Tech Lead

Who we are

Eagle is an AI holding company with a simple mission: bolster American resilience by creating the next-gen engineering services firm.

Today American infrastructure faces no shortage of challenges — from natural disaster risk and climate change to outright age and deterioration.

The problem is that the way we design infrastructure is stuck in the past.

Engineers today spend most of their time bogged down in documentation, clunky CAD software, and manual workflows — acting more like back-office admin than inventive builders.

We’re on a mission to change that.

We’re acquiring and partnering with the best engineering design firms — civil, structural, environmental, MEP, and more — to embed AI at the core of their operations and create the engineering firm of the future.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Tech Lead to own the architecture, delivery, and evolution of our AI-powered engineering services platform. This is a hands-on leadership role; you’ll write code, set technical direction, mentor engineers, and work directly with founders to shape the product roadmap. You’ll be an early leader in building the engineering culture and scaling the team.

What You’ll Do

• Lead technical design and architecture decisions to ensure our systems are scalable, secure, and performant.

• Own delivery of major product initiatives from concept to production.

• Write clean, maintainable code and set engineering best practices for the team.

• Mentor and guide engineers, conducting design reviews and fostering technical growth.

• Identify and implement process improvements for speed and quality as we scale.

• Help with recruiting and onboarding as we grow the engineering team.

Who You Are

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in a technical leadership capacity.

• Proven track record of leading the design and delivery of complex, scalable systems.

• Deep experience in one or more: Python, Node.js, Go; strong knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Strong understanding of API design, distributed systems, and real-time data processing.

• Comfortable working with ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment.

• Skilled at balancing long-term technical vision with short-term delivery needs.

• Bonus: experience integrating LLMs, AI-powered automation, or observability tools.
