The Role

AiDASH is scaling fast — our satellite and AI-powered utility products are set for aggressive customer growth over the next two years, and engineering is at the heart of making it happen. We’re hiring a Head of Engineering, AI Platform to join our engineering leadership team in a newly created role. In this role, you'll build our new Data Inference AI Pipeline team from the ground up to support our rapidly growing customer base.

This is a rare opportunity to build both the team and the system from scratch: you'll shape the architecture, culture, and hiring bar of a new AI team from day one, and own the pipeline that powers our AI products as our customer base grows. In this role, you will report to the VP of Engineering and have real ownership over technical decisions, team design, and engineering practices.

Our pending acquisition by Schneider Electric will accelerate our mission as we bring our combined offering to our joint customer base, and the systems you build will power outcomes at an even greater scale.

Location: Palo Alto, CA (hybrid/2 days per week in the office)

How you'll make an impact:

  • Build the Data Inference AI Pipeline team Define the team's charter, headcount plan, and hiring bar, and make the first several hires, bringing in talent from both within AiDASH and outside Architect a multimodal data inference pipeline that scales with customer growth while keeping compute and infrastructure cost per inference efficient Build the model training and human-in-the-loop (HITL) feedback loops that keep our AI accurate and continuously improving Establish strong engineering practices from day one, including code review, testing, on-call, and release process
  • Lead and grow the team Hire, coach, and develop engineering managers and leads, and manage performance as needed, building a high-performing, high-ownership culture Partner with Product, Data Science, and Design to shape roadmap trade-offs and sequencing Own technical decisions within your team's scope, and partner with the VP of Engineering on cross-org architecture decisions Give the leadership a clear, reliable view of progress, risks, and resourcing needs

What success looks like in your first 6 months:

  • The Data Inference AI Pipeline team is staffed with its first core hires, from within AiDASH and outside, and running on an architecture that scales with growing data volume without a proportional rise in infrastructure cost
  • The team has clear ownership, a steady delivery cadence, and visible engineering practices (code review, on-call, release process) in place
  • Leadership has a clear, reliable read on the team's progress, risks, and resourcing needs

What we're looking for:

Minimum Qualifications

  • 10+ years of overall software engineering experience, including 3-5+ years leading engineering teams (managing managers or senior ICs)
  • A track record of building a team or system from scratch, not just scaling an existing one
  • Hands-on experience architecting data/ML pipelines at scale, with a strong grasp of throughput, latency, and cost-efficiency trade-offs for inference workloads
  • Experience building modern AI systems, including reasoning frameworks, agentic capabilities, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), self-correction loops, and memory and state management, that shipped to production for real customers, not as research or internal proof-of-concept work
  • Strong background in cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS architectures (AWS, Kubernetes, microservices)
  • Proven ability to improve delivery predictability and accelerate onboarding and go-live for enterprise customers
  • Confidence owning technical decisions within a defined scope, while partnering with a VP on strategy and resourcing
  • Experience managing global, distributed engineering teams across multiple time zones
  • High ownership mindset, low ego, and a collaborative spirit, with a passion for building teams that do their best work
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with geospatial data, satellite imagery, or remote-sensing pipelines
  • A background in utilities, energy, or infrastructure
  • Experience hiring and scaling a net-new engineering team in a high-growth (Series B/C) startup environment
  • Open-source contributions, technical certifications, or published engineering writing

What you'll love:

  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage: 100% coverage for employees and 80% for their spouses and children
  • Health Reimbursement Account (HRA): 100% funded by AiDASH to cover medical deductibles
  • 401(k) Plan: Begin contributing after two months of employment to prepare for your future. Currently, no company match is offered
  • Parental Leave: Supportive parental leave with 16 weeks for primary caregivers and 4 weeks for secondary caregivers
  • Generous Vacation Policy: Accrue 20 vacation days per year, plus enjoy an additional flex holiday to celebrate whatever feels most important to you
  • Winter Break: From December 25th through January 1st, we give everyone time off to recharge and enjoy time with family and friends!

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
