We are looking for someone who lives and breathes the AI tooling space. You are likely a recognized figure in the community, perhaps coming from a background in AI-first development tools or high-scale technical leadership.
Hard Skills & Experience
-
Deep Technical Fluency: You are respected by senior engineers. You understand the nuances of LLMs, prompt engineering, and the current AI dev-tool landscape.
-
Operational Excellence: Experience managing large-scale organizational change or "Agile-style" transformations.
Soft Skills & "The SWAT Mentality"
-
Brutality in Execution: You prioritize results over consensus. You have the maturity and "no-mercy" attitude required to change how 500 people work in a very short timeframe.
-
High-Stakes Leadership: You are more of an "Executor" than a "Coach." You can delegate effectively and hold teams accountable to rigorous new standards.
-
Visionary yet Grounded: You can talk about the future of AI without losing sight of today’s margins and delivery deadlines.
Why This Role?
You will have the mandate to reshape the DNA of a major software house, with the full backing of the Board and the CTO. If you are looking to prove that AI can fundamentally change the economics of software delivery, this is your platform. Note on strategy: we are no longer hiring anyone without AI skills. You will be the one ensuring that this rule is the foundation of our future growth.
This role is NOT for you if:
-
You are looking for a traditional management position focused on administrative tasks and people operations.
-
You prefer theoretical AI strategy over hands-on experimentation with tools like Cursor, Copilot, or Gemini.
-
You wait for a defined roadmap instead of proactively identifying and solving engineering bottlenecks.
-
You are uncomfortable with a high-speed pivot where results are measured by real delivery acceleration.
