Make intelligence open and accessible to all. Backed by Battery, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
About the role
Reflection's Applications team builds the product surfaces that turn raw platform capabilities into usable workflows — the internal dashboards, admin tools, and self-serve experiences our teams run on, and the customer-facing surfaces that connect Reflection to the outside world. This work sits at the intersection of engineering and product: translating ambiguous requirements into clean, operable systems and taking ideas from prototype to hardened production.
What they're looking for
- Experience building, mentoring, and growing engineering teams while staying technically hands-on. (Comfortable growing into leading a team of ~10 quickly if you haven't managed at that scale before.)
- Deep full-stack engineering experience, with real ownership of production-grade applications shipped end to end
- Strong coding ability and the credibility to earn the technical trust of a strong team
- Comfortable across the full delivery surface — UI through API through auth — with depth in at least one layer and the ability to work across the rest
- Experience integrating with external systems or customer environments and making those integrations reliable and maintainable
- Ability to guide strategy and drive execution in a fast-moving, zero-to-one environment, and to partner effectively across research, platform, and product
More about this role
Reflection is a research lab making intelligence open and accessible for everyone to use, customize, and build on. We build open models that let anyone control their intelligence and help shape the future of AI. Our mission: make intelligence open and accessible to all.

As Applications Lead, you'll provide front-line leadership of the team that builds these surfaces. You'll build, mentor, and grow a team of full-stack engineers, guide the technical and architectural decisions that shape what we ship, and work closely with research, platform, and product to decide what gets built and how. You'll stay close enough to the stack — UI through API through auth — to make targeted contributions as an individual contributor and to...
