Job Description
Tech Lead at Hercules developing AI-driven solutions for finance and operations leaders. Leading a high-performing engineering team and integrating AI capabilities into production systems.
Responsibilities:
- Partner with Product and stakeholders to understand workflows, needs, and problem spaces
- Translate ambiguous requirements into clear technical plans and system designs
- Validate solutions through real usage and feedback loops, not just specs
- Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
- Ensure engineering work is always anchored to customer value and business outcomes
- Design and evolve system architecture for scalable, reliable platforms
- Contribute directly to core systems across the full stack: frontend, backend, and infrastructure
- Own key technical decisions and guide architectural direction
- Drive best practices across CI/CD, testing, observability, and release processes
- Deliver outcomes end-to-end, from design through production
- Build and integrate AI-powered capabilities into production systems
- Tune model behavior, evaluate outputs, and iterate toward reliable results
- Design and optimize inference pipelines with attention to latency, cost, and reliability
- Apply LLM capabilities (tool-use, prompt design, evaluation) to solve real problems, not research
- Lead and develop engineers through coaching, feedback, and growth support
- Practice servant leadership: remove blockers, enable success, set the standard through your own work
- Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
Requirements:
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong production ownership
- Proven track record as a Tech Lead or senior engineer who drives both systems and teams
- Strong product instinct with the ability to connect technical decisions to customer value
- Full-stack capability with depth in Python and backend systems
- Practical experience with AI/LLM-powered systems in production, or strong ability to ramp quickly
- Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience coaching and developing engineers
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
