AI Product Engineering Lead
San Francisco
Hex Technologies
Hex is a modern data platform for data science and analytics. Collaborative data notebooks, stunning data apps, magical AI-assist, and enterprise-grade security.About the role
Large language models are unlocking new possibilities for software of all kinds – including data analytics. At Hex, we were early to incorporate powerful AI features into our product, unlocking LLM-powered workflows for thousands of users.
We’re looking for an exceptional engineering leader to level up the execution of our AI team across the stack – from partnering with research to identify the most important experiments to architecting scalable backends to shipping delightful features. This person must successfully align a team of world-class subject matter experts and drive them toward success around a unified outcome that accelerates Hex’s product strategy over the next several years.
On any given day you might find yourself:
- Leading the team to deliver an industry-leading AI-assisted experience for data analytics workflows.
- Developing and executing on a technical strategy for optimizing current technology in partnership with SMEs (e.g. using multiple models or deploying to different architectures) and for quickly incorporating new advancements as they arise.
- Cultivating a high-output, high-vision team culture on one of the most important teams at the company.
- Engaging with the AI community to maintain and extend Hex’s thought leadership and marketing presence.
- Working with EPD leadership to develop future phases of AI product strategy within Hex.
This is a full-time role based out of either our San Francisco office. Employees are encouraged to come into the office at least twice a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being our main in-person days.
About you!
- At least 8+ years of engineering experience, with at least 4+ in a management capacity
- Strong focus on execution, with a track record of shipping complex, full-stack projects with multiple stakeholders within the context of a top-tier EPD organization.
- Technical chops and desire to go deep with LLM and related technology – must be able to appropriately “nerd out,” not just in the weeds of the implementation but also in envisioning the possibilities of the future.
- Strong product intuitions, particularly about users, workflows and prioritization.
- Background working with research projects and understanding how to evaluate and measure their success.
- Must be hands-on, e.g. reading RFCs or giving feedback on the designs, joining customer calls, and using the product frequently.
- Clear, proactive communication, particularly with less technical stakeholders. This includes not just what is being built but when and why.
- Inspiring and compassionate people management to lead the team to great achievements while helping them navigate the stress of working with cutting-edge technology in a rapidly changing environment.
- Talent magnet: experience hiring incredible individuals with the connections in the industry to attract & sell that talent on Hex.
- Familiarity with modern data technologies and the trends within the industry.
