Founding Engineer

Key responsibilities: Lead technical decisions and architecture choices for platform features as a tech lead. Own significant product components end to end, from initial build through production deployment, billing, and compliance. Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure and microservices that support real user sign-in and enterprise requirements. Experiment with and integrate new AI models and tools into production systems. Anticipate and address scalability, reliability, maintenance, and regulatory concerns before they become problems. Collaborate closely with product leadership on day-to-day technical direction in a distributed team.

Nice to haves: GPU or high-performance machine at home for running models. Experience deploying products on-premise or in air-gapped environments. Computer vision background. Prior engineering management experience. Tech-lead work specifically on AI products. About the product: Ultralytics builds a SaaS platform and open-source tools (including YOLO models) that enable developers and companies to use computer vision and AI. The platform serves both mass-market users and enterprise clients who require air-gapped, on-premise deployments with strict compliance and support needs.

Why join: This is an opportunity to help shape a new product team from the ground up in the recently opened New York office, working directly with the management team. The search explicitly seeks engineers who want greater ownership and the ability to influence architecture and product direction in ways the prior team did not.
