## Direct-match strengths

Long engineering-management record, teams of 8-25, hiring, performance management, budget/headcount ownership, distributed Agile delivery, production AI agents, AI-native engineering, voice interaction, and customer-focused SaaS execution.

## Hard or material gaps

Travel cadence is disclosed but trip duration is not, so compliance with the 5% ceiling cannot be confirmed. Haskell and JavaScript are stack context rather than stated requirements and are not claimed. The role is deliberately people-manager-first and will use less of Keith's hands-on architecture depth.

## Evidence map

4. AI-native team enablement (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Built AssistX and mentored engineers in Codex/AI-assisted development.
5. Hands-on AI fluency (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Built production LLM, RAG, agent, evaluation, voice, and AWS systems.
6. Product and customer-value partnership (weight 2, evidence 3/3) — Direct product ownership, customer discovery, and cross-functional delivery.
7. Conversational/voice AI (weight 1, evidence 3/3) — Direct voice-driven AssistX interfaces and CCaaS workforce platform context.

FutureTech Recruitment is partnered with a $110M+ funded Series B enterprise AI startup backed by top-tier institutional investors. The company is building and running AI agents in production for large enterprises in a nearly $1 trillion market that is barely 1% automated. This is a genuine AI company shipping a real AI product - not just AI on the website.
They’re hiring an Engineering Manager to join a tight management team of 6 that makes department-wide decisions together. You’ll own hiring, budget, headcount, and career development for a squad of 8-15 engineers - and have a real voice in hiring bar, OKRs, org design, and engineering process. People manager and servant leader first, with enough technical foundation that a team of senior engineers will trust your judgment.
Responsibilities
Lead and grow a squad of 8-15 engineers - own hiring, career development, performance management, and budget/headcount planning
Operate as a peer on a tight management team that meets multiple times per week and collectively owns all engineering department decisions
Set the pace and challenge the status quo - create an environment where great engineers ship fast and learn from failures quickly
Drive predictable, high-quality delivery - stand behind your team’s timelines and outcomes
Make your team AI-native - turn individual AI experimentation into team-level results with better throughput and faster paths from idea to production
Partner with Product, Delivery, and cross-functional teams to keep the squad anchored to real customer value
Requirements
10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years managing engineering teams of 8+ people - including hiring and performance management
People manager and servant leader first - happy to stay out of code reviews and architecture decisions
Was a credible software engineer earlier in career - enough technical foundation that senior engineers trust your judgment
Hands-on AI fluency with something real to show - what you built, what models you used, what worked
Must be based in the US or Canada - willing to travel every 6 weeks for in-person offsites
Experience in conversational AI, voice AI, or real-time infrastructure a nice-to-have
Tech Stack
Conversational AI, Voice AI, Telephony, LLMs, NLP, Machine Learning, Haskell, JavaScript, Python
$110M+ raised, Series B, AI agents running in production for large enterprises, nearly $1T market barely touched. If you’re a servant-leader engineering manager who thrives in high-growth, fully remote environments and wants to own a squad at a genuine AI company, we’d love to hear from you.
