Working directly with the founding leadership team, you will make critical product and technology decisions, build the initial engineering organization, and establish the foundations of a globally competitive enterprise AI business.
We are looking for someone who combines product vision, deep technical expertise, hands-on engineering capability, and strong business judgment.

2. Enterprise AI Architecture
Design a secure, scalable, multi-tenant, cloud-native enterprise AI platform.
Build capabilities for enterprise data integration, contextual intelligence, and governed AI workflows.

What you'll bring

Approximately 12–18 years of relevant technology and software product experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates.
Proven experience building enterprise software, B2B SaaS, or AI-driven products from concept to production.
Strong software engineering, system architecture, and technical decision-making capabilities.
Practical experience with LLM applications, RAG, AI agents, model orchestration, and enterprise data systems.
Experience with cloud-native platforms, APIs, databases, distributed systems, and enterprise integrations.
Ability to recruit, mentor, and lead engineering teams.
Strong product judgment and the ability to translate complex business problems into practical technical solutions.
Excellent communication skills and experience engaging enterprise customers and senior stakeholders.
