About Genius AI

Genius AI powers the self-running business—one that works, earns, and grows while practitioners do what they do best: care for the client in front of them.

About the role

Own execution for your team end-to-end: delivery, quality bar, scope trade-offs, and the decisions that get things shipped without accumulating technical debt Embed AI tooling into how your team builds as a default, not a suggestion, identifying where it accelerates development cycles, improves code quality, and removes bottlenecks that previously required human intervention

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years managing a software engineering team at a high-growth technology company
  • Fundamentally changed how you build software because of AI: you use it to architect, debug, write, and review code, and you have a clear point of view on where it accelerates your team's output versus where judgment still needs to be human
  • Make decisions and move: you don't wait for full information, you set a direction, ship something, and adjust based on what you learn
  • Strong enough technical judgment to earn the trust of your team, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and give meaningful input on what gets built and how
  • Track record of developing engineers: you've invested in people's growth and can point to what they went on to do
  • Customer-centric instincts: you connect engineering decisions to outcomes for the service businesses we serve, not just to technical correctness
