Our take: The real work here is turning messy model, infrastructure, and security tradeoffs into clear product direction for self-hosted AI, then writing it down so a distributed team can execute.
If you love turning a tangle of model choices, infrastructure realities, and customer security needs into one clear product direction, this is your kind of work. You will own strategy and execution for self-hosted AI at a principal level, making the hard tradeoff calls and writing them down so distributed teams can move without you in the room. Come if you thrive on ambiguity, want real ownership, and enjoy building something flexible in a fast-evolving corner of AI.
