The OpportunityAs a Strategic Project Lead on the coding track, you will own client engagements end to end, partnering directly with researchers at top AI labs to scope, build, and deliver high-quality code-generation datasets. You will be the connective tissue across platform engineering, expert sourcing, and a network of technical domain experts, while keeping a pulse on the frontier to proactively shape what gets built next.
This is a high-agency, high-ownership role on a small, ambitious team, with a clear path to growing into pod leadership as the company scales.

- Proactively identify high-value datasets by tracking industry news and research.
Requirements- 3+ years of experience, with the ability to own client relationships independently end to end.
- A technical background (software engineering or computer science), given the code-generation focus of this track.
- Alternatively, a strong entrepreneurial or founder track record, top-tier banking or consulting experience, or an early-stage startup operator background.
- High agency and a strong bias to action under ambiguity.
- Fast learner who can keep pace with a rapidly evolving field.
- Strong work ethic and stamina for a demanding, project-based environment.
