    The role is ideal for a technical leader who has both trained models and shipped them into production, built agentic applications, and has a deep understanding of machine learning systems at scale.

    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.
