity conflicts and context-switching risks before they become delivery problems.

  • Lead scope management discipline — enforce change order processes, protect teams from overextension, and ensure clients understand what is and is not included in base delivery.

  • Conduct or oversee milestone and budget reviews as part of standing weekly portfolio governance.

Portfolio Strategy & Business Development

  • Partner with the Vertical Lead on account strategy — surfacing delivery insights, flagging upsell and expansion signals, and advising on how sales conversations should be structured to set realistic delivery expectations.

  • Identify repeatable product opportunities emerging from delivery work and bring them directly to the Director of Product to ensure promising ideas are prioritised and not lost.

  • Contribute to proposals and statements of work by providing delivery scoping expertise and realistic effort estimates grounded in operational experience.

  • Maintain situational awareness across the vertical’s pipeline and represent delivery capacity and risk in strategic planning conversations with senior leadership.

People Leadership & Team Development

  • Manage and coach PDMs and, where applicable, AIAs embedded in your portfolio providing feedback, removing blockers, and developing the next generation of delivery leaders at AltaML.

  • Model the culture and operating standards AltaML expects: accountability without defensiveness, proactive escalation, and delivery that operates like a business regardless of sector.

  • Support onboarding of new delivery hires into your portfolio, ensuring continuity and context transfer when team compositions shift.

  • Participate in internal org design and delivery methodology work, contributing a practitioner’s perspective to how AltaML scales its operating model.

What You Bring:

  • 7+ years of experience in client success, delivery management, consulting, or a senior client-facing delivery role  with demonstrated accountability for outcomes, not just activities.

  • Proven ability to manage executive-level relationships in complex, politically sensitive environments including government, regulated industries, or large enterprise.

  • Experience leading multi-disciplinary delivery teams, including coaching and performance management of project managers, product managers, or consultants.

  • Strong working knowledge of agile delivery methodologies, project governance, and scope management including how to enforce change orders and protect team capacity without burning client relationships.

  • Comfort operating in AI, data, or technology-adjacent domains you don’t need to be a technical practitioner, but you must be able to engage credibly with engineers and architects on delivery risk and trade-offs.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to distil complex delivery context into clear executive summaries and present risks without creating alarm.

  • Experience using generative AI tools in their day to day work.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning solution delivery  including how to manage client expectations during model development, validation, and change management phases.

  • Background in Project Management and/or Product Management. 

  • Background in a client-facing role at a technology consultancy, professional services firm, or SaaS company managing enterprise accounts.

  • Experience identifying and developing product opportunities from delivery work, including conducting market research, competitive landscape analysis, and presenting business cases to senior leadership.

This role suits an experienced legal professional — potentially supporting other clients or engagements in parallel — who wants a meaningful, embedded role at a growing company without a full-time commitment. Scope and time commitment will be revisited periodically as AltaML's needs evolve, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time.

Engagement Structure

  • Time commitment: Approximately 2–3 days per week (or equivalent hours), with flexibility based on transaction volume and business needs

  • Structure options: Open to contract/consulting arrangement or part-time employment, depending on candidate preference and tax/regulatory considerations

  • Availability: Responsive availability for board meetings, urgent contract turnarounds, and time-sensitive transaction matters, even outside core scheduled days

  • Compensation: Structured as a monthly retainer or day-rate, to be scoped based on anticipated hours; potential for equity component given AltaML's growth stage

 

This job description is intended to convey information essential to understanding the scope of the role and is not exhaustive. Time commitment, structure, and responsibilities may be adjusted as AltaML's needs evolve, including a potential path to full-time.

Commercial Contracts & Compliance

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including client statements of work, master services agreements, NDAs, procurement and vendor contracts, and partnership agreements

  • Develop and maintain contract templates, playbooks, and approval workflows so routine agreements can move quickly even with limited legal bandwidth

  • Monitor and ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards across the jurisdictions AltaML operates in

  • Advise internal stakeholders (Sales, Delivery, People) on contractual and regulatory questions

Corporate Governance

  • Maintain corporate records, entity structures, and statutory filings across all AltaML entities

  • Ensure compliance with corporate governance obligations and internal policies

  • Support the development and maintenance of internal legal policies and procedures

Board & Investor Relations

  • Prepare board materials, resolutions, and minutes in coordination with the CFO and executive team

  • Support investor relations activities, including due diligence processes, disclosure schedules, and shareholder communications

  • Manage cap table administration, including equity issuances, option grants, and related documentation, in partnership with Finance

Transaction Support

  • Lead or support legal workstreams on corporate transactions, including financings, M&A, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships

  • Manage due diligence processes (both as a target and as an acquirer), including data room preparation and review

  • Draft and negotiate transaction-related documents (e.g., term sheets, purchase agreements, disclosure schedules) alongside outside counsel

  • Coordinate cross-functionally with Finance, Sales, and Delivery to ensure transactions close smoothly and post-close obligations are tracked

