About Us

Elevation AI is looking for a seasoned Technical Manager to lead and scale our Solutions team: the team responsible for building AI-powered applications and agents for both internal stakeholders and external clients.

This is a hybrid role that requires both technical depth and people leadership: you will be hands-on enough to architect and review agent-based systems, while simultaneously managing a growing team, driving delivery, recruiting top talent, and ensuring engineering excellence.

You will be the connective tissue between Elevation AI’s engineering ambitions and its client commitments, setting standards, building a high-performance team, and leading from the front in one of the most exciting areas of applied AI. 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, mentor, and scale a team of AI/solutions engineers while driving a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and high performance.
  • Own architecture decisions across multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, and production deployments.
  • Drive delivery for internal and client-facing AI agent projects.
  • Establish engineering standards — observability, reusability, modularity as first principles.
  • Serve as the technical point of contact for clients, translating engineering into business outcomes.
  • Partner with product, client success, and leadership to shape what gets built and how.
  • Maintain hands-on fluency on the team’s tech stack, including contributions to architecture, code reviews, and design decisions.

What We’re Looking For

  • 6–10 years in software engineering with significant depth in AI/ML and agent-based systems.
  • Track record of leading or managing engineering teams through growth and delivery.
  • Hands-on with orchestration frameworks — LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, or similar.
  • Strong Python proficiency and modern dev workflows (GitHub, CI/CD).
  • Deep working knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, and vector databases.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity for your team.

Ways to Stand Out

  • Obsessively current on the AI tooling landscape — not just reading about new models or frameworks but actively testing, benchmarking, and forming opinions on what’s worthy.
  • Experience scaling AI/engineering teams in a startup or high-growth environment.
  • Prior exposure to client-facing or solutions engineering contexts.
  • Applied work with multi-agent systems or autonomous frameworks.
  • Open-source contributions in the agentic AI ecosystem.
  • Knowledge of safe AI practices — alignment, hallucination control, red-teaming.

Why Elevation AI

  • A leadership role at the intersection of AI innovation and enterprise delivery.
  • Direct line to the CTO with high visibility and strategic influence.
  • Build and shape a team from the ground up.
  • Startup culture that values experimentation, accountability, and impact.

If this sounds like you, apply directly.
