What You'll Do :

  • Partner directly with the cofounders to set and execute the AI engineering strategy.
  • Hire, lead, and mentor a founding AI engineering team within our incubation group, growing both technical depth and organizational capability.
  • Act as a player‑coach : contribute hands‑on to architecture, model training, and backend engineering while scaling a team around you.
  • Design and build scalable ML infrastructure to support model training, fine‑tuning, deployment, and monitoring at production scale.
  • Lead the development of agentic applications, including designing, training, and launching agents that operate in real‑world customer environments.
  • Establish best practices for data quality, labeling, and ML pipelines, enabling rapid experimentation and continuous improvement.
  • Drive responsible AI development by ensuring reliability, ethics, safety, and performance in all models and agents shipped to production.
  • Collaborate closely with product, data science, and business stakeholders to translate research breakthroughs into customer‑facing features.
  • Set engineering standards and build a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and accountability.

What You'll Bring :

  • 5+ years of experience in backend software engineering, with 2+ years leading AI / ML teams.
  • Hands‑on experience training AI / ML models, including foundation models, fine‑tuned models, or specialized domain models.
  • Proven experience building and deploying agentic applications, with deep knowledge of agent design patterns and orchestration.
  • Strong track record of launching AI models and agents into production environments at scale.
  • Advanced expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning.
  • Experience designing scalable data systems and pipelines for training and inference.
  • Fluency in backend and ML‑oriented programming languages such as Python, Java, Scala, or C++.
  • Knowledge of modern ML toolkits and frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, Ray, etc.).
  • Strong ability to balance hands‑on technical depth with leadership, mentoring, and organizational building.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience working directly with senior executives or founders.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Base pay range : $260,000 - $310,000 per year. This role also qualifies for an annual bonus and initial equity package in the form of stock options.

    Benefits :

  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
  • Short & long‑term disability insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Paid parental leave
  • Monthly reimbursements for gym, phone, internet, and commuting
  • 10+ paid company holidays in each calendar year and unlimited PTO
  • We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other category prohibited by applicable law.
