About the Role

Lead a team of engineers building a new generation of AI-powered products, including conversational interfaces, autonomous research agents, and data-to-action tools. You will set technical direction, own architecture, and mentor engineers while remaining hands-on in coding. Partner with political researchers, data scientists, and product stakeholders to define and build these systems, ensuring readiness before peak pressure.

Responsibilities

Lead a team of engineers building end-to-end products where agents and humans work together, from early prototypes through production.
Own the technical direction and architecture for LLM-powered systems: agents, retrieval, evaluation, and the infrastructure that keeps them reliable and fast.
Stay hands-on: write production code, review designs and pull requests, and unblock the team on the hardest problems.
Set the engineering bar for the team, including code quality, testing, observability, and how we evaluate AI output.
Establish how the team uses AI tools and coding agents to move fast without compromising quality.
Work closely with political researchers, data scientists, and other engineers to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans and simple, usable software.
Mentor and grow engineers through feedback, pairing, and code review, and help hire the people who will join the team.
Plan and sequence work across the cycle so systems are ready before pressure peaks, and make tradeoff calls when deadlines are tight.
Dive into political strategy to build systems that encode a deep understanding of user goals and thought processes.

Requirements

8+ years of experience as a software engineer.
2+ years as a tech lead or engineering lead.
Track record of shipped products.
Hands-on experience building products on top of LLMs.
Strong product instincts.
Ability to make engineers around them better through mentorship, thoughtful processes, and clear technical writing.
Energized by ambiguous problems and can turn them into a plan a team can execute.
Motivated by Blue Rose Research's mission and interested in learning the progressive political ecosystem.
Candidates must be authorized to work lawfully in the United States.
