Salt have partnered with one of the hottest high-growth, venture-backed tech companies out of the US that are building a next-generation of platform powering advanced AI and simulation workflows used by global engineering teams.

This is a mission-critical leadership hire where you’ll take ownership of a core platform team at the heart of the product, helping scale both the technology and the people behind it.

The Role

You’ll lead a team building a high-performance, distributed platform that underpins complex, data-intensive AI applications.

This is not a “process-only” EM role, it’s for someone who can operate in ambiguity, build from zero, and scale systems & teams simultaneously.

What you'll be doing?

• Lead, grow, and mentor a team of high-calibre engineers
• Own delivery, roadmap, and platform reliability
• Partner closely with product and other engineering teams
• Build scalable systems, processes, and engineering standards from the ground up
• Drive a strong engineering culture focused on ownership and impact

What they're looking for?

• Strong engineering background (ideally Python / backend / distributed systems)
• Experience leading or building engineering teams in startup or scale-up environments
• Track record working on data-intensive or high-scale systems
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP), Kubernetes, or similar
• Understanding of ML/AI systems in production is a strong plus
• You’re a builder, not just a manager
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and pace
• You can balance short-term delivery with long-term platform thinking

This is a perfect tole for a first or second-time Engineering Manager or someone stepping out of big tech who wants more ownership and impact! xwzovoh
