Responsibilities
- Own the platform-engineering half of the org — the AI-native core that everything runs on: the Intelligence domain (agent runtime, knowledge / retrieval, evals, the data flywheel), Connectivity (integrations, channels, computer-use / actions-beyond-APIs), Data & Fraud, Assemble (the agent-authoring platform), and the cross-pillar infrastructure
- Build and scale the platform / AI / infra team and its standards
- Oversee the agentic & conversational AI platform — LLM orchestration, retrieval systems, evals, and integration / computer-use infrastructure
- Ensure velocity & quality — the tooling, eval gates, and reliability practices every domain depends on
- Foster an AI-native engineering culture — frontier tools as standard; an engineering harness that makes every engineer 10×
- Maintain eng/ops excellence — incident response, observability, reliability targets; partner on architecture and product
Skills
- 10+ years engineering; 4–6 in leadership at high-growth startups / scale-ups; scaled a platform / infra team through a funding transition
- Domain commonality (required): AI / agentic systems, LLM / ML infrastructure, or conversational / voice AI at production scale working on the platform
- Deep AI engineering fluency — how LLMs work, how to build reliable agentic systems on them, what 'agentic AI' means at the infra level
- Hands-on platform background — distributed systems, API design, cloud architecture, production AI ops. Production-scale TypeScript and/or Python
- Still technical — reviews PRs, makes architecture calls, holds their own with a Staff / Chief Engineer
- BS/BA in CS required
- Ex-founder who scaled an AI-native / platform startup (strong preference, not a bar)
- MS/PhD a plus
