San Francisco | Onsite | Permanent or Interim (3-6 months) | Immediate Start | $200k EQUITY

About the Company

Dynamism is partnering with a fast-growing AdTech startup that is redefining the digital advertising industry with AI-powered automation . The company’s platform leverages multi-agent AI systems to autonomously optimize and manage ad campaigns across Google, Facebook, and other digital channels—without human intervention .

With strong market traction and backing from an elite accelerator program, this startup is experiencing hypergrowth and looking for an experienced engineering leader to drive innovation, scale AI-driven automation, and build world-class engineering teams.

The Opportunity

This role offers the flexibility to join full-time as Head of Engineering or engage as an interim Technical Lead (3-6 months), taking on Engineering leadership responsibilities to allow the Technical Founder / CEO to focus on Enterprise Sales . It is ideal for a hands-on leader with deep technical expertise in AI-driven systems, full-stack engineering, and cloud scalability—as well as proven experience leading and scaling engineering teams in fast-paced environments.

You will oversee multi-agent AI architectures, where AI copilots interact, decide, and execute ad campaigns autonomously. The challenge goes beyond standard full-stack development—this is about building and scaling AI automation at an industry-changing level.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and scale a high-impact engineering team, mentoring engineers and establishing best practices in AI-driven automation.
  • Architect and build a next-gen AI-powered ad automation system where autonomous agents manage budgets, optimize campaigns, and generate creatives.

  • Design and implement AI-integrated APIs that power real-time decision-making in multi-agent AI workflows.
  • Leverage AI tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Tabnine to accelerate development cycles.
  • Optimize cloud infrastructure with AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and serverless architectures.
  • Push AI boundaries—integrate and fine-tune GPT models, reinforcement learning techniques, and LLM-powered agents.

What You Bring

  • 10 years of engineering experience, with 5 years leading and scaling teams as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, or Engineering Manager.
  • Proven track record of mentoring engineers, growing teams, and setting technical strategy in AI-driven or automation-focused environments.
  • Strong backend expertise in Python Flask, FastAPI, and Node.js, with experience designing scalable microservices.
  • Frontend experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript for building AI-powered user interfaces.
  • Cloud & DevOps proficiency : AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, serverless architectures.
  • Deep experience with AI automation—whether multi-agent systems (LangChain, CrewAI, Auto-GPT, BabyAGI) or LLM-powered applications.
  • Hands-on experience scaling distributed systems using Kafka, Ray, PyTorch, Spark, Flink, or Airflow.
  • Founder mindset—someone who has built and launched AI products from 0 to 1.
  • Bonus Points

  • Expertise in multi-agent AI architectures and AI workflow automation .
  • Experience with AI copilot development and AI-augmented coding practices .
  • Strong background in performance engineering and large-scale AI system optimization .
  • Active involvement in AI and open-source communities (Hacker News, LangChain, GitHub, Discord).
  • Why Join?

  • Competitive Salary : $200K base equity options.
  • Leadership Role : Lead and scale a high-caliber AI engineering team.
  • Flexible Engagement : Join full-time or as an interim technical lead (3-6 months).
