Technical Lead

We are looking for someone to join our company and push the frontiers of enterprise AI further.

This is not going to be just another software engineering job. We will need you to be flexible with your job scope, which includes nurturing younger software developers, strategising together with the management on the product and go-to-market, maintaining the coding standards, and then some.

As we are pushing the frontiers, the direction and execution clarity are often vague, iterative, and less structured. If you thrive in a place where autonomy given is high, and are able to translate broad visions to concrete steps, this is for you.
