• Lead the technical design and architectural discussions for new features and components within the AI Tooling roadmap.
• Manage project tasks through an agile SDLC, ensuring timely delivery and high‑quality results.

What You'll Bring:

• Strong technical background in software engineering, with deep expertise in building and scaling distributed systems.
• Expert‑level proficiency in Python and related ecosystem for production AI/ML applications.
• Proven track record as a senior individual contributor, designing and delivering complex software solutions.
• Technical skills with modern cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and engineering workflow tools (e.g., Jira, Git).
• Deep understanding of the AI Agent paradigm, including hands‑on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, agentic loop design, and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG).
• Experience driving coordinated action between cross‑functional teams (product, research, stakeholders) working from different locations around the world.
• A pragmatic mindset and a strong focus on delivering measurable, high‑impact results.
• A keen curiosity for cybersecurity and finding innovative ways to apply AI Agent technology to keep our clients safe.
