AI Tech Lead

Cross-Team Technical Coordination

• Serving as Scrum Master and Delivery Lead for both AI teams: organizing and facilitating sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog grooming, and retrospectives.

• Shielding both teams from day-to-day integration distractions by ensuring the junior development team receives clean task definitions, structured schemas, and clearly scoped technical requirements.

• Balancing high-speed AI prototyping demands against the structured pipeline stabilization cycles required for enterprise-grade development.

• Managing cross-team dependency and interface mapping to ensure smooth collaboration between the senior and junior engineering layers.

Architecture Translation & Gateway

• Translating strict architectural guardrails — network isolation, database connection limits, cost-containment — from the System Architects into practical workflows for the engineering teams.

• Partnering with Loftware Architects to ensure teams safely leverage AWS services and data read replicas without compromising corporate security boundaries, tenant isolation, or regional compliance.

• Leading technical review sessions to determine the appropriate storage strategy (Amazon MemoryDB / Redis OSS / Valkey vs. pgvector vs. OpenSearch), balancing developer needs against enterprise infrastructure standards.

AI & LLM Systems Quality Control

• Overseeing evaluation frameworks for multi-step agent workflows to ensure deterministic behavior and eliminate unhandled hallucinations.

• Validating that all data ingestion flows and internal tool-calling structures adhere to type-safe validation layers, preventing malformed agent responses from breaking downstream systems or leaking PII.

• Overseeing the centralized repository for system prompts, prompt caching strategies, and Amazon Bedrock configurations to ensure optimal performance, token budgeting, and corporate policy alignment.

Enterprise Deployment & Operational Stability

• Working with internal teams to define and enforce robust CI/CD strategies for AI agents, ensuring that changes to prompts, embeddings, or state-machine routing rules are deployed without service disruption.
• Contributing to operational protocols for deployment failures mid-workflow, ensuring both teams design for idempotency to handle unexpected model degradation or pipeline failures gracefully.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in Software Engineering and/or Technical Leadership
• 3+ years leading AI/ML or high-throughput distributed systems teams
• Proven track record running agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) across multi-tiered or split engineering teams
• Deep hands-on architectural experience with LLMs and enterprise-scale systems
• Experience partnering with System Architects to govern AWS infrastructure usage, security controls, and resource provisioning
• Familiarity with agentic orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AWS Step Functions, or equivalent) at an architectural governance level
• Working knowledge of Amazon Bedrock APIs, Guardrails, and Knowledge Base configurations
• Understanding of vector retrieval strategies (pgvector, Amazon OpenSearch/Elasticsearch) and in-memory data stores (Amazon MemoryDB / Redis OSS / Valkey)
• Experience designing for idempotency and stateful rollback in distributed AI pipelines
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience negotiating architectural and infrastructure decisions on behalf of engineering teams
• Hands-on implementation experience with Vercel AI SDK, LangGraph, or LlamaIndex

Benefits

• Remote work
• 13 floating holiday
• 15 vacation days per year completed
• Good working environment
