## About the role

You'll lead the Ecosystems team: the engineers who connect Ambient.ai to the Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) our customers run, and who are extending into new access control capabilities. You'll own both the team and the partner relationships behind it. The team's work ranges from building and maintaining PACS integrations that customers depend on every day to developing new access control products from an early, ambiguous starting point. You'll set direction and priorities across all of it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Deep experience with access control systems, from the software side (a PACS vendor, a cloud access control company, or an integrator's engineering team) or the hardware side (locks, readers, controllers, credentials)
- 6+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years managing engineers or leading a team as a tech lead with people responsibilities
- A track record of shipping and operating integrations with third-party systems, and of building something new from an early, ambiguous starting point
- Experience owning technical relationships with external partners: you've scoped joint work, negotiated access and support, and resolved escalations without losing the relationship
- Strong backend and distributed systems judgment, including systems that span customer-site hardware and the cloud
- Clear communication with engineers, product leaders, partner executives, and customers alike