External Legal Resource Management

  • Manage relationships with outside counsel across specialty areas (e.g., IP, employment, tax, litigation), including scoping, budgeting, and quality control of external work product

  • Determine when to handle matters in-house versus engage outside counsel, optimizing for cost and risk — particularly important given limited on-site hours

What You Bring:

  • J.D. and active membership in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta (or eligibility to obtain Alberta membership, e.g., via NCA accreditation or interprovincial transfer)

  • 5+ years of legal experience, including significant experience in commercial contracting and corporate law; in-house experience strongly preferred

  • Experience supporting corporate governance matters, board processes, and cap table/equity administration, ideally at a venture-backed or growth-stage company

  • Working knowledge of technology, SaaS, or professional services contracting

  • Demonstrated ability to manage outside counsel effectively and cost-consciously

  • Prior experience in a fractional, part-time, or portfolio-career legal role is a plus, along with the discipline to prioritize effectively across a limited number of working days

  • Excellent judgment, discretion, and communication skills; comfortable advising executives and the board directly

  • Highly organized and self-directed; able to operate as a standalone legal function with minimal internal legal support

What Success Looks Like:

  • Contract turnaround times remain fast and predictable despite limited weekly hours, supported by strong playbooks and templates

  • Corporate governance and cap table records are accurate, current, and audit-ready at all times

  • The board and investors receive clear, timely, well-prepared materials and support, with no gaps caused by part-time availability

  • Outside counsel spend is well-managed and aligned to matters that genuinely require specialized expertise

  • The CFO and leadership team have clear visibility into legal priorities and turnaround expectations given the fractional structure

About the Role

As a Lead AI Engineer, you will play a key individual contributor role in designing and delivering production-ready AI-powered applications for the Brilliant Harvest platform. Combining deep technical expertise with leadership skills, you will mentor teammates, guide architectural decisions, and ensure the delivery of scalable, high-quality software solutions. Working closely with the VP of AI Engineering and the AI Architect, you will help shape the technical direction of our AI stack — from RAG pipelines and agentic workflows to document ingestion and model integration.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves solving complex problems, and is excited about taking ideas from concept to deployment in a domain where AI is transforming a legacy industry.

Key Responsibilities

    Architect & Build

  • Design, develop, document, and maintain robust prototypes and scalable production systems, with a focus on applied AI/ML, RAG architectures, and agentic workflows.

  • Build and improve document ingestion pipelines that form the knowledge foundation of the platform, ensuring data enrichment, accuracy, and compliance with manufacturer standards.

  • Evaluate and integrate LLMs, agent frameworks, and supporting tooling as the frontier model landscape evolves, collaborating with the AI Architect on vendor and model selection.

    • Technical Leadership

  • Participate in and often lead brainstorming sessions, design reviews, code reviews, and architecture evolution discussions, ensuring best practices and long-term technical sustainability.

  • Champion coding standards, automated testing, CI/CD practices, and AI-first development workflows (e.g., Claude Code or similar agentic tools) to improve velocity and quality.

  • Contribute to the analysis of business requirements, prepare design and implementation recommendations, and provide reliable development effort estimates.

    • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work collaboratively across Product, Data, Design, and QA teams to drive outcomes aligned with business objectives and the product roadmap.

  • Review and provide feedback on the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs, ensuring seamless integration with backend systems and AI capabilities.

  • Translate data requirements and AI capabilities into clear, actionable specifications, and communicate technical constraints and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

    • Mentorship & Team Development

  • Provide hands-on guidance, mentorship, and knowledge sharing to junior and intermediate engineers, fostering a culture of learning and innovation — as an individual contributor working alongside them, not as their manager.

  • Promote a "Systems Thinking" mindset, helping engineers move from writing code to orchestrating AI-generated solutions.

  • Design workflows that use AI to accelerate the growth of junior talent rather than automating them out of the process.

Qualifications & Skills

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering or data science experience, with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML systems in production.

  • Proven track record deploying generative AI, LLMs, RAG architectures, or document ingestion pipelines with data enrichment in a production environment.

  • Strong proficiency in Python and at least one of: TypeScript, C# (.NET), or a modern backend language.

  • Experience with React, React Native, or modern frontend frameworks and how they integrate with AI-powered backends.

  • Solid understanding of microservices architecture, API design, and cloud infrastructure.

  • Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers and influence technical direction without formal authority.

  • Experience working in a startup environment is considered a strong asset.

  • Experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering best practices, and AI-first development tooling (e.g., Claude Code or similar) is a strong asset.

  • Familiarity with the agriculture, heavy equipment, or dealership domain is a strong asset.

What Will Set You Apart?

  • You've built in a startup where the roadmap moved under your feet. You've owned things before they were fully defined, and you know the corner you can cut now from the one that costs you in six months.

  • You've taken a research-heavy idea and made it survive contact with real users, real data, and real latency and cost budgets. You know which results hold up in production and which quietly fall apart once the inputs get messy.

