By integrating siloed planning capabilities and capturing millions—even billions—in value leakage, we help businesses plan smarter and faster.This not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces waste, leading to better outcomes for both businesses and the planet. Global leaders like Google, PepsiCo, Walmart, T-Mobile, AB InBev, and Starbucks trust o9 to optimize their supply chains.****Senior AI Architect****o9 is restructuring its technology organization around purpose-built engineering groups, upgrading to modern tech stacks and AI-first software to drive a streamlined, R&D-focused powerhouse. As part of this transformation, we are building a world-class core AI function from the ground up to serve as the foundational intelligence layer across all product engineering domains. This is a premier technical individual contributor (IC) role with the structural weight, seniority, and impact of an SVP. We are looking for someone who has lived on the bleeding edge of artificial intelligence at industry-defining technology companies—someone who can take a bold architectural vision and turn it into production reality.****The Scale of Opportunity****o9 is on a trajectory that very few enterprise software companies ever reach. We are building toward a global footprint of 10,000 enterprise customers—each running complex, mission-critical supply chain and business planning operations on our platform. At that scale, AI is not a buzzword or a feature add-on; it is our core strategic differentiator.Our ambition goes further: o9 is pursuing a neurosymbolic AI architecture—combining the reasoning power of large language models with the formal rigor of symbolic computation and constraint-based planning. The platform that emerges will be unlike anything currently available in enterprise software. The person who steps into this role will literally write the playbook and construct the foundation for this architecture.To understand the core philosophy behind what you will be building, review the framework established by our EVP of AI, Ashwin Rao:* Read the fundamental thesis on The Neurosymbolic Imperative for Enterprise AI.* Explore the practical application of this paradigm in Davos Insights: Turning VUCA into Value with Neuro-Symbolic AI.The north star for our customers is the APEX operating model—a state of integrated, autonomous, AI-driven planning that eliminates the friction between insight and action across the enterprise. This role is the architectural engine that makes APEX possible.****What you’ll own****You are single-handedly accountable for o9’s core AI architectural integrity and our neurosymbolic roadmap. Your mandate covers the following pillars:* ****Neurosymbolic Platform Architecture:**** Architect the hybrid systems that seamlessly blend LLMs with deterministic, constraint-based planning engines, translating high-level conceptual vision into concrete, scalable code and system designs.* ****AI Strategy & Governance:**** Set the technical standard for how AI is implemented across the entire engineering organization, ensuring framework consistency, performance optimization, and enterprise-grade reliability.* ****Cutting-Edge R&D Evaluation:**** Continually evaluate, benchmark, and integrate state-of-the-art models, agentic workflows, and vector infrastructures into the core o9 platform.* ****Technical Truth:**** Serve as the ultimate technical court of appeal for complex AI engineering roadblocks, deep triage, and algorithmic limitations.****What you’ll build***** The foundational architecture for o9’s neurosymbolic AI engine, successfully bridging the gap between connectionist (neural networks) and symbolic AI.* The framework and blueprints that allow hundreds of product engineers to safely, predictably, and continuously ship AI-driven capabilities.* The next-generation intelligence layer enabling 10,000 enterprise customers to run autonomous business planning at an order of magnitude more scale than we serve today.****What you’ll have***** ****Experience:**** 15+ years of deep engineering background, with a distinguished track record of building and transforming advanced software platforms.* ****Tier-1 Tech Background:**** Significant engineering tenure at a premier technology organization (e.g., FAANG, Uber, Slack, Snowflake, Stripe, Datadog, or comparable).* ****Proven AI Leadership:**** Clear track record as a principal or lead architect on production-grade AI/ML systems at massive scale.* ****Neurosymbolic Aptitude:**** Deep, hands-on familiarity with both large language models (generative AI, embeddings, vector databases) and traditional, structured, constraint-based symbolic computation.* ****High Autonomy:**** Direct, fast, and exceptionally comfortable operating without bureaucratic approval chains. You move quickly, own your architectural decisions, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes.This position at o9 Solutions has an annual salary range of $203,752-$280,159. Additionally, you may be eligible to participate in our medical, retirement, and other company-sponsored benefits.### *\*\*The above information reflects the expected base salary range, although the lower and upper bounds may vary based on location, skills, experience, certifications, licenses, or other relevant factors.*### **More about us...**At o9, transparency and open communication are at the core of our culture.
