VP of Engineering
Terra AI, Redwood City Office
What you will do
What you’ll do
Terra AI has a strong research practice developing novel models and algorithms, and a Product and Platform organization that turns mature capabilities into enterprise applications and workflows. We are looking for a VP of Engineering to build the critical function between them: translating promising research prototypes into robust, reusable backend technology that Product can confidently integrate and scale.
You’ll own the engineering realization of Terra AI’s core technology. That means shaping solution architectures, choosing interfaces and abstractions, developing reusable technical primitives, and making emerging capabilities reproducible, testable, performant, observable, maintainable, and economically operable. You’ll also help determine which problems belong in research and which are ready for disciplined engineering execution.
This is both a technical and organizational leadership role. You’ll personally shape early architecture decisions, recruit exceptional engineers, establish thoughtful design and delivery practices, and create strong working relationships with Research, Product, and Platform. Over time, you’ll develop leaders and a team that can mature new technologies repeatedly without relying on individual heroics.
