Working directly with enterprise clients, you will validate where AI can create value, redesign business processes, and own the resulting system from early experiments through adoption and measurable results.\nAcross these environments, you will learn from recurring production failure modes and have the latitude to choose the models, tools, and architecture to solve the business problem.\nAlongside client delivery, you will turn successful approaches into shared assets that strengthen future engagements. Those contributions will shape EggAI's engineering culture and give you broad influence over how we work.\nThis is a hands-on leadership role. You will write production code, set technical direction, develop engineers through example, review, feedback, and coaching, and guide senior client stakeholders through difficult decisions.\nThis is a remote position. We only accept candidates located in the EU.\nWhat You'll Own\nAct as a trusted technical counterpart to client teams throughout the engagement, helping them make sound decisions and create lasting capability as you:\nDiscover: Validate business opportunities against AI capabilities and constraints, and identify new opportunities enabled by the technology.\nDesign: Own solution design and system architecture across agents, tools, data, evaluations, controls, human oversight, and deterministic boundaries.\nBuild: Personally implement the system's critical agents, integrations, evaluation infrastructure, permissions, observability, controls, and feedback loops.\nDeliver: Lead the team and client from implementation through adoption, owning engineering quality and production readiness while establishing a clear delivery rhythm and engineering accountability across the project team.\nCompound: Package successful work as tools, datasets, evaluations, patterns, and engineering methods.\nWhat We're Looking For\nA sustained record of exceptional technical leadership that generated real business impact, including experience leading small engineering teams.\nExperience designing, shipping, and operating production-grade AI systems, with practical judgment across architecture, context, tools, evaluation, observability, production controls, reliability, and cost.\nA demonstrated ability to keep pace with advances in AI, test what matters, and change working methods when new capabilities prove substantive, evidenced by advanced use of agentic AI in day-to-day work.\nRepeated ownership of difficult stakeholder environments and the judgment to connect technical decisions to business value, user needs, risk, and organizational change.\nExcellent communication skills across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.\nStrong coding skills and the ability to write and review production-grade code in languages such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.\nA strong engineering foundation and the first-principles judgment to understand what established practices protect and how those protections should be implemented in AI-native systems.\nStrong statistical and experimental judgment, including the ability to create the instrumentation, annotation, review, and feedback loops needed to learn from uncertain AI behaviour and improve systems over time.\nAdditional strengths\nExperience operating AI systems in security-sensitive or regulated environments.\nExperience creating AI tooling, evaluation infrastructure, data assets, or engineering platforms that serve multiple projects.\nA track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing engineering talent.\nMeaningful open-source work, public technical contributions, or active participation in the AI-engineering community\nAbout EggAI\nAgentic workforces are inevitable. Making them work is our mission.\nEggAI is building the engineering methods, operating models, and reusable technology to deploy agentic workforces with the quality and control required for sustained business impact.\nWorking closely with enterprise clients, we design, implement and operate agentic systems that evolve from augmenting individual tasks to autonomously executing end-to-end processes alongside people-resilient, controlled, and scalable. We begin with the client problem, select the technical approach that best serves it, and remain accountable through deployment, adoption, and operations. Each deployment strengthens the next by turning production learning into reusable capability.\nWe are an experienced, international team working across Europe. We set high standards, take ownership of outcomes, and value clear thinking, candid feedback, and the ability to turn ideas into tangible results.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4778,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Cyprus","iso":"CY","kind":"region"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"region"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"region"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T01:49:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.634,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":35,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/egg-ai-ai-engineering-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/egg-ai-ai-engineering-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T11:03:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16993,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416822},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416822"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fegg-ai-ai-engineering-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fegg-ai-ai-engineering-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fegg-ai-ai-engineering-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/egg-ai-ai-engineering-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fegg-ai-ai-engineering-lead"}]}
