About the role
Senior engineers in a frontier multimodal AI lab who direct AI coding agents, set technical direction, and shape product strategy in a high-speed, high-ambition environment focused on multimodal general intelligence and AI-native product development.
Responsibilities
- Direct AI coding agents to build production systems quickly, while maintaining discipline around system design, ownership, and real-world behavior.
- Decide what to build and what not to build as implementation costs drop.
- Set technical direction across engineering, including system boundaries, data models, ownership, and operational expectations.
- Co-own product direction in partnership with design and research, defining both what we build and how we build it.
- Make and stand behind hard tradeoffs between speed, reliability, complexity, and extensibility.
- Shape architecture early, before decisions harden into constraints.
- Own critical outcomes end-to-end, from problem framing to deployment and iteration.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience building and shipping production software.
- Led multiple non-trivial projects, owning technical direction and execution end-to-end.
- Made high-stakes technical decisions that materially affected a system or product.
- Fluent with AI coding tools and have used them to ship real functionality in production or substantial side projects.
