Responsibilities
• Lead a team of engineers building end-to-end products where agents and humans work together, from early prototypes through production. • Own the technical direction and architecture for our LLM-powered systems: agents, retrieval, evaluation, and the infrastructure that keeps them reliable and fast. • Stay hands-on: write production code, review designs and pull requests, and unblock the team on the hardest problems. • Set the engineering bar for the team, including code quality, testing, observability, and how we evaluate AI output so people can actually trust it. • Establish how the team uses AI tools and coding agents to move fast without compromising quality, and know when polish matters versus when it doesn't. • Work closely with political researchers, data scientists, and other engineers to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans and simple, usable software. • Mentor and grow engineers through feedback, pairing, and code review, and help hire the people who will join the team. • Plan and sequence work across the cycle so our systems are ready before the pressure peaks, and make the call on tradeoffs when deadlines get tight. • Dive head first into the world of political strategy to build systems that encode a deep understanding of the user's goals and thought processes.
