## About the role

As Lead AI Engineer you take over the AI discipline: you own the how (architecture, standards, technical direction) across all three surfaces, you lead and grow a team of three AI engineers, and you stay hands-on where the problems are hardest. Stay hands-on: Roughly 70 percent of your time stays in the code, on the problems where your judgment matters most. The rest is technical and people leadership.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of software engineering experience with a senior or staff-level track record, built on a software engineering foundation (backend, platform, or full-stack)
- Hands-on experience designing, shipping, and operating LLM-powered systems in production: RAG, tool calling and MCP, orchestration, and evals. Not prototypes, systems you lived with after go-live
- Experience with multi-agent orchestration, weighted heavily. This is the core of what you would be architecting
- Demonstrated technical leadership: architecture ownership, tech lead responsibility, RFCs, design reviews, or setting standards for a team
- Proven ability to move technical work you don't own: you win architecture arguments through persuasion and credibility, and you're comfortable being right without being in charge
- Evidence that you grow people: coaching or mentoring engineers into stronger engineers rather than absorbing the work yourself
