Product Engineering Lead

About the role

The Product Engineering Lead will oversee the development of QV.AC, a local AI assistant, by leading feature and app teams. This role involves balancing engineering leadership with product strategy to ensure features are built to high standards for real-world device constraints. You will report to the CTO and partner with product managers to translate vision into reliable, performant software.

Responsibilities

• Run the app and feature teams day to day: unblocking, reviewing, and keeping them shipping.
• Set and hold a high engineering bar for performance, reliability, and clean APIs.
• Own the technical design of features and the API surface between our AI core and the app.
• Make sure your teams work closely with our AI research and deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and anything that touches models or inference.
• Work alongside QV.AC's product managers to turn vision and roadmap into scoped, buildable work.
• Push back when scope and reality don't match, and propose better paths when they exist.
• Create clarity around team goals and make sure everyone knows what success looks like.
• Mentor team leads to build strong team operating systems, improve how their teams work with others, and grow as leaders.