  • You understand that RAG lives or dies on retrieval, not generation. When answer quality breaks, you trace it back to why the right document didn't surface — because you know that's usually where it actually broke.

  • You've built evals from scratch, not inherited a dashboard. You can turn "good answer" into measurable criteria, stand up LLM-as-judge or human-in-the-loop pipelines, and keep them running so regressions get caught before customers do.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a high-performing team led by Remi Schmaltz, an entrepreneur with decades of experience launching and growing agriculture businesses. 

  • Remote-first role with a flexible work environment.

  • A front-row seat to how AI is changing the way equipment dealers, farmers, and contractors work.

  • A collaborative culture that values growth, learning, and impact.

  • Competitive compensation, ESOP, and benefits.

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer who is passionate about building high-quality software in an AI-native way. Someone who treats Claude and the latest agentic coding tools as a core part of their craft, not a novelty. In this role, you will own technical delivery end-to-end, from shaping the architecture of ML-powered applications to leading implementation across cloud services, APIs, and modern front-end frameworks, with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, and the Claude API woven into how you design, build, and ship.

You will act as the technical backbone of your project pod, balancing hands-on development with technical leadership, architectural decision-making, and client-facing collaboration. You'll lead epic-level solution design, mentor developers on how to get the most out of Claude in their day-to-day workflows, contribute to shared internal frameworks and skills/plugins, and help shape how we evaluate and deploy emerging AI engineering tooling.

You will thrive in this role if you are:

  • A builder at heart who leans on Claude Code to spin up prototypes in hours and scale them into production-grade systems with confidence.
  • Fluent in agentic development patterns. Writing good specs for Claude, structuring repos so AI agents can navigate them, reviewing AI-generated code critically, and knowing when to delegate versus when to hand-code.
  • A strong communicator who can translate between business requirements, technical realities, and what modern AI tooling actually makes feasible.
  • A decision-maker who brings clarity to ambiguous technical challenges and can evaluate when an LLM-in-the-loop is the right solution versus traditional software.
  • Excited by ML-enabled product development and eager to bridge software engineering with intelligent automation and agentic workflows.

What You'll Do:

  • Reduced Project Risk: Technical risks on projects are significantly reduced through proactive ownership of epic-level technical design, execution, and cross-team dependency resolution accelerated by effective use of Claude for research, code review, and rapid exploration of design alternatives.
  • Improved Technical Decision-Making: The team makes better technology choices through thorough research, evaluation, and documentation of potential solutions, including informed decisions on when and how to apply Claude, MCP servers, and agentic tooling versus conventional approaches.
  • Stronger Client Confidence: Client and stakeholder confidence is increased by leading technical discovery sessions and acting as a technical SME during project discussions, including on the pragmatic use of LLMs and AI-assisted development in client deliverables.
  • Feature & Epic Implementation: Leads implementation for features spanning multiple user stories or services, using Claude Code and agent-driven workflows to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
  • Architecture & Solution Design: Leads the architecture design for moderately complex solutions, often involving multiple services or systems, and chairs technical reviews including architecting LLM-powered features, agent tool integrations, and MCP server designs.
  • AI Engineering Leadership: Champions best practices for working with Claude across the pod, prompt design, skill and subagent creation, context management, MCP integrations, evaluation of AI-generated code, and secure / cost-aware usage of the Claude API.
  • Mentorship & Technical Leadership: Provides technical leadership within the pod, mediates code review disputes, contributes new features and skills to shared AltaML libraries, and assists in the hiring process by conducting technical interviews. Coordinates the work of other engineers and levels them up on modern AI-assisted development.
  • Client Engagement & Discovery: Leads technical discovery sessions with clients to clarify requirements, define technical scope, and identify where Claude-powered features or agentic workflows unlock real product value.
  • Testing & Quality Strategy: Implements higher-level testing strategies, including integration and end-to-end tests for deployed solutions, plus evaluation harnesses for LLM-powered features (regression tests for prompts, agent behaviours, and tool use).

What You Bring:

  • Degree or equivalent work experience in Computer Science, Software Development, or similar
  • 5+ years of experience as a full stack developer
  • Demonstrable, hands-on experience using Claude (Claude Code, claude.ai, or the Claude API) as a daily driver for real software engineering work, not just casual chat use
  • Proven skills at taking ideas from conception to production, including shipping features that are partly or fully built with AI-assisted workflows
  • Strong working experience with Cloud Services (ideally Azure)
  • Strong working experience in a modern object-oriented language
  • Strong working experience writing clean, readable, and easily maintainable code, and a clear point of view on reviewing and hardening AI-generated code
  • Experience with Unit and API testing (e.g., xUnit, Postman, or others)
  • Experience working in an agile environment
  • Experience with Docker
  • Proficiency with Version Control systems (VCS), including working effectively with AI agents in a git-based workflow
