Software Engineering Manager

Mission

4Minds is an enterprise AI fine-tuning platform that transforms how organizations build and operate private, domain-specific AI. Unlike static systems, 4Minds’s AI platform learns continuously from live data in real time and can be deployed on-prem or your cloud provider.

Our patented technologies scale existing engineering teams and empower new AI teams, enabling rapid AI deployment, adaptation, and ROI. Through 4Minds’s automated data pipeline and proprietary knowledge graph, enterprises can connect all their data sources, including Microsoft, Databricks, AWS and Google, creating adaptive AI that surpasses the capabilities of conventional RAG-based systems.

Role Overview

We’re looking for an experienced software Engineering Manager to join our core engineering teams and own the deployment of new LLM training features for our enterprise clients. You’ll work cross-functionally with design and product management to build systems that are robust, scalable, and user-centered. Our teams tackle a range of challenges, from enabling real-time user collaboration on detailed maps to building high-scale backend architecture for ingesting billions of data points. You’ll own the process of evaluating all code and features and pushing everything from staging to production.

We value both ownership and collaboration, so you will share full responsibility with the CTO and CPO for major features and work closely with other engineers to drive them to completion. We believe that humility and empathy are essential for building the right solutions—you will own our deployment and understand our users as we iterate to solve their problems. Perseverance and creativity are crucial to executing our vision.

This role is for someone who thrives in both people management and hands-on technical leadership with a niche building enterprise software. You’ll inherit and continue to develop a high-performing team, guide them through complex technical challenges, and ensure their work aligns with our business priorities. The ideal candidate will balance mentorship while maintaining high standards in technical execution.
