Champion engineering standards — API design, schema governance, testing strategies, and architecture decision records (ADRs)
Mentor senior engineers and establish guild-level technical communities around AI platform topics
What We're Looking For
10+ years of software engineering with 5+ years in a principal/staff or architect-level role
Hands-on experience designing and shipping production LLM-powered applications (not just prototypes)
Experience shipping complex, user-facing application platforms — particularly in SaaS, productivity tools, or enterprise software.
Demonstrated ability to lead full-stack teams building rich web application experiences (React, TypeScript/Node.js, modern frontend architectures) with strong backend (Python) and API design sensibility
Deep understanding of enterprise requirements: User Management, RBAC/ABAC permission models, audit logging, compliance frameworks, multi-tenant governance, and admin tooling.
Experience building contextual or adaptive UX — applications that respond to user state, workflow context, or personalization signals.
Strong grasp of cloud-native architecture (Kubernetes, Helm, container security, CI/CD) on AWS, GCP, or Azure
Solid understanding of API security: OAuth2, CSRF, rate limiting, secrets management, and zero-trust principles applied to AI endpoints
Preferred Experience
Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or comparable tool-calling/plugin infrastructure
Familiarity with workflow orchestration engines (Temporal, Prefect) for long-running AI tasks
Exposure to LLM evaluation frameworks (automated judging, red-teaming, regression suites)
Background in developer-facing products or internal AI platforms / AI coding tooling
Understanding of supply chain security for ML models (artifact signing, registry enforcement, SBOM)
Contributions to open-source AI tooling or published architectural writing
