## About the role

Own and grow the AI org. Lead our AI team today and scale it into three teams - AI infrastructure (routing & reliability), Agent intelligence (evals, shared tools, multimodal pipelines), and Agentic products (the customer-facing AI assistant, long running agentic workflows). Set technical direction for how we build agents that hold up in real production, on real customer money.

## What they're looking for

- Proven experience leading AI/ML engineering teams building production LLM/agent systems — you've managed engineers and shipped, not just advised
- Deep, hands-on understanding of agentic architectures — tool use, planning, multi-agent orchestration, evals, reliability
- Strong technical bar — still fluent in the code, can dive deep and evaluate experiment design rigorously
- Track record building and scaling teams — recruiting strong people and growing leaders under you
- Clear communicator, in person and in writing
- Bonus: B2B SaaS and working at a early stage growth startup
