About the jobQV.AC is a general purpose AI assistant that runs locally on your devices. It gives people real control over their data and how they use AI. No cloud dependency, no data harvesting, and no one else s servers between you and your assistant. Our focus is local, on-device, privacy-preserving AI, connected across Tether s peer-to-peer ecosystem. We re building the AI assistant people actually own. Product sets the direction. We re looking for a Product Engineering Lead to turn that direction into features people love, built to a standard that holds up on real devices with real constraints. You lead the teams that build QV.AC s features and app experience on top of our local AI stack, each with its own lead. You report directly to the CTO and take direction from product. Product owns the what and the why. You own the how and the engineering bar. The split is roughly 70% engineering leadership and 30% product. You re a combination of three things. You re an engineering leader who has helped teams ship consumer products at speed. You have real product sense and can partner with PMs as an equal, shaping what gets built, not just executing it. And you have an intuition for AI systems and their limits, so you can turn emerging capabilities into features that work reliably on-device, without needing to build the models yourself.

Responsibilities

• Engineering - Run the app and feature teams day to day: unblocking, reviewing, and keeping them shipping.
  • Set and hold a high engineering bar for performance, reliability, and clean APIs.
  • Own the technical design of features and the API surface between our AI core and the app.
  • Make sure your teams work closely with our AI research and deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and anything that touches models or inference.
• Product Partnership - Work alongside QV.AC s product managers to turn vision and roadmap into scoped, buildable work.
  • Push back when scope and reality don t match, and propose better paths when they exist.
  • Bring an engineering perspective to product decisions, especially on what local models can do well today and what they can t yet.
  • Help the team move fast, using AI tools and quick prototypes to validate ideas before committing to them.
• Leadership - Create clarity around team goals and make sure everyone knows what success looks like.
  • Mentor team leads to build strong team operating systems, improve how their teams work with others, and grow as leaders.
  • Lead by example: roll up your sleeves when the team needs it, and step back when they re ready to own it.

Mandatory:

• Experience managing engineers or engineering leads who ship consumer product, ideally AI-powered apps.
• Strong product sense: you can tell a good feature from a busy one.
• Intuition for applied AI and on-device constraints: model size, latency, memory, battery, and the gap between a good demo and a reliable feature. You don t need ML research expertise, because our core abstracts it away.
• You use AI tools heavily in your own work and enjoy experimenting with new models and capabilities.
• Deep JavaScript and React.
• Initiative, curiosity, resilience, and the ability to give and receive direct critique.

Preferred:Bonus:

• Experience with local or on-device inference, LLM evals, cross-platform mobile and desktop apps, or open source.
