Leveraging the globally top-ranked Falcon AI models from the Technology Innovation Institute, AI71's focus spans multi-domain advancements, initially targeting the medical, education, and legal sectors. We specialize in turning innovation into impact. If you're ready to lead a world-class software engineering team at the intersection of AI and venture building, then AI71 is the place for you.


The Role:


This role will lead software engineering for developing industry-leading AI software using cutting-edge research breakthroughs.


As our engineering lead, you will be tasked with providing leadership to a group of SW and ML engineers in an innovative and fast-paced environment, with a combination of horizontal (platform) and vertical (project, product development) responsibilities. You will own and drive complex technical projects from the concept/planning stage through execution and release, in close collaboration with various other functions including Product Management and Technical Program Management.


You will have the technical chops to roll up your sleeves, provide technical leadership to major projects, and manage a large team of engineers. You will own your project goals, contribute to product strategy, and develop your team.

Operating with scale and speed, our world-class software and ML engineers are just getting started -- and as their lead, you will guide the way.


Job Responsibilities:


Technical abilities:


  • Design, implement, test, debug, deploy, and maintain full-stack features
  • Set team vision, technical direction, architectural approach, and execution, and be accountable for the success of complex projects.
  • Scope problems and recommend technical solutions that consider both short and long-term needs, and implement solutions or delegate the implementation to reports (i.e. go beyond simply implementing others’ ideas)
  • Demonstrated ability to learn complex new application domains and ecosystems


Organizational Leadership and Team Management:


  • Build a strong engineering team and lead them to realize their potential and effectively deliver impact while fostering a team culture that focuses on Eng/Product/Ops excellence
  • Collaborate with PM, UX, and other functional leads to establish a shared technology, product vision, and roadmap for the team
  • Drive communicating the larger vision of the org and connecting the dots between the business and technical priorities to leadership, peers, and teams


Strategy & Execution:


  • Collaborate with senior developers and the larger team to gather requirements, define high-level architecture, and review detailed designs.
  • Participate in the full life-cycle of new modules/features: shape product strategy, understand product requirements, contribute to system design, coach SWEs to implement and land these features
  • Execute the strategies and roadmap and deliver high-impact solutions
  • Own and drive outcomes for large, complex initiatives


About you


Required Qualifications (what you should have):


  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Masters or Ph.D. degree in a relevant engineering discipline or computer science is preferred
  • 10+ years of professional ML software engineering experience
  • Ability to go deep into technical problems and work closely with engineers and technical leads, coupled with the ability to see the big picture of technical tradeoffs and direction
  • Experience with AI applications, solutions, and technology
  • Demonstrated ability to successfully lead software engineering teams building and delivering complex, customer-facing systems at a global scale
  • Outstanding cross-functional record of collaborating closely with and influencing non-technical and technical stakeholders


Preferred experience (it would be awesome if you also had these):


  • Experience with technical innovation at an early stage and in fast-paced environments
  • Ability to recruit and develop technical talent and inspire and motivate an engineering team to work together as a cohesive and highly productive unit
  • Cultivate ideas across organizational boundaries that create strategic opportunities.
  • Proven track record of ideation and innovating exceptional technology at scale, while motivating others to act by creating a shared sense of vision and purpose
  • Entrepreneurial and strategic mindset, thriving at the intersection of technology and business


Why AI71:


  • Proven performance of our large language models
  • Strong traction and adoption from the open-source community
  • Secured proprietary data to build specialized distinctive models.
