• Work within a high-caliber engineering culture led by industry veterans from major tech giants and top-tier gaming studios.
• Influence departmental standards and architecture while remaining deeply hands‑on with cutting-edge technologies in a well-funded, growth-stage environment.

What You Will Do

• Act as the primary technical lead for core product offerings, balancing daily feature delivery with long-term architectural planning.
• Partner with cross-functional science and product teams to integrate sophisticated AI models into production-ready software.
• Mentor and coach senior engineers to elevate technical standards, code quality, and deployment best practices across the organization.

The Ideal Candidate

• Extensive experience architecting and launching complex, scalable software products within a fast‑paced startup or scale‑up environment.
• Deep technical proficiency in TypeScript and React, paired with strong backend expertise in an object‑oriented language like Python.
