Full Job Description
Overview:

We are hiring a Decision Engineering Team Lead for the Business Operations team. You'll lead a small team of Decision Engineers (AI Software Engineers) building AI-powered tools and decision systems that make business operations workflows significantly more productive, while still shipping hands-on. You'll set technical direction, own the team's delivery bar, grow engineers, and partner with leadership to pick the highest-impact AI augmentation bets.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead a small team of Decision Engineers, setting technical direction and owning the bar for what ships
  • Still build hands-on: personally ship the highest-leverage AI tools and agents for business operations workflows
  • Own the team's delivery: identify the highest-impact AI augmentation opportunities across business operations workflows and turn them into shipped tools with measurable productivity gains
  • Design and maintain shared AI infrastructure including AGENTS.md and SKILLS.md, and shared skills the wider organization builds on
  • Grow the engineers on your team through review, direction, and hiring
  • Partner with team and functional leadership to translate their goals into an AI tooling roadmap
Requirements:
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience including leading engineers or owning technical direction for a team
  • Production-grade code in Go, Python, and TypeScript (and the ability to work in an arbitrary language, primarily driving AI coding tools)
  • Strong full-stack development skills building web applications (React, Next.js, or similar frameworks)
  • Hands-on experience building applications with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-weight models), creating and using MCP servers, and agentic frameworks
  • Deep understanding of AI coding agent tools including Claude Code and Cursor, and the agent frameworks around them
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and get a team (and their agents) to ship results with minimal direction and high impact
  • Great product and design taste, and the judgment to balance rapid iteration with maintainable foundations others build on
  • Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and drive adoption
  • Nice to have: exposure to business operations, finance, or strategy-and-operations workflows, or to leading teams building internal operational tooling


Benefits:
  • Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement plan
  • Generous PTO policy


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
