Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Implementation Lead - **Company:** Uniti AI, Inc. - **Location:** New York, NY, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $140,000.0 - $160,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Software Debugging, JSON, Standard Sql, Systems Integration, Webhooks - **Published:** June 17, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=c570e499ecb9aacb ## About the Role Do you have experience in Team supervision?, * 4+ years in Implementation, Solutions Architecture, Forward Deployed Engineering, or Customer-facing Engineering at a B2B SaaS or AI company, with at least 2 years managing a team of ICs in one of those functions. * A track record of building or rebuilding an implementation or solutions architecture function at a Series A-C company. You've hired the team, set the bar, and shipped the playbook - not just executed against one you inherited. * Strong technical fluency - prompts, integrations, APIs, webhooks, basic SQL, JSON. You can debug a misbehaving integration alongside an IM, not just supervise. * Strong project management instincts. You hold a 12-step implementation in your head, see where it's about to slip, and pull the right lever before it does - and you've taught others to do the same. * A track record of hiring, ramping, and coaching ICs in this function. You can describe the leveling between IM I, IM II, and Solutions Architect from memory because you've shaped it before. * Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain a technical tradeoff to a non-technical operator, a business priority to a senior engineer, and a performance gap to a direct report - all in the same week. ## Description On the back of 6x YoY growth, we raised our Series A and are tripling headcount this year. As our Implementation Team Lead, you build and lead the team that turns every signed contract into a live, working agent., * Prior work at an AI-native company, especially one where you owned the customer-facing implementation or solutions architecture team during a category's early growth. * Founding-implementation-hire or founding-solutions-architecture-hire experience at a previous startup. * Startup experience a big plus. Who you are * You want to be at an early-stage startup. You've been in a high-growth environment before, you know what tripling headcount in a year actually feels like, and you've led a team through that kind of growth without losing the bar. * You take ownership of large, undefined problems. A new vertical lands on the roadmap and needs an implementation playbook before sales can sell it. You don't wait for a brief - you scope it, build it, staff it, and ship it. * You're a player-coach. You don't just delegate the hard implementations to the team. You take the hardest ones yourself when it makes the team better - and you know when to step back. * You're close to the customer. You'd rather sit on a kickoff call or walk a facility than read a project status report. The best ideas about how to scale Implementation come from what this customer actually said. * You ship fast and iterate. You'd rather launch the 80% version of a new playbook this month and tighten it next month than spend a quarter writing the perfect one. ## Related Videos - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Beyond Webhooks: The Future of Scalable API Event Delivery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100312-beyond-webhooks-the-future-of-scalable-api-event-delivery) - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [The Intent Engineer: Closing the Gap Between Business & Engineering - Manuel Klein](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1855-the-intent-engineer-closing-the-gap-between-business-engineering-manuel-klein) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer)
