Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • This is the most senior technical track in the company - leadership through technical credibility, not headcount.
  • Because AI handles the routine, everyone on the team is senior and high-leverage.

Responsibilities

  • You architect and build alongside your team, you set the technical bar by doing the work, and you steer the rest of the domain through its engineers and leads.
  • You run a pod directly, hold a weekly council seat alongside the founders, and partner with your Domain PM as an equal.
  • This is a rare chance to own an entire domain of a profitable, category-leading AI company outright - and to shape where banking goes next.
  • These are some of the areas a Chief Engineer could own:
  • Architecture and build - you design the systems for your domain and you write the code; you set the technical standard by example, not from a distance.
  • ๐Ÿค– Claude Enterprise + frontier AI tools for every employee - build with the best
  • The team is small enough that your judgment shapes everything, and the market is large enough that what you build will matter for a long time.

Requirements

  • You've owned a critical domain or system end-to-end at high scale, or at a high- velocity Series A-D startup - and you can walk through the decisions you made, and the ones you considered and rejected.
  • you are not someone who stopped touching the system years ago or an "architect" who only produces diagrams.

Nice to have

  • The core AI runtime and the intelligence systems. knowledge, retrieval, evaluation, and the data flywheel - that make the AI reason well and keep improving.
  • The AI agents members talk to across voice and chat, and the AI-first contact center that makes employees dramatically more capable.
  • The integrations and computer-use work that let agents take real action in the systems institutions run on.
  • The systems that turn AI conversations into measurable outcomes, plus the operational backbone that keeps the platform fast and reliable.
  • An AI-native consumer banking experience that acts on people's behalf.
  • you set the technical standard by example, not from a distance.
  • The technical bar - you ship, you review, and you hold the line on quality and velocity across your domain's pods.
  • BS/BA in Computer Science required
