About the job
An AI transformation firm that combines consulting, a venture studio and private equity activity is hiring senior engineers for its studio arm. Each new studio company begins with a handful of engineers who convert an idea that has passed early validation into something customers genuinely use, and this role is one of those seats.
What you’ll own
Designing and shipping complete AI products built around autonomous agents, including their toolsets, connectors, search layers, coordination logic and user interfaces
Guiding a new company’s initial product from concept to release: strip it back to the smallest version that shows value, then make it robust
Embedding testing into everyday development with reference datasets, automated checks that block regressions, and live quality monitoring
Production-grade reliability, with observability and incidents turned into tests and monitoring
Reusable building blocks extracted from each project so later ventures start further ahead
Contributing as a lead builder on one of the studio companies by about six months in
About you
Four to ten years in software engineering, launching end-to-end AI systems to production
Evidence of zero-to-one building: founder, founding engineer or products shipped to many users
Full stack systems shipped and operated after launch, with a real post-launch story
Production experience with agents, retrieval, orchestration, tool integrations and evaluation harnesses
A STEM degree, with Python as the main language
Commercial instinct and comfort presenting to non-technical stakeholders and design partners
Low ego, high initiative and the habit of acting on ambiguity
Not a fit: researchers, model-training or MLOps profiles, and recent contractors
Hybrid in New York, NY or Chicago. Visa transfers considered.
