### About the Company

Our partner is a fast-growing applied AI research lab that produces expert-level training data for the world's leading AI labs. In under two years they have scaled to a nine-figure revenue run rate, backed by leading venture investors and prominent angels from across the AI field. Quality is their core differentiator, and they are rapidly expanding into new domains.

### The Opportunity

As a Strategic Project Lead on the coding track, you will own client engagements end to end, partnering directly with researchers at top AI labs to scope, build, and deliver high-quality code-generation datasets. You will be the connective tissue across platform engineering, expert sourcing, and a network of technical domain experts, while keeping a pulse on the frontier to proactively shape what gets built next.

This is a high-agency, high-ownership role on a small, ambitious team, with a clear path to growing into pod leadership as the company scales.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for lab researchers, translating their needs into clear data specifications.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with platform engineering and the growth (expert sourcing) team.
• Manage a network of technical experts producing the data, and run quality assurance and quality checks.
• Proactively identify high-value datasets by tracking industry news and research.

### Requirements

• 3+ years of experience, with the ability to own client relationships independently end to end.
• A technical background (software engineering or computer science), given the code-generation focus of this track.
• Alternatively, a strong entrepreneurial or founder track record, top-tier banking or consulting experience, or an early-stage startup operator background.
• High agency and a strong bias to action under ambiguity.
• Fast learner who can keep pace with a rapidly evolving field.
• Strong work ethic and stamina for a demanding, project-based environment.
• Exceptional attention to detail in client-facing work.
• High integrity and a collaborative, low-ego approach.
