Engineering Team Leader - AI Application Foundation

Description Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it. Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments. We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign. This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world. We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign. The Dream Job We’re on the lookout for a driven and experienced hands-on Engineering Team Leader to lead a group of engineers building the AI application foundation behind our next-generation cyber-AI product. This team owns the core backend and frontend infrastructure that powers all user-facing applications - as well as the agentic and conversational frameworks that bring intelligence and automation into the experience. As a hands-on leader, you’ll guide a talented team of engineers in designing and evolving the systems that enable every other Engineering group to create fast, scalable, and intelligent apps on top of our platform. The Dream-Maker Responsibilities Lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for backend services, frontend frameworks, and AI agent infrastructure - the technical bedrock of our product experience. Mentor engineers, grow the team, and foster a culture of technical excellence and innovation. Design and build robust frameworks and systems that power all customer-facing applications. Develop the agentic and conversational architecture enabling LLM-powered user interactions and intelligent workflows. Collaborate with AI research, data, and product teams to seamlessly integrate AI-driven capabilities into production systems. Define and drive the technical roadmap, ensuring scalability, developer productivity, and rapid iteration. The Dream Skill Set 7+ years of software development experience, with 2+ years leading and mentoring engineers. Strong expertise in backend development (Go, Python, Node.js, or similar) and familiarity with modern frontend technologies (React, Vue, TypeScript, etc.). Proven experience designing distributed and web application architectures. Solid understanding of developer experience - how to build frameworks and tooling that enable other teams to move faster. Experience working with or integrating AI systems, LLMs, or agent-based architectures. Excellent collaboration skills and a startup mindset - hands-on, pragmatic, and impact-oriented. A product-oriented mindset and the ability to work in a fast-paced, team-driven environment. Advantages: Experience with agent orchestration, context management, or retrieval-augmented architectures. Experience in cybersecurity. Hands-on expertise in Go development. Never Stop Dreaming... If you think this role doesn't fully match your skills but are eager to grow and break glass ceilings, we’d love to hear from you!
