Head of AI

Applivery is the next-generation, AI-driven Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and app distribution platform. We empower IT and security teams worldwide to secure, automate, and scale their digital workplaces across Apple, Android, and Windows. Recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant alongside giants like Microsoft, our software is trusted globally by market leaders including Mercedes-Benz, Starbucks, Snapchat, Supercell, and BNP Paribas.

We are a high-velocity, product-first scale-up. We don’t do bloated hierarchies or corporate bureaucracy; we thrive on extreme autonomy, speed, and pride in execution. Here, you won’t be a cog in a machine—every person has a direct, visible impact on our product, our culture, and our trajectory.

As we enter our next phase of hyper-growth, we are looking for builders who want to leverage AI, take extreme ownership, and help us scale a product that shapes how the world works. This is the perfect time to hop on board.

Applivery is redefining endpoint and application management through automation, intelligence, and autonomy. Applivery Intelligence is our AI-driven layer that transforms operational data into insights, recommendations, and autonomous actions. In parallel, Applivery Labs serves as our innovation engine—exploring bold ideas, new paradigms, and high-impact initiatives that shape Applivery’s future.

We are looking for a Head of AI to lead both pillars with equal focus and ambition.

As Head of AI, you will own Applivery’s AI strategy and execution across two equally critical dimensions:

1. Applivery Intelligence – the core AI layer embedded in the platform.

2. Applivery Labs – a high-impact innovation space for experimentation and breakthrough initiatives.

You will operate with high autonomy, direct executive sponsorship, and access to dedicated resources to drive innovation—turning ideas into production-grade capabilities or strategic PoCs.

• Proven experience designing and deploying AI systems in production environments.

• Strong expertise in:

  • LLMs, agents, and prompt engineering
