We're hiring the engineering leader who will own its AI core.</p> <p>Small senior team, greenfield architecture and real production environments from day one. You'll be one of the founding technical leaders - writing code, shaping the architecture, and growing the team as the product scales.</p> <p><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p> <p><strong>Agent Architecture & Engineering</strong></p> <p>Design and build the AI systems at the center of the product: researcher agents, deterministic runners, multi-agent orchestration across thousands of targets and hundreds of sites.</p> <p>Own the full agent stack - LLM selection and behavior, RAG pipelines, tool use, memory, evaluation, and observability. Make architectural decisions that will define how the product works for years.</p> <p>Drive adoption of the modern agent ecosystem: LangGraph, MCP, semantic tool discovery, hybrid edge/cloud workflows, A2A patterns. Keep pushing the frontier.</p> <p><strong>Safety & Reliability</strong></p> <p>Design for progressive autonomy: pre-checks, fault tolerance, rollback, and full audit trails. In our customers' environments - critical infrastructure, enterprise security - a wrong action has real consequences.</p> <p>Build the evaluation and observability pipelines that make autonomous agent behavior trustworthy and debuggable in production.</p> <p>Partner with Security and DevOps on agent execution boundaries, especially across on-prem ↔ cloud data flows.</p> <p><strong>Technical Leadership</strong></p> <p>Spend most of your time in the codebase. Set the technical bar by example - architecture, code quality, and engineering judgment.</p> <p>Establish standards for testing, evaluation, and safe deployment of AI systems. Build the practices that scale with the team.</p> <p>Work directly with the PM and enterprise design partners to shape the roadmap. Your decisions will drive the product, not just execute it.</p> <p><strong>Team</strong></p> <p>Start with a small senior group, grow it deliberately. Hire well, mentor, and shape the engineering culture of a startup inside a public company.</p> <p><strong>What We Expect</strong></p> <p><strong>Must have</strong></p> <ul> <li>8+ years engineering experience with production systems, including time leading or tech-leading a team.</li> <li>Experience building a team from the ground up - first hires, culture, hiring bar.</li> <li>Shipped AI/LLM products to production - not just demos or POCs.</li> <li>Strong Python and/or TypeScript.</li> <li>Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks (LangGraph, Mastra, AWS Strands, Vercel AI SDK, or similar), prompt engineering, RAG, and model behavior in production.</li> <li>Distributed systems fundamentals: workflow orchestration, fault-tolerant architectures, async patterns.</li> <li>Cloud and self-hosted model deployment (Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama).</li> <li>Hands-on leadership - you write code, review PRs, set the bar. You also know when to step back.</li> <li>Comfortable with ambiguity and the pace of a zero-to-one build.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Nice to have</strong></p> <ul> <li>Background in network security, asset discovery, or traffic analysis</li> <li>Familiarity with OT/ICS network protocols (Modbus, S7comm, PROFINET, DNP3)</li> <li>Multi-agent architectures in production (A2A, agent swarms).</li> <li>Memory libraries (Mem0, LangMem, MemGPT).</li> <li>LLM evaluation frameworks (LangSmith, Bedrock Evaluations).</li> <li>Vector stores (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma), PostgreSQL/MongoDB.</li> <li>Background in cybersecurity or critical infrastructure.</li> <li>IaC (CDK, Terraform).</li> </ul><div class="content-conclusion"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The choices you make in your career journey matter.
