  • Innovate with a Startup Mentality: Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders to identify new AI-driven opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions, and validate their potential impact in production environments.
  • Stay Ahead of AI Trends: Evaluate and integrate cutting-edge AI tools and practices to continuously improve our AI capabilities.
Who You Are:
  • Experienced Technical Leader: You have a track record of delivering high-impact projects in AI or data-intensive systems, ideally as a technical founder or founding engineer at an AI startup.
  • Innovative and Hands-On: You excel at navigating new AI landscapes, with experience deploying scalable AI products or integrating ML systems into broader software architectures.
  • Systems Thinker: Strong experience with backend engineering and an understanding of how to build robust, maintainable AI systems. Familiarity with large language models, conversational interfaces, and data management for continuous learning is a plus.
  • Mentor and Collaborator: You're skilled at fostering a collaborative environment, providing guidance and mentorship to elevate the team's capabilities.
  • Adaptable Problem Solver: Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make pragmatic decisions to guide the team effectively, with a focus on both innovation and reliability.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • 7+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong foundation in AI-driven products and scalable systems.
  • Proven experience leading technical teams, including mentoring and defining engineering best practices.
  • Proficiency in Python and backend technologies relevant to AI integration, with familiarity in tools like LangChain, RAG, and LLM fine-tuning preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset that thrives in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary team.
