Founding Technical Lead

Alchemy Worx • New York, NY

1d • $160 - $200

About The Position

We are seeking a Technical Lead to drive product development from initial concept to launch, maintaining a strong customer focus. This is a highly hands-on role where you will thrive in ambiguity and be responsible for the full product lifecycle across multiple projects simultaneously. You will collaborate directly with our strategy and business teams to identify high-value, AI-feasible opportunities and influence product direction through rapid execution, including discovery, prototyping, building, shipping, and iteration.

Requirements

• 6+ years shipping full-stack products end-to-end
• Strong Python and modern web stack (React/Next.js + APIs + DB + deployments)
• Data processing and Machine learning fundamentals (pandas, Sklearn, pytorch/tensorflow, model evaluation)
• Experience building with LLMs and Agent frameworks (Open AI SDK, Google ADK, Langchain/Langraph, MCP)
• Comfort with ambiguity, fast cycles, and customer-facing iteration
• Team leadership experience (manager/tech lead)

Responsibilities

• Own multiple projects from end to end: brainstorming product concepts, generating POCs to be evaluated and owning builds to reach a minimum viable product.
• Build full-stack applications (backend, frontend, data layer, infra, deployment, and monitoring).
• Experiment with AI functionality on each case: classical ML when needed (forecasting, scoring, classification), plus LLM/agent workflows and evaluation loops
• Establish engineering standards: code quality, CI/CD hygiene, logging/analytics, basic security
• Work directly with design partners and ship weekly updates
• Mentor/hire as the team grows
