Eligibility: This role is open to U.S. citizens only due to client security and compliance requirements. Please apply through this posting only — do not contact Data-Sleek directly regarding this position. Applications received outside this channel will not be considered and reported to Upwork. Data-Sleek is looking for a Senior AI Solutions Engineer to lead our on-premise and government-cloud AI deployments. You will design, build, and deploy AI-powered data pipelines for clients who cannot use commercial cloud due to ITAR, CMMC, or other data residency constraints, beginning with a client in the aerospace and defense sector. Beyond this first engagement, you will become Data-Sleek's go-to engineer for AI deployments across defense and aerospace clients, building the practice rather than just executing a single project. About Data-Sleek Founded in 2020, Data‑Sleek® is a U.S.-based AI and data consulting firm that helps mid-market companies build the data foundation that AI actually runs on. We own the full path — data strategy, architecture, integration, warehousing, and AI implementation — so organizations can adopt AI with confidence, stay compliant, and scale, without first hiring an internal data team. Our distributed U.S. team (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Irvine, Dallas, Chicago, and New York) partners with clients across healthcare, finance, insurance, logistics, and technology, modernizing data platforms with best-in-class tools like Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Tableau, and AWS. Trusted by Fortune 500 institutions and growing companies alike, Data‑Sleek turns complex data into measurable outcomes — faster insight, lower cost, and AI projects that deliver. About the Role You will own the technical delivery of AI-powered data pipelines in restricted environments where commercial cloud is not an option. The immediate engagement centers on a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) data migration: building a pipeline that connects to a client's SharePoint on a restricted Microsoft 365 government tenant, reads engineering documents, classifies and summarizes them, detects duplicates, and rates naming-convention compliance to produce a migration-readiness report. You will start on-premise, then help the client evaluate and move to government cloud for production. Key Responsibilities AI Pipeline Development Build AI pipelines that connect to a client's SharePoint on a government cloud tenant, read engineering documents, classify them by type, generate summaries, detect duplicates, and rate naming-convention compliance in support of PLM data migration. Catalog large document repositories and produce migration-readiness reports and Excel catalogs that give clients a clear, measurable picture of their data. Engineer document-parsing workflows across DOCX, PDF, and XLSX formats, including embedding generation and database operations. On-Premise & Government Cloud Deployment Deploy on-premise first — a Mac Mini running Gemma via Ollama — standing up, serving, and tuning local inference infrastructure. Evaluate and migrate to production on Azure OpenAI (Azure Government) or AWS Bedrock (GovCloud) when the client is ready to scale. Keep deployments compliant within ITAR-sensitive, restricted-network boundaries throughout. Architecture & Cost Advisory Produce cost models and architecture recommendations that help client IT teams make informed platform decisions based on measured data, not vendor pitches. Compare deployment options — local, Azure Government, and AWS GovCloud — on cost, performance, and compliance, and explain the trade-offs clearly. Practice Building & Delivery Serve as Data-Sleek's go-to engineer for AI deployments across defense and aerospace clients. Build a reusable capability — a repeatable AI-solutions practice — rather than executing a single one-off project. What You Bring Required U.S. Citizen: U.S. citizenship is required and non-negotiable due to ITAR and client security and compliance requirements. Production LLM deployment: You have stood up inference infrastructure — not just called an API. You've handled model loading, memory constraints, failure modes, and throughput tuning in a real deployment. Local inference: Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio, or TGI. You've served open-source models (Gemma, Llama, Mistral) on local hardware. Cloud AI platforms: Azure OpenAI or AWS Bedrock — at least one. Service configuration, model access, authentication, and token-based pricing. Python: Pipeline engineering — document parsing (DOCX, PDF, XLSX), API integrations, embedding generation, and database operations (SQLite, Postgres). Experience: 5+ years post-degree in software engineering, data engineering, or ML engineering. Strong Preferences Microsoft ecosystem: Entra ID, Microsoft Graph API, and SharePoint REST API at the API level. GCC High experience is a bonus. MCP (Model Context Protocol): Experience building or consuming MCP servers — a significant plus for a fast-evolving protocol. Workflow orchestration: n8n, Temporal, Airflow, or similar. The pipeline is orchestrated, not scripted. Government cloud awareness: Understanding of what FedRAMP High, IL4/IL5, and ITAR mean for cloud architecture decisions. Embeddings & vector similarity: sentence-transformers, pgvector, Qdrant, or FAISS for duplicate detection. 
