• Design and build core parts of our compound AI system, focusing on reliability, evaluation, and scale.
• Lead the most complex, mission-critical initiatives end-to-end, from problem framing through production and iteration.
• Multiply your team's impact by mentoring senior and mid-level engineers, raising the quality bar through code review, design review, and your own hands-on work.

• Proven ability to set technical direction for a team and deliver complex, high-impact projects.
• Hands-on experience building or scaling AI systems in production, ideally LLM-based, agentic, or retrieval-augmented, with sound judgment on where AI genuinely fits.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to translate technical solutions into tangible business value.
• A continuous learning mindset and a bias toward proving out new approaches rather than only tracking them.
• Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills, with a history of building consensus, elevating peers, and navigating cross-functional relationships.

• Track record of taking high-impact products from concept to market at scale.
