Technical Lead Manager, AI at Ironclad | LAYIQ

Experience and leadership
5+ years of experience architecting, building, and operating complex software systems in production.
2+ years of technical leadership or engineering management experience, including mentoring and growing high-performing teams.
A strong track record of shipping ambiguous, zero-to-one or one-to-scale products where product and technical direction evolved quickly.
High agency and strong product instincts; you know when to go deep technically and when to simplify.
Technical depth
Experience building and owning user-facing products end-to-end, including both the UI layer and the backend systems that support it.
Deep backend and distributed systems experience, especially in systems that need to be reliable, observable, secure, and scalable.
Hands-on fluency with modern applied AI systems, including LLM orchestration, retrieval patterns, prompt and workflow design, model evaluation, and production quality controls.
Experience building user-facing AI products where accuracy, explainability, and trust materially affect adoption.
Comfort working across application, platform, and infrastructure layers.
Familiarity with modern web and cloud stacks. Our teams commonly work in TypeScript, React, Node.js, Docker/Kubernetes, and Google Cloud, though direct experience in our exact stack is not required.
Product mindset
You care deeply about building tools users love, not just systems that technically work.
You can translate domain complexity into intuitive product behavior and clear engineering priorities.
You enjoy close collaboration with product managers, designers, researchers, and customer-facing teams to iterate quickly on new capabilities.
You think about the full user journey, from the moment a reviewer opens a contract to the moment it's signed.
The TLM role at Ironclad
We believe in technical leaders who stay close to the work.
Roughly 80% building: shaping technical direction, designing systems, reviewing architecture, driving quality, and staying hands-on where it matters most.
Roughly 20% leading: coaching engineers, managing performance, hiring thoughtfully, and building a healthy, high-ownership team culture.
You'll join a company building at the center of AI and enterprise software, with the chance to solve hard product and technical problems that matter to some of the world's most sophisticated legal and business teams.
