Senior Business Analyst (AI COE)
LineageAbout the role
You are the primary feeder of work to the FDE: the person who builds AI solutions and ensures it solves a real problem the right way. In the early phases you will go deep in your first area and establish the standard operating rhythm; Later, you will take on additional areas, mentor newer Business Analysts, and codify how this model scales across the enterprise.
At Lineage, the aim is not to build the largest technology team; instead, we are creating a small, highly skilled group that focuses on having the right mix of talents, skills, and the capacity to learn in areas that define our core differentiation. We leverage cloud services, best-of-breed libraries and components, and external teams to augment our capabilities with sufficient capacity. This means that in addition to being a firsthand technologist, you also need to be able to take a project from an ambiguous business need to a production-grade solution, and to collaborate with internal and external partners to deliver.
As a company, Lineage builds state-of-the-art systems to make our employees productive, to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations, to assist in our growth, and to create a technology platform that enables Lineage to achieve its vision of transforming the food supply chain. This is one of the most impactful roles in that journey, and it will require someone who has a true passion for solving real business problems with the responsible application of AI, and for raising the bar for the engineers who follow.
