## About the role

We're hiring a Lead AI Engineer to set the technical direction for the agent systems at the heart of autonomous financial audits. You'll own architecture for long-horizon reasoning and large-scale data ingestion, raise the reliability bar, and grow the engineers building alongside you. This is a high-ownership role with responsibility from architecture through deployment, and technical leadership across the agent stack.

## What they're looking for

- Deep experience building complex agent or workflow-based systems — You can reason about how to rebuild systems like Claude-style agents from scratch, and you understand planning, tool use, memory, and failure modes
- Technical leadership track record — You've owned the architecture of a hard system and levelled up the engineers around you, without stepping back from writing code
- Strong fullstack and systems fundamentals — You ship fault-tolerant features end to end and design concurrent workloads over large datasets with throughput, backpressure, retries, and observability in mind
- Comfort learning non-engineering domains quickly — You can absorb audit concepts from domain experts and turn them into working systems fast
- Experience with or adjacent to our stack: TypeScript, Python, Temporal, Docker, Terraform, AWS Fargate