Bonus (valued if present) Aerospace or defense experience: Familiarity with ECOs, BOMs, and AS9100 saves ramp time. Apple Silicon optimization: MLX, Metal acceleration, and Ollama tuning on M-series chips. Agentic frameworks: Bedrock AgentCore or Azure AI Foundry — the future direction involves agentic AI workflows on government cloud. What This Role Is Not Model training or fine-tuning. This is deployment engineering, not research. Data science or statistical modeling. The AI here is document understanding and classification, not predictive analytics. Frontend development. The deliverable is an Excel catalog and a report, not a web app. Sales or client acquisition. Data-Sleek's leadership manages the client relationship; you focus on delivery. Engagement & Compensation Remote, US-based. Occasional on-site travel to client facilities for hardware deployment and workshops may be needed. An average of 2–3 trips for the first engagement may be possible. Compensation. $40-$55/hour Why Join Data-Sleek? At Data-Sleek, you'll lead AI deployments in environments most engineers never touch — government cloud and on-premise systems where commercial tools simply aren't an option. Your work will directly shape how defense and aerospace clients adopt AI, and you'll build a reusable capability the company grows around. We focus on doing the right thing architecturally rather than selling the most expensive option, and we give our engineers the autonomy to deliver real solutions for real constraints. How to Apply If you've shipped real LLM deployments with real constraints, we'd like to hear from you. Please submit: Your resume A brief note describing one LLM deployment you've shipped — what model, what infrastructure, what data source, and what went wrong. Data-Sleek® is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all contractors.

I’m building Elevyn, a platform designed to help people better understand themselves through connected data, intentional reflection, and AI-generated insights. This is not a social media platform. This is not a productivity app. This is not just another trading journal. Elevyn is an operating system for self-mastery, with trading serving as the first environment where personal growth becomes measurable. Most apps collect data. Elevyn is designed to observe. The goal is to connect information across different areas of a person’s life and uncover meaningful patterns that help them improve their decision-making, habits, discipline, and overall performance. The Vision Users will log information such as: • Sleep • Mood • Daily reflections • Workouts • Morning routines • Trading activity • Goals • Habits • Personal notes Instead of simply displaying this data, Elevyn will analyze relationships between it and surface meaningful insights. Examples include: • “You slept less than 5 hours before 7 of your last 10 losing trades.” • “Your win rate increases after completing your morning routine.” • “You tend to become more impulsive after multiple winning days.” • “Your consistency improves when workouts and journaling happen on the same day.” The long-term vision is an intelligent system that continuously helps users become more self-aware. Current Stage I already have: • Brand identity • Vision and philosophy • User flows • Interactive prototype • Core feature planning • Long-term roadmap I’m now looking for a developer or small team (2-3 people) to build the first production version. What I’m Looking For I’m looking for someone who can think beyond simply building screens. I want someone who can: • Build scalable architecture • Recommend the best technologies • Think through user experience • Ask thoughtful questions • Help solve technical challenges • Build for future AI integrations • Create clean, maintainable code Experience with AI, analytics, mobile applications, and scalable backend systems is a significant advantage. Technology (Open to Recommendations) I’m open to your recommendations, but I’m considering: • Flutter or React Native • Node.js or Python backend • PostgreSQL • Firebase/Supabase • AWS • AI integrations (OpenAI or similar) • Secure authentication and cloud infrastructure Long-Term Vision Trading is only the beginning. The underlying engine should eventually support entrepreneurs, athletes, creators, students, and anyone pursuing mastery in a specific area of life. The core idea remains the same: Help people understand themselves by connecting patterns across their behaviors, decisions, and outcomes. Who I’m Looking For I’m looking for someone who believes in building meaningful products—not just completing tasks. If you’re excited about creating a platform that combines psychology, data, AI, and personal development into something people genuinely use to improve their lives, I’d love to hear from you. Please include examples of similar work, your recommended tech stack, and how you would approach building a scalable MVP that can grow over time.

I would then like to build additional income streams using a repeatable process. I am not looking for a get-rich-quick program, cryptocurrency opportunity, expensive course, dropshipping package, or someone whose main goal is to sell me additional services. I want practical, ethical, realistic guidance from someone who has personally created online income or helped others do it. Please include the following in your proposal: Which online income streams have you personally created or managed? What experience do you have with AI, digital products, Amazon KDP, Etsy, Shopify, or online freelancing? Based on my description, which two opportunities would you explore first? What would we accomplish during the first three to five hours? Can you provide examples of products, businesses, or clients you have helped? What ongoing work is normally required after a product is launched? I would like to begin with a small paid trial. The first deliverable should include a personalized assessment, recommendations for the best opportunities, and a clear 30-day action plan.

