Our client is building an AI workspace for document-heavy industries. The platform automates complex workflows, extracts high-value insights from unstructured documents, and enables enterprise teams to make faster, better decisions at scale.

You'll provide technical leadership across core product systems and shape the long-term architecture of a rapidly scaling AI platform.

    • AI driven workflow automation

    • Multi step, agentic generation pipelines

  • Lead technical design across critical product areas, balancing speed, quality, and long term maintainability

  • Work closely with product and commercial teams to translate real customer problems into robust technical solutions

  • Set engineering standards and mentor senior engineers through architecture reviews and technical guidance

  • Leverage AI assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to accelerate delivery

  • Drive continuous improvement in system reliability, performance, and security

What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience operating at Staff or Principal level in high growth or technically demanding environments

  • Deep expertise in Python and backend system design

  • Strong track record of owning business critical systems from concept through production and scale

  • Experience building and maintaining high quality APIs and integrations

  • Practical experience applying AI/LLM based systems in real production environments

  • Excellent architectural judgment and the ability to make high impact technical decisions

  • Clear, confident communicator who can influence across engineering, product, and leadership

  • Strong product intuition and commercial awareness

Nice to Have

  • Experience with agentic workflows, orchestration, or complex AI pipelines

  • Past experience in real estate, law, or finance

  • Experience designing modular or distributed systems

  • Open source contributions or visible technical leadership
