Job Description

The Role:

Company is hiring a hands-on Director of Engineering who codes, architects systems, and builds teams. You’ll set the technical foundation, drive engineering excellence, and own the architecture of our AI, 3D, and XR platform.

This is not a pure management role - expect to spend 50–60% of your time writing code, solving deep technical problems, and owning mission-critical systems. As we scale, this role transitions into CTO, taking full ownership of technical vision and long-term strategy. 

What You’ll Own:

1. Technical Leadership & Architecture

● Architect company’s full-stack platform across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI.

● Scale core systems: VersaAI engine, rendering pipeline, AR deployment, analytics.

● Make decisions on stack, scalability patterns, architecture, and technical debt.

● Own design for high-performance 3D asset processing, real-time rendering, and ML deployment.

● Lead architectural discussions, design reviews, and set engineering standards.

2. Hands-On Development

● Write production-grade code across frontend, backend, APIs, and cloud infra.

● Build critical features and core system components independently.

● Debug complex systems and optimize performance end-to-end.

● Implement and optimize AI/ML pipelines for 3D generation, CV, and recognition.

● Build scalable backend services for large-scale asset processing and real-time pipelines.

● Develop WebGL/Three.js rendering and AR workflows.

3. Team Building & Engineering Management

● Hire and grow a team of 5–8 engineers initially (scaling to 15–20).

● Establish engineering culture, values, and best practices.

● Build career frameworks, performance systems, and growth plans.

● Conduct 1:1s, mentor engineers, and drive continuous improvement.

● Set up processes for agile execution, deployments, and incident response.

4. Product & Cross-Functional Collaboration

● Work with the founder and product team on roadmap, feasibility, and prioritization.

● Translate product requirements into technical execution plans.

● Collaborate with design for UX quality and technical alignment.

● Support sales and customer success with integrations and technical discussions.

● Contribute technical inputs to product strategy and customer-facing initiatives.

5. Engineering Operations & Infrastructure

● Own CI/CD, testing frameworks, deployments, and automation.

● Create monitoring, logging, and alerting setups for reliability.

● Manage AWS infrastructure with a focus on cost and performance.

● Build internal tools, documentation, and developer workflows.

● Ensure enterprise-grade security, compliance, and reliability.

Tech Stack:

1. Frontend

React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, WebGL, Three.js

2. Backend

Node.js, Python, Express/FastAPI, REST, GraphQL

3. AI/ML

PyTorch, TensorFlow, CV models, Stable Diffusion, LLMs, ML pipelines

4. 3D & Graphics

Three.js, WebGL, Babylon.js, glTF, USDZ, rendering optimization

5. Databases

PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, vector databases

6. Cloud & Infra

AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, SageMaker), Docker, Kubernetes CI/CD: GitHub Actions

Monitoring: Datadog, Sentry

What We’re Looking For:

1. Must-Haves

● 9+ years of engineering experience, with 3–4 years in technical leadership.

● Deep full-stack experience with strong system design fundamentals.

● Proven success building products from 0→1 in fast-paced environments.

● Hands-on expertise with React/Next.js, Node.js/Python, and AWS.

● Ability to design scalable architectures for high-performance systems.

● Strong people leadership with experience hiring and mentoring teams.

● Ready to code, review, design, and lead from the front.

● Startup mindset: fast execution, problem-solving, ownership.

2. Highly Desirable

● AI/ML deployment experience (CV, generative AI, 3D reconstruction).

● Strong 3D graphics/WebGL/Three.js knowledge.

● Experience with real-time systems, rendering optimizations, or large-scale pipelines.

● Background in B2B SaaS, XR, gaming, or immersive tech.

● Experience scaling engineering teams from 5 → 20+.

● Open-source contributions or technical content creation.

● Experience working closely with founders or executive leadership.

Why Company:

● Hard, meaningful engineering problems at the intersection of AI, 3D, XR, and web tech.

● Build from day zero – architecture, team, and culture.

● Path to CTO as the company scales.

● High autonomy to drive technical decisions.

● Direct founder collaboration on product vision.

● High ownership, high-growth environment.
