About The Role

We’re a stealth-mode startup backed by Team8 and founded by AI industry leaders.

We are building the full-lifecycle trust platform for AI agents - delivering world-class evaluation, guardrails, synthetic data, and continuous optimization. Our mission is to make agent reliability as systematic, predictable, and iterative as modern CI/CD engineering. We’re at the forefront of a new engineering discipline, and we're building an exceptional team to match.

As our Team Lead, you will lead a multidisciplinary group of high-impact Backend and frontend engineers while remaining deeply hands-on. You will drive execution, quality, and architectural decision-making across core systems that power agent evaluation, reliability, and real-world performance at scale. This role blends technical leadership, people management, and product thinking - all in a rapidly evolving environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the engineering team creating the infrastructure that powers agent evaluation and reliability.
• Own execution across sprints, product milestones, and cross-team initiatives.
• Guide technical design, architecture, and long-term roadmap for mission-critical components.
• Collaborate with customers, product, and AI research teams to turn complex requirements into elegant, reliable systems.
• Establish engineering best practices, drive code quality, and foster a culture of ownership, clarity, and technical excellence.
• Mentor engineers, support their growth, and ensure high-trust, productive team dynamics.
  
  

Requirements:

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience with experience in TypeScript, Python, cloud-native development, and data processing at scale.
• 3+ years leading engineering teams of 3+ engineers, with a track record of delivering complex projects end-to-end.
• Proven experience with execution management, agile delivery, cross-functional collaboration, and customer communication.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, leadership maturity, and the ability to maintain high performance in a fast, iterative startup environment.
• Experience building and operating production-grade distributed systems or high-scale microservices.
  
  

Advantage

• Proficiency with Kubernetes (K8s), Go, or Rust.
• Experience in AI-driven products, LLM/agent tooling, or reliability/observability platforms.
• Prior exposure to security, compliance, or enterprise-grade cloud environments.
• Passion for developer experience, technical architecture, and building products that empower engineers and AI teams.
