The posting

About us

We are Valis - a company building an institutional AI operating layer for mid-market companies: shared company memory, workflow mining and agentic automation.

Why this role exists

We are hiring a CTO-level engineering leader. We need a strong person, able to own a major part of the technology from architecture through production, build their own team, and speak with clients at C-suite level.

What you will do

Platform architecture and engineering

- Own the architecture of the org brain and personal brain: data ingestion, knowledge storage, retrieval, agents, and integrations with Claude and other LLMs.

- Write code yourself where it matters most. This is a hands-on role, not only a management one.

- Design access control so each user sees only data from their own area. You will also own data retention and deletion, GDPR compliance, and multi-tenancy.

- Build MCP servers and connectors to company systems (Slack, Google Workspace, Asana, HRIS, DWH, ERP), and bring them to the point where clients can use them self-service.

Deployments

- Lead complex technical conversations

- Own the technical side of deployments

- Turn what works for one client into a product, so the same custom work is not repeated.

- Be the final technical escalation point for your area.

Infrastructure, data and cost

- Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP, Cloudflare), CI/CD, observability and security.

- The data stack: data warehouse (Redshift, MotherDuck/DuckDB), ETL, and large-scale migrations.

- Platform costs: token and inference spend, subscriptions, and vendor negotiations.

Team

- Hire people, develop them, and let them go when needed. Hire people stronger than yourself.

- Build an engineering culture where the team owns outcomes and needs little day-to-day management.

- Use AI agents such as Claude Code as your main working tool, and make them the team's main tool too, not an experiment.

Requirements

Must have

- 10+ years in software engineering, including 4+ years as CTO, VP Engineering, Head of Engineering, or Principal/Staff Engineer at a product company or a strong startup.

- A track record of building systems from zero to production with real users and real load. You must have built them yourself, not only led the teams that did.

- Deep hands-on experience running LLMs in production: agents, RAG, tool use and MCP, evals, and cost control. We are looking for real deployments, not pilots.

- Strong backend architecture and data engineering: distributed systems, integrations, data stores, security and access control.

- Experience managing an engineering team, including hiring and firing.

- The ability to explain a technical decision to a client's non-technical executives and win their support for it.

- Fluent English.

Nice to have

- Good working knowledge of RU language

- Experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise deployments, or forward-deployed engineering

- Experience with company data: HRIS, ERP, finance, organisational structure.

- A strong personal AI productivity setup.

Benefits

We offer competitive base, performance-based bonus, and the opportunity to join the team during fast growth.

Why it works

3×

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.
