About the role

Leader responsible for building and scaling the AI-native platform engineering organization, including Intelligence, Connectivity, Data & Fraud, Assemble, and cross-pillar infrastructure; hands-on, player-coach with deep focus on agents, LLM orchestration, and reliable infra at scale.

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 the platform org and its quality bar.
  • Partner with architecture leadership and product on strategy and execution.
  • Lead org design & growth for the platform domains — build and scale the platform / AI / infra team and its standards.
  • Advance the agentic & conversational AI platform — LLM orchestration, retrieval systems, evals, and integration / computer-use infrastructure.
  • Improve velocity & quality — tooling, eval gates, and reliability practices across domains.
  • Foster AI-native engineering culture — adopt frontier tools and create an engineering harness that multiplies output.
  • Drive eng/ops excellence — incident response, observability, reliability targets; collaborate with CTO on architecture and product.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years engineering experience
  • 4–6 years in leadership at high-growth startups / scale-ups
  • Experience scaling a platform / infra team through a funding transition
  • Domain commonality: AI / agentic systems, LLM / ML infrastructure, or conversational / voice AI at production scale on the platform
  • Preferred: ex-founder who scaled an AI-native / platform startup
  • Deep AI engineering fluency — understanding of LLMs and reliable agentic systems at infra level
  • Hands-on platform background — distributed systems, API design, cloud architecture, production AI ops
  • Still technical — reviews PRs, makes architecture calls, collaborates with Staff / Chief Engineer
  • BS/BA in CS required; MS/PhD a plus
  • Production-scale TypeScript and/or Python experience
