Job description

Our client is building an AI workspace for document-heavy industries. The platform automates complex workflows, extracts high-value insights from unstructured documents, and enables enterprise teams to make faster, better decisions at scale.

You’ll provide technical leadership across core product systems and shape the long-term architecture of a rapidly scaling AI platform.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and evolve core backend and AI systems used by enterprise customers
  • Architect scalable, production-grade solutions for:
  • Large-scale document extraction and interpretation
  • AI-driven workflow automation
  • Multi-step, agentic generation pipelines
  • Lead technical design across critical product areas, balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
  • Work closely with product and commercial teams to translate real customer problems into robust technical solutions
  • Set engineering standards and mentor senior engineers through architecture reviews and technical guidance
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to accelerate delivery
  • Drive continuous improvement in system reliability, performance, and security

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience operating at Staff or Principal level in high-growth or technically demanding environments
  • Deep expertise in Python and backend system design
  • Strong track record of owning business-critical systems from concept through production and scale
  • Experience building and maintaining high-quality APIs and integrations
  • Practical experience applying AI/LLM-based systems in real production environments
  • Excellent architectural judgment and the ability to make high-impact technical decisions
  • Clear, confident communicator who can influence across engineering, product, and leadership
  • Strong product intuition and commercial awareness

Nice to Have

  • Experience with agentic workflows, orchestration, or complex AI pipelines
  • Past experience in real estate, law, or finance
  • Experience designing modular or distributed systems
  • Open-source contributions or visible technical leadership

If you’re looking to build something extraordinary, then apply today.
