  • 1+ years of exposure to generative AI, LLM-based systems, or agentic architectures to direct technical strategy.

Nice to Haves

  • Strong technical communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with non-technical domain experts.
  • Proven ability to build, structure, and grow a multi-pillar engineering organization, including leveling decisions for Senior ICs.
  • Experience partnering with business-unit leaders and executive stakeholders to translate ambiguous needs into engineering roadmaps.
  • Working fluency across developer tooling, CI/CD evaluation pipelines, and AI systems.
  • Experience mentoring Senior engineers toward technical leadership and preparing them for promotions to Staff or Principal levels.
  • Solid grasp of generative AI concepts including prompt engineering, function calling, structured outputs, and agentic specifications (e.g., MCP).
  • Ability to refactor complex domain scripts/documentation into modular, testable, production-ready code.
  • Experience writing unit/integration tests, mocking API dependencies, and debugging schema mismatches.
  • Strategic agility to ramp up on new business domains and deliver high-impact capabilities quickly.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Manage technical leads and senior engineers across developer experience tooling, continuous evaluation infrastructure, and applied/field engineering pillars.
  • Set and enforce engineering standards for skill authoring, prompt architecture, API integration, and schema compliance.
  • Ensure Evaluation-Driven Development practices including benchmarking, LLM-as-a-Judge scoring, trajectory trace analysis, and CI/CD quality gates are applied before production.
  • Own escalation paths for production telemetry and drift analysis, managing failures and regressions through triage and feedback cycles.
  • Serve as primary contact for business-unit leaders and senior consultants regarding skill coverage, prioritization, and enablement, translating business needs into engineering commitments.
  • Recruit, develop, and retain technical leads and senior engineers, providing clear career growth paths from IC roles to leadership.

Perks and Benefits

  • Competitive base pay range (€110,400 EUR - €165,600 EUR) with potential eligibility for bonus plans and stock grants.
  • Flexible work approach combining remote and in-person time, requiring at least 50% presence in office or field quarterly.
  • Supportive culture rooted in integrity, empathy, and collaboration with emphasis on personal growth and meaningful work.
