Lead VP of Technology - Sovereign AI Platform

Overview

Seven Boson Group is building the world's first Sovereign Agent Operating System — a complete, air-gappable, vendor-agnostic AI platform deployed across 20 nations - built open-source, for governments and enterprises that cannot put defense , healthcare, or financial data on US hyperscaler infrastructure. The VP of Technology architects the full sovereign stack, from the Hardware Abstraction Layer through inference serving and agent orchestration, and manages the global engineering team alongside the Head of Enterprise Architecture.
