Job Description

Technical Lead, Applications, Artificial Intelligence – AI

Next Step Systems - National IT Recruiting Firm

• Own the application engineering strategy and execution across backend, mobile, and desktop. • Lead and grow a small, senior applications team, including backend, mobile, and desktop engineers. • Ensure production-grade reliability: observability, monitoring, retries, fallbacks, and failure handling. • Set the architectural direction for AI-powered product workflows, APIs, and client integrations. • Ensure AI capabilities are integrated into the product with clear abstractions, predictable behavior, and graceful failure modes. • Partner closely with Machine Learning (ML) leadership to translate model capability into shippable product features. • Make high-impact decisions across latency, cost, reliability, security, and user experience. • Establish a strong execution culture through code reviews, design reviews, and hands-on technical leadership. • Ensure production readiness: observability, monitoring, retries, fallbacks, privacy, and cost controls. • Balance speed and discipline, shipping quickly without compromising long-term system quality.

Job Requirements

  • Significant experience leading application or product engineering for complex systems.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) experience required.
  • Strong hands-on background building and shipping backend systems used in production.
  • Experience delivering Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered products, with a deep understanding of model integration trade-offs.
  • Excellent system design skills across services, APIs, clients, and data flows.
  • Comfort operating across platforms (backend, mobile, desktop), even if your depth is in one.
  • Proven ability to make high-impact technical decisions under ambiguity.
  • A strong bias toward shipping, iteration, and learning from real-world usage.
  • Move fast without breaking fundamentals.
