We are looking for a Technical Leader to lead the technical evolution of this group as we transition toward Native AI and Agentic architectures across both product and engineering. This role reports directly to the VP of Engineering and will play a critical role in shaping how AI-first and agent-driven systems are embedded into core event pipeline.
Youll combine deep technical leadership, hands-on architecture work, and strong cross-functional influence to guide the team through this transformation - while maintaining the performance, reliability, and scale our customers depend on.
What You Will Do
Lead the technical direction of the Event Management group, owning architecture and long-term evolution
Drive the transition of core event processing systems toward Native AI and Agentic solutions, including AI-driven enrichment, correlation, decision-making, and automation
Partner closely with Product, Data, and AI teams to translate product vision into scalable, production-ready systems
Design and review high-scale, high-throughput backend systems handling millions of daily events
Mentor and grow engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and pragmatic innovation
Act as a technical thought partner to engineering leadership, contributing to org-wide architectural decisions
Balance innovation with operational rigor, ensuring reliability, performance, and security throughout the transition
Contribute to a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement
Requirements: 5+ years of experience building and leading backend systems in production environments
Proven experience as a Tech Lead, Principal Engineer, or equivalent technical leadership role
Strong background in designing distributed, high-scale, low-latency systems
Experience introducing or scaling AI-powered systems in real-world products (ML, LLMs, agents, or decision systems)
Solid understanding of event-driven architectures, data pipelines, and cloud-native systems
Ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple teams and stakeholders
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence at both engineering and executive levels
A pragmatic mindset, excited about AI, but grounded in delivering customer value and operational excellence
This position is open to all candidates.
