What You'll Do
Own Technical Direction and Architecture
• Set the technical direction for AI systems, including shared AI SDKs, guardrails, evaluation frameworks, feedback systems, and agentic workflow infrastructure
• Own architecture and technical strategy for complex backend and AI platform systems, from design through production
• Lead technical design for ambiguous, cross functional initiatives, evaluating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders, and driving implementation
• Evaluate and select technologies with a bias toward what ships well and scales sustainably
Build and Operate AI Systems
• Write production code as a hands on individual contributor, this is not a role that delegates implementation to others
• Design and operate LLM powered systems, including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, evaluation infrastructure, guardrails, and model observability
• Own end to end reliability of AI systems, from design through structured output delivery
• Define quality benchmarks
Champion AI Native Development

• Establish coding standards, review practices, and architectural documentation that scale as the team grows
• Help define what “good” looks like for a team building at speed without sacrificing quality
• Partner with recruiting to build and grow the team
Collaborate Cross Functionally

• Participate actively in design reviews and roadmap discussions with a grounded, implementation level perspective
• Handle most cross team conflicts and technical decisions autonomously
AI Fluency
• Ability to critically evaluate AI generated code and outputs, including identifying failure modes, regressions, and edge cases introduced by AI assisted development
• Experience building and shipping production grade software using AI assisted workflows across the full SDLC
• Hands on experience developing or integrating LLM powered systems, such as agents, copilots, tool using workflows, or multi step reasoning systems
• Familiarity with patterns such as tool calling agents, planning and execution loops, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
• Demonstrated ability to leverage modern AI tools to improve development velocity, code quality, and problem solving
• Experience contributing to AI powered features, such as intelligent search, conversational interfaces, recommendations, and automation
• Working knowledge of LLMs, embeddings, semantic search, and RAG pipelines
• Ability to identify and evaluate opportunities to integrate AI capabilities into products and workflows
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
• 10 to 12 years of experience in software development across building, integration, security, and architecture
• Previous experience building enterprise grade APIs is a plus
• Previous experience leading a team is a plus
• Expertise in object oriented programming with Python as the primary language
