Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a Decision Engineering Team Lead to guide a small team building AI-powered decision tools that boost business operations productivity. You will set technical direction while shipping hands‑on AI solutions and growing engineers.

You will collaborate with leadership to map goals into an AI tooling roadmap and drive high‑impact augmentation opportunities across workflows.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience including leading engineers or owning technical direction for a team.
• Production‑grade code in Go, Python, and TypeScript (and the ability to work in an arbitrary language, primarily driving AI coding tools)
• Strong full‑stack development skills building web applications (React, Next.js, or similar frameworks)
• Hands‑on experience building applications with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open‑weight models), creating and using MCP servers, and agentic frameworks
• Deep understanding of AI coding agent tools including Claude Code and Cursor, and the agent frameworks around them
• Proven ability to work autonomously and get a team (and their agents) to ship results with minimal direction and high impact
• Great product and design taste, and the judgment to balance rapid iteration with maintainable foundations others build on
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders and drive adoption
• Nice to have: exposure to business operations, finance, or strategy‑and‑operations workflows, or to leading teams building internal operational tooling

Responsibilities

• Lead a small team of Decision Engineers, setting technical direction and owning the bar for what ships
• Still build hands‑on: personally ship the highest‑leverage AI tools and agents for business operations workflows
• Own the team's delivery: identify the highest‑impact AI augmentation opportunities across business operations workflows and turn them into shipped tools with measurable productivity gains
• Design and maintain shared AI infrastructure including AGENTS.md and SKILLS.md, and shared skills the wider organization builds on
• Grow the engineers on your team through review, direction, and hiring
• Partner with team and functional leadership to translate their goals into an AI tooling roadmap
