Position Summary & Responsibilities

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Principal AI Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership across complex, production-grade AI systems. This role is for a builder-architect—someone who has repeatedly taken AI systems from idea to production, understands where they fail at scale, and knows how to unblock teams to move faster without sacrificing outcomes.

This is not a pure strategy or people-management role. It is a deeply technical builder role with organizational impact. You will define technical direction by writing code, designing systems, and helping the organization stay in builder mode as complexity and scale increase.

Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights

Key Role Focus:

Evaluating venture capital pattern-matching ability, early-stage thesis conviction, and proactive founder-network building.

2. Superficial understanding of early-stage unit economics and cap table dynamics
3. Arrogance or dismissing founders during pitch evaluation roleplays

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I partner with outlier early-stage founders by combining rigorous technical due diligence with aggressive, hands-on GTM acceleration.
