Tech Lead – Python with AI-Native Engineering

Overview

We are looking for experienced, Tech Lead–level engineers who can operate at the intersection of strong software engineering fundamentals and AI-native development practices. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments and are comfortable leveraging AI to accelerate and transform the software development lifecycle.

You will play a critical role in anchoring early-stage delivery, defining engineering standards, and scaling AI-native capabilities across teams using a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) approach.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

Lead end-to-end delivery of products using AI-native and SDD-based development models

Translate product requirements into structured specifications that drive automated and AI-assisted implementation

Establish and evangelize engineering best practices, including spec-driven workflows, automation-first design, and AI-assisted coding

Act as a multiplier for team productivity by introducing scalable development patterns and tooling

Drive rapid iteration cycles while maintaining high quality and system reliability

Mentor engineers in adopting AI-assisted development workflows and modern engineering practices

Collaborate closely with product, design, and business stakeholders in high-ambiguity environments

Required Experience & Skills:

8+ years of strong software engineering experience, with recent exposure to Tech Lead or equivalent responsibilities

Hands-on experience working in AI-native development environments (e.g., using AI copilots, code generation, or LLM-powered workflows)

Proven ability to work with Spec-Driven Development (SDD) or structured execution models

Deep understanding of system design, architecture, and scalable engineering practices

Experience in automation-first engineering, including CI/CD, testing, and workflow automation

Demonstrated ability to operate in fast-paced, startup-like environments with high ownership

Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to balance speed and quality

Strong expertise in Python, backend development, APIs, automation, and scalable architectures, with hands-on experience in modern frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, and Flask.

Preferred Background:

Experience in AI-native startups or innovation-driven teams

Exposure to:

AI-assisted coding tools and frameworks

Prompt engineering and LLM integration in development workflows

Rapid prototyping and iteration models

Track record of building or scaling engineering practices from the ground up
