Role Overview

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team building the platform capabilities and agentic AI applications that power Legion’s products.

This is a technical, player/coach leadership role spanning AI engineering, platform engineering, and product development. You’ll lead engineers working across agentic workflows, tools and integrations, platform services, and the data infrastructure required to run secure and reliable AI systems in production.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, go-to-market teams, and other engineering leaders to translate customer and business needs into technical priorities, while helping your team make strong architectural decisions and ship quickly. You’ll be responsible for team development and ensuring solid engineering practices across our AI applications and data infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and grow engineers working across agentic AI applications and platform systems.
  • Set expectations for team execution and delivery from early product concepts through production deployment and operation.
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, Platform Engineering, and go-to-market teams to translate customer problems into clear engineering priorities.
  • Establish strong engineering patterns for agent workflows, MCP and tool integrations, service design, APIs, deployment, and inter-service communication.
  • Guide architecture and engineering trade-offs, balancing rapid product iteration with long-term maintainability and platform scalability.
  • Bring an informed perspective to data infrastructure and data management for enterprise AI systems.
  • Remove blockers and improve engineering processes so the team can move quickly without sacrificing quality.
  • Stay close to the technology and contribute directly when needed, particularly on architecture, prototypes, and technically complex initiatives.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, experimentation, continuous learning, and low-ego technical decision-making.
  • Recruit, mentor, and retain exceptional engineers.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience designing and operating production software systems.
  • 2+ years of experience hiring, managing, and developing engineering teams.
  • Strong software architecture and systems engineering background, with the ability to guide technical decisions across application and platform layers.
  • Experience building or supporting AI/ML platforms or AI-powered products, including technologies such as LLMs, AI agents, model serving, MCP, tool calling, workflows, or enterprise integrations.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes.
  • Strong technical judgment and the ability to make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, simplicity, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Experience partnering closely with Product and other engineering teams to define roadmaps and deliver customer value.
  • Proven experience hiring, mentoring, and developing high-performing engineers.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, low-ego leadership style.
  • Excitement for 0→1 product development and building at the intersection of AI infrastructure and customer-facing experiences.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in Rust or leading teams operating in a Rust-heavy environment.
  • Familiarity with AI evaluation frameworks, observability, and production.
  • Experience designing systems for the enterprise
  • Experience in startup or high-growth environments where teams iterate rapidly.
  • Exposure to regulated or mission-critical industries such as defense, healthcare, finance, or telecommunications.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
