[ref. p67266116] Toa Payoh - LEAD AI ARCHITECT

About the Role

This is more than a leadership role — it’s your opportunity to architect and scale the AI backbone for a new generation of intelligent maritime systems.

At SVM Solutions and Technologies, we’re deploying AI across safety, compliance, document intelligence, operations, and decision-making. As our Lead AI Architect, you’ll lead the charge in defining the strategy, building the technology, and mentoring the team that will make it happen.

We're looking for a builder, a leader, and a visionary who thrives in a hands-on environment and wants to make a lasting impact.

• Architect, design, and deploy scalable AI systems including NLP, LLM, and predictive analytics models
• Build and manage high-performing AI engineering teams; lead code reviews, mentoring, and hiring
• Develop RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines for domain-specific reasoning and document understanding
• Integrate AI services into ERP, LMS, and operational platforms using REST APIs and microservices
• Lead the development of anomaly detection, forecasting, and performance monitoring models
• Build and optimize real-time chatbots and agent workflows using tools like Rasa, Dialogflow, or CrewAI
• Drive MLOps adoption: model monitoring, retraining triggers, and CI/CD for AI deployments
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate maritime operational needs into intelligent solutions
• Explore and integrate emerging LLM tools and architectures (LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy, Hugging Face)

• 7+ years of experience in AI/ML development with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role
• Hands-on expertise in Python, data engineering, model tuning, and AI pipelines
• Strong grasp of NLP, LLMs, anomaly detection, and classification/regression models
• Experience with vector databases, RAG frameworks, and multi-agent orchestration
• Fluency in model deployment via cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), Docker, and Kubernetes
• Proven ability to mentor engineers, guide roadmap decisions, and scale delivery teams
• Ability to balance technical depth with product intuition and stakeholder communication

• Experience in maritime, logistics, or highly regulated industries
• Track record of deploying conversational AI or intelligent chatbots at scale
• Familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) and data transformation frameworks
• Background in GenAI architectures and vector-search-augmented pipelines

• You will build the AI backbone of a real-world, high-impact product suite in the maritime space
• You will lead both the architecture and the team that turns vision into product
• You’ll have freedom to explore, prototype, and own your roadmap in a fast-paced environment
• You’ll work with a leadership team that values deep thinking, bold ideas, and technical craft
