About Us
At ZONE3000, we help companies in traditional sectors (construction, agriculture, manufacturing) become more efficient through technology. We work with clients across two key streams:
- Horizontal approach: Designing and building scalable data platforms and a Single Source of Truth, creating a solid foundation for BI and AI initiatives
- Vertical approach: Creating targeted AI solutions—from PoC to MVP—to automate specific business cases and solve critical client pain points
Why is this role exciting?
- Large-scale impact: You transform the real economy sector through strategic decisions Your architectures will help build homes or cultivate crops more efficiently using AI and Data
- Technological frontier: You will design high-level solutions “from scratch” leveraging Data, GenAI (LLMs, RAG) and autonomous agents (Agentic AI)
- Rapid prototyping: You will create solution concepts and visualize them through front-end prototypes using modern tools (specifically Claude Code, Lovable or similar alternatives)
- Broad domain exposure: Every case represents a new industry and a new challenge. You will build an invaluable portfolio of solutions across various domains
- Autonomy and expertise: You are the technical voice of Presales. You design high-level solution architecture, validate vendor offerings, and consult clients
What you will do:
- Create solution concepts addressing client problems and visualize them using front-end prototypes (Claude Code, Lovable or similar tools)
- Design conceptual solution architectures and select the optimal tech stack for two types of projects: “horizontal” (data platforms as a foundation) and “vertical” (targeted AI solutions from PoC to MVP)
- Partner with the Presale Manager and Business Analyst to define the optimal team structure (roles, seniority, involvement) and project phase breakdown required for successful delivery
- Collaboratively develop ranged high-level estimates (typically —25% to +75% accuracy), define key technical assumptions and risks
- Work alongside the Presale Manager to structure, justify, and present the technical portion of project proposals to prospective clients
- Partner with the presale and delivery leads to ensure a seamless handover of the technical vision once the project transitions into the delivery stage.
Technical Expertise Requirements
Must-Have:
- Presale Experience: Hands-on experience working side-by-side with Project Managers and Business Analysts to co-create technical proposals, scope boundaries, and estimates.
- Communication & Mindset: English B2 — C1 (Upper Intermediate — Advanced), strong client-facing & C-level communication skills, consultative ROI-driven mindset.
- GenAI & AI Architecture: Deep understanding of GenAI / LLM patterns (RAG vs. Fine-tuning, Agents, Vector DBs) and the ability to choose between ML vs. GenAI based on business feasibility.
- Data Engineering Concepts: Solid understanding of data layers (DWH, Lakehouse, Data Pipelines, SSOT).
- Architectural Vision: Hands-on experience with architectural modelling, Cloud Proficiency: sufficient AWS / Azure / GCP experience
- Core Technical Stack: Strong engineering background in any modern stack plus strong Python and SQL ecosystem proficiency
Nice-to-Have:
- Classical ML: Experience with predictive modeling and forecasting.
- Infrastructure: Understanding of Docker and Kubernetes principles.
- Full Stack Background: Prior hands-on experience in Full Stack development for end-to-end system understanding.
- Prototyping: Basic understanding of JS / TS logic and rapid prototyping AI tools (Claude Code, Lovable or similar tools).
What we offer:
- Direct reporting: Work directly under the leadership of the Head of Delivery Office within a new business unit.
- Stability and safety: Fully remote work or work from our offices / hubs in Ukraine (equipped with power generators, reliable internet, and coffee).
- Fixed compensation: Transparent and stable financial compensation.
- Micromanagement-free environment: You focus strictly on architecture and solution design rather than implementation or team management.
- Professional growth: An opportunity to become an AI Lead in a rapidly growing company.
