Required AI Engineering Team Lead - Applied AI Engineering Group
Tel Aviv Full-time
The Dream Job
It starts with you - a technical leader driven to build both the agentic AI platform and the engineering team behind it. You care about backend quality, platform reliability, and growing engineers through real ownership. We are AI-first across the board - every team builds and operates agents. You'll set the technical direction for the platform that makes this possible: agent orchestration frameworks, LLM gateways, evaluation infrastructure, tool-calling systems, and retrieval pipelines. Without this platform, agents don't ship - you own the layer that turns AI research into Sovereign AI products, deployed across cloud and on-prem environments. You stay close enough to the codebase to debug production incidents, unblock your engineers, and make sound architecture calls.
If you want to make a meaningful impact, join our mission and lead the team that builds the agentic AI platform driving Sovereign AI products - this role is for you.
The Dream-Maker Responsibilities
Architect and evolve the AI platform - agent orchestration, LLM gateways, context engineering pipelines, evaluation infrastructure, tool-calling systems, and retrieval pipelines - through RFCs, prototypes, and design reviews.
Lead and grow a small team of AI Engineers building the agent framework, production backend services, and AI platform infrastructure - hire, mentor, pair on hard problems, and raise the bar through hands-on code and design reviews.
Contribute to critical systems, debug production incidents, and maintain enough codebase context to make sound technical calls.
Own reliability across AI and agent services - set and enforce SLAs, build observability for non-deterministic systems, and harden tool execution environments for cost and security.
Set the standard for AI engineering practices - agent testing strategies, evaluation frameworks with human-in-the-loop oversight, retrieval quality benchmarks, and CI/CD for AI systems.
Work closely with ML Platform, Data Platform, DevOps, Data Science, and Product teams across the Applied AI Engineering group - ensure the AI platform evolves to serve teams building agentic workflows across the organization.
Measure and improve developer experience - deploy friction, onboarding time, CI turnaround - as seriously as system performance.
