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 Head of Engineering who can drive engineering execution, structure engineering workstreams, and help build a high-performing engineering team.This role focuses on turning product and technical direction into reliable delivery, and ensures the team ships effectively and consistently. A strong technical foundation in system architecture is a must.The role involves helping manage engineering workstreams, supporting technical decisions, and leading engineering hiring across the globe.What You'll DoEngineering ExecutionHelp structure engineering workstreams and ensure projects move forward efficientlyIdentify risks, unblock engineers, and maintain steady development velocityEnsure high engineering standards while keeping teams focused on shippingTranslate product direction and technical strategy into clear engineering executionTechnical GuidanceContribute to key architecture discussions and technical decisionsSupport engineers in evaluating system design choices and implementation trade-offsEnsure systems are implemented in a scalable and maintainable wayTeam Building and RecruitingBuild and scale a strong engineering team across China, US and Europe.Recruit high-quality engineers and help maintain a strong hiring barEstablish structured hiring processes and interview standardsCross-Team CoordinationWork closely with product, research, and leadership teamsEnsure alignment across different engineering efforts and locationsHelp resolve technical and organisational bottlenecksWhat You'll NeedStrong technical background in software engineering and system architectureExperience managing or leading engineering teamsAbility to structure engineering work and maintain development velocityStrong judgment in technical decision-makingComfortable operating in early-stage environmentsClear communication and ability to work across teamsHow 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 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.
