📋 Description
• The AI Expert-in-Residence (AI-XIR) will play a central role in embedding hands-on AI innovation across Delta40’s studio, internal operations, and portfolio companies. • The AI-XIR will roll up their sleeves to prototype, pilot, and deploy AI solutions, working directly with founders, product teams, and studio staff to bring ideas to life. • This role sits within Delta40’s broader Expert-in-Residence (XIR) Program, which brings experienced practitioners into our ecosystem to contribute through venture building, coaching, and strategic studio initiatives. • In addition to office hours and workshops, the AI-XIR will lead targeted AI development sprints and co-build MVPs with startups and studio teams. • This is an ideal opportunity for a technologist or builder with deep AI capabilities, particularly someone who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and is excited to create tangible solutions in sectors like climate, agriculture, mobility, and fintech.
