Neurons Lab is an FSI-focused AI consultancy that embeds directly with enterprise clients — banks, insurers, and financial institutions — to design and deliver AI transformation.
As an AI Solutions Architect in our Talent Network, you will be the technical lead on client engagements, designing and delivering production-ready AI architectures. Most projects enter the discovery or pilot stage and run 6–12 weeks.
This is a Talent Network engagement, not a full-time position.
Projects are scoped and initiated by Neurons Lab when a client engagement begins. You are invited to join when a matching project is available, and you are free to take it.
You work as a freelance contractor at 0.25–0.5 FTE per project (10–20 hrs/week).
Between projects, there may be gaps, and you're free to hold other commitments alongside Neurons Lab.