Summary As Exponentials is the first startup in the world to solve the AI backlash, we feel that it make sense and is realistic for us to choose our own investors rather than them choosing us. Here is the Exponentials investor demo (in progress) https://pull-discovery-core.base44.app/ Exponentials is seeking a senior virtual assistant or project manager. We find that our best hires have a natural culture fit. Are you an individual who sees solutions over problems? If so, how does that build a foundation for your work? How proactive are you, and what does that mean? Do you believe that world-class teams win in business and in life? What does it mean to be a part of and help lead a world-class team? Whare are your personal qualities and beliefs that contribute to this? Are you a fit to Exponentials as detailed below. What do you understand about Exponentials from the below that others miss? What is Exponentials trying to do, and why are you clearly the best candidate to do it? Exponentials investment thesis: 1. Exponentials is solving the AI backlash via the co-evolution of AI and humans in the service of human needs, and thus moving from the current extraction model of AI to a collaborative model. For Exponentials, this is moving past discovery silos to create unified discovery across (initially, $25 trillion TAM) Ecommerce, healthcare, education and media. This is accomplished through the combination of Search, LLM's and World models 2 AI can't be (optimally) successful if too many of its (potential) customers are fearful of or dislike AI 3 AI is feared and disliked (in addition to loved), as customers are smart enough to realize that AI is employing an extraction model on humans rather than a collaborative model with humans in the service of human needs 4 Major tech CEO's telling the public that they are wrong to have negative views about AI is insulting one's customer 5 If the AI industry wants to get into a war with the public it will be a stalemate at best. AI has enough perceived benefits already and the AI companies are powerful enough that they can impose their will on the public to a certain degree, but 6 It is inevitable that the AI companies who actually give the customers what they want and what truly benefits them, by flipping from the push to the pull model, will have a sustainable competitive advantage, with both inevitability and defensibility. 7 Famously, the future is already here. It is just not evenly distributed. And famously, there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. 8 We are not selling technology. We are not selling a model of AI. We are selling an empowered path for humanity that is inevitable and defensible because the AI backlash is real and not sustainable long term. What the research says about Exponentials Book Excerpt How to Avoid the AI Backlash Leading to the AI Bubble Hartfield, Solis & Elridge In 2026, artificial intelligence stands at a strange crossroads. On paper, it is the most powerful general-purpose technology humanity has ever built. In practice, a growing share of the public now experiences AI as something done to them rather than for them — and that emotional turn is reshaping the technology's future as surely as any breakthrough in model architecture. When AI is built on top of architectures that treat humans as targets for extraction — of attention, data, or money — it inevitably triggers backlash, and that backlash in turn increases the odds of a violent AI bubble. When AI is built as infrastructure for discovery that co-evolves with humans in the service of our actual needs, we get a different trajectory: compounding value, durable trust, and a stable foundation for long-term innovation. Exponentials, for example, is building a different kind of infrastructure: a universal personal discovery engine that integrates large language models, adaptive search, and world models to help people navigate complex needs across commerce, health, education, and media. Instead of pushing content to you based on what is most profitable to show, such a system starts from your articulated intent, your evolving context, and your long-term goals. Pull discovery uses the same core components that power today's AI wave — but arranges them differently. It treats you as an integrated being whose health, work, learning, and media consumption are interconnected, rather than as a series of separate "users" in separate verticals to be monetized independently. An AI-driven discovery engine built on pull, not push, gives us a way to answer, credibly, the question that will increasingly be asked by citizens, workers, and regulators: "Who is this for?" If we build the missing layer of AI for human needs — a discovery infrastructure that co-evolves with us, across the whole pyramid of human need — AI becomes a tool that communities defend rather than attack, that regulators shape rather than suppress, that individuals choose rather than endure. Book Excerpt The Co-Evolution of Artificial Intelligence and Humans Kai Mercer & Lena Voss We are not passengers in the age of AI. We are in the earliest stages of a co-evolutionary relationship — one in which humans and artificial intelligence are changing each other in continuous feedback loops. The question is not whether this co-evolution will happen. It is already happening. The question is what kind of co-evolution we will choose. For two decades, the dominant model has been "push discovery" — systems that decide what you should see based on what maximizes platform profit or engagement, not what serves your needs. These systems are powered by sophisticated AI. But they are not designed to serve human flourishing. The AI gets smarter at manipulation. Humans adapt by becoming more skeptical, more weary, more prone to decision fatigue. This is co-evolution in the wrong direction. Exponentials demonstrates a fundamentally different architecture — one built around understanding and serving human intent. The platform uses large language models to understand queries in context (not just keywords, but intent, constraints, and values), world models that maintain continuously updated representations of options, and hybrid search across structured and unstructured data. Critically, the person evolves too: getting better at articulating needs, learning to trust well-matched recommendations, navigating abundance efficiently rather than being overwhelmed by it. Critically, Exponentials proves this model is economically viable. Operating on subscriptions rather than advertising means the platform succeeds when you find what you need efficiently — not when you're kept scrolling indefinitely. When economic incentives align with human wellbeing rather than against it, co-evolution can move in a fundamentally different direction. The co-evolutionary trajectory is not determined by technological capability. It is determined by design philosophy, business model, and the values embedded in the system's optimization function. Exponentials proves the second path is viable — and that aligned AI, genuinely designed to serve human flourishing, can work at scale.
