Job summary

Altana is seeking a Senior Engineer to lead a small team and deliver AI‑driven product experiences end‑to‑end. You’ll work closely with product and design, engage with customers, and translate insights into shipped, adopted solutions.

You will mentor engineers, set a high technical bar, and own the architecture, telemetry, and outcomes from concept to production. Brooklyn-based, hybrid work with flexible collaboration and strong compensation.

Qualifications

• Deployed production code and services to cloud-hosted environments.
• Experience delivering incremental releases from proof-of-concept to MVP to production.
• Self-starter with demonstrated experience working on large, complex problems.
• Care deeply about engineering excellence, clean code, and knowledge-sharing.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience leading other engineers on complex projects.

Responsibilities

• Spend real time with customers. Sit alongside them in their workflows, watch where they get stuck, and translate what you learn into product bets your team is willing to ship behind.
• Partner with the product team to decide what to build, not just how. Form hypotheses about customer value, design the smallest experiment, and learn fast.
• Take new product surfaces from 0 to 1: pitch, prototype, ship, and drive adoption with real users.
• Build AI‑native by default: LLMs, agents, evals, retrieval, and modern AI tooling are first‑class building blocks in your stack.
• Own end‑to‑end outcomes from first customer conversation to telemetry six months later.
• Set the technical bar for your team with high quality, simplicity, and customer impact.
• Mentor engineers in customer‑centric, hypothesis‑driven product development.
• Drive technical decision‑making with a bias toward shipping.
