JOB-1672
An AI transformation firm that combines consulting, a venture studio and private equity activity is hiring senior engineers for its studio arm. Each new studio company begins with a handful of engineers who convert an idea that has passed early validation into something customers genuinely use, and this role is one of those seats.
What you’ll own
- Designing and shipping complete AI products built around autonomous agents, including their toolsets, connectors, search layers, coordination logic and user interfaces
- Guiding a new company’s initial product from concept to release: strip it back to the smallest version that shows value, then make it robust
- Embedding testing into everyday development with reference datasets, automated checks that block regressions, and live quality monitoring
- Production-grade reliability, with observability and incidents turned into tests and monitoring
- Reusable building blocks extracted from each project so later ventures start further ahead
- Contributing as a lead builder on one of the studio companies by about six months in
About you
- Four to ten years in software engineering, launching end-to-end AI systems to production
- Evidence of zero-to-one building: founder, founding engineer or products shipped to many users
- Full stack systems shipped and operated after launch, with a real post-launch story
- Production experience with agents, retrieval, orchestration, tool integrations and evaluation harnesses
- A STEM degree, with Python as the main language
- Commercial instinct and comfort presenting to non-technical stakeholders and design partners
- Low ego, high initiative and the habit of acting on ambiguity
- Not a fit: researchers, model-training or MLOps profiles, and recent contractors
Hybrid in New York, NY or Chicago. Visa transfers considered.
