Remote, United States

Our take: The real work here is leading three distributed engineering teams to make AI agents run safely at scale, while coaching engineers through ambiguity and staying close to the technical design.

This is a management role for someone who loves growing engineers and shaping how AI agents run safely at scale. You will lead three teams across frontend, backend, and AI engineering, each anchored by a staff engineer, and you will still contribute real technical judgment to design reviews on sandboxing and observability. If you get energy from coaching people through genuine ambiguity while helping a consequential group ship, this is where that work lives.
