About the RoleA1 is building a proactive AI chat app for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.
Unlike traditional chat-based applications, our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion.
The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.We are looking for a leader who can think clearly about systems, make strong technical decisions, and help build the engineering organisation from the ground up.Be part of founding team to shape the technical direction of the company, while helping build a strong engineering team across the globe.What You'll DoTechnical DirectionDefine the long-term architecture for A1’s AI systems, infrastructure, and developer platformEvaluate trade-offs between speed of iteration and long-term system designEnsure systems are designed for scalability, reliability, and long-term evolutionGuide key decisions across model integration, data pipelines, distributed systems, and product architectureEngineering LeadershipWork with engineers to translate product direction into clear technical executionHelp structure engineering workstreams and keep teams aligned on prioritiesMaintain high engineering standards while keeping the team focused on shippingEstablish engineering culture, development practices, and technical standards across the companyBuilding the TeamBuild and scale a world-class engineering team across key talent hubs including China and USIdentify strong technical leaders and help build a high-quality engineering organizationDefine hiring standards and interview processes to maintain a high engineering barCoordination and ExecutionWork closely with product, research, and leadership teamsEnsure technical workstreams move forward smoothly across teams and locationsHelp resolve cross-team technical and execution challengesWhat You Will NeedStrong technical foundation in system architecture, large-scale systems, distributed architecture.Ability to reason clearly about complex systems and make pragmatic technical decisionsExperience building or leading high-performing engineering teamsStrong judgment on technical trade-offs and engineering prioritiesComfortable operating in early-stage environments with high ambiguityClear communication and ability to align teamsWe are particularly interested in candidates who enjoy building teams, superior products and shaping engineering organisations.How We WorkThe best products today in the world were built by small, world class teams.
We are a high talent density and hands-on team.
We make decisions collectively, move at rapid speed, striking a balance between shipping high quality work and learning.
Joining our team requires the ability to bring structure, exercise judgment, and execute independently.
Our goal is to put in hands of our users a truly magical productInterview processIf there appears to be a fit, we'll reach out to schedule 3, but no more than 4 interviews.Applications are evaluated by our technical team members.
Interviews will be conducted via virtual meetings and/or onsite.We value transparency and efficiency, so expect a prompt decision.
If you've demonstrated the exceptional skills and mindset we're looking for, the process to offer may be shorter.Originally posted on Himalayas
