Original job description

Lazer is a world-class digital product studio composed of 180+ senior engineers and designers with backgrounds from companies like Apple, Google, Coinbase, and more. With our product experience, we have designed, engineered, and grown products from $0 to $200M in revenue.

Clients seek out our help because we have the talent to deeply understand their needs and provide industry, technical, or product insights that are uniquely valuable to their efforts. Our clients range from early-stage startups and venture studios to recognizable retail brands and exciting enterprises. Some of our notable clients include Google, Shopify, Coinbase, Alchemy, Hinge, OVO, Polymarket, and more.

We are a remote-first organization headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, with employees worldwide. We believe in providing the best experience possible for all Lazerites by fostering a strong community through regular events, company vacations, competitive compensation, unlimited PTO, and more!

Join Lazer and help us solve problems and build the next generation of products!

Lazer Core is a specialized team within Lazer focused on building robust, AI-powered full-stack applications. We partner closely with ambitious teams across industries to bring cutting-edge products to life, leveraging the latest in AI, agentic workflows, and scalable infrastructure. Our engineers work across the stack, helping clients solve high-impact problems with tailored, production-ready solutions.

Who You Are:

10+ years of engineering experience with 3+ years directly managing senior engineers, including hiring, performance management, and the difficult conversations that come with both.
Experience leading teams of 15+ engineers, ideally spread across multiple concurrent projects or engagements.
Still hands-on technically: you can read an architecture, spot the flaw, and propose a better approach.
Strong full stack depth with TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python or Go.
Proven experience building and shipping production agentic applications, including orchestration and tool-calling patterns.
Confidence setting up evaluation harnesses and testing infrastructure around agentic applications, run against real prompts and business metrics.
Familiarity with MLOps or LLMOps practices, including monitoring, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design.
Comfort working with at least one major cloud provider (GCP, AWS, Azure).
AI-native in your own daily practice, with grounded opinions on coding agents, harnesses, and workflows that you can teach credibly to other engineers.
Previous experience in consulting, agency, or forward deployed engineering roles, with the ability to manage client expectations and timelines.
A track record of developing people deliberately through training programs, onboarding paths, or mentorship structures that outlasted your direct involvement.
Comfort operating in ambiguity, making calls without waiting for permission, and creating clarity for the people around you.
Exceptional communication skills across executives, staff engineers, and written updates, and the instinct to hold your team to the same standard.

What You'll Do:

Co-own the AI engineering team of roughly 30 forward deployed engineers alongside existing engineering leaders.
Own the health and happiness of the team through regular 1:1s, catching disengagement, burnout, and bench frustration before they become resignations.
Run performance reviews against our FDE rubric, which weighs consulting skills as equally important as technical skills.
Level up the team as Forward Deployed Engineers through training sessions, playbooks, checklists, pairing, and internal writeups.
Define and maintain the baseline AI competency every engineer on the team is held to, and keep it current as tooling changes.
Codify what our best engineers do instinctively into shared, documented practice, and distill field learnings back into reusable patterns.
Track engagement health across the portfolio, surfacing delivery risk, uncovered areas, and deteriorating client relationships early.
Review architectures and pressure-test approaches so they hold up to scrutiny from a client CTO or architecture review board.
Provide project and technical guidance on evaluation strategy, instrumentation, and how we prove impact.
Step onto engagements as technical lead when a project needs it.
Partner with talent on sourcing, run hiring manager screens, calibrate interviewers, and own the technical bar for the team.
Staff engagements by matching engineers to projects on skill, growth, and client fit, and manage workload so utilization and development stay in balance.

Support scoping and pre-sales conversations where technical credibility matters, and act as senior escalation point for clients and partners.

Nice to Have:

The following would be a bonus experience to have, though highlight any additional experience or skills you may have. We like working with people with varied backgrounds and experiences.

Enterprise depth in financial services, healthcare, or retail, including how security, legal, and compliance review actually work.
Experience scaling a forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, or professional services team.
Experience running AI enablement or developer productivity programs for an engineering org.
Background as a founder, CTO, or early engineer at a venture-backed startup.
Experience fine-tuning LLMs using open-source models or closed-source services.
Familiarity with Kubernetes and container orchestration.
Experience designing scalable data pipelines or data lakes.
Relevant certifications, open-source contributions, or technical publications.

AI in our hiring process
We use AI to help us review and shortlist applications based on job-related criteria. A human hiring manager always makes the call on who moves forward. As a company that builds with AI every day, we're all for candidates using it too - just be upfront about how it helped.

Why Work With Us

🚀 Accelerate Your Growth: Work across multiple industries and cutting-edge projects with a team that ships fast.
💥 Maximum Impact: Shape the future of the tech industry by helping ambitious projects reach their potential.
🏅 True Ownership: Everyone ships code and has real autonomy with minimal meetings.
💡 Continuous Learning: Be part of a team of senior engineers and designers who love learning and knowledge sharing.

Why This Might Not Be For You

🤖 You Resist Modern Tools: We leverage AI and cutting-edge technology to build rapidly and focus our energy on solving the most complex, high-impact challenges for our clients.
🏗️ You Crave High Structure: We thrive in an autonomous, fast-moving environment, which means you need to be comfortable with some ambiguity.
😴 You Prefer Conventional Careers: Our consulting approach involves varied projects and direct client interaction - it's not for everyone.
1️⃣ You Like Staying in One Lane: Our projects require adapting to different tech stacks and modern tooling quickly.

Benefits & Perks

🌐 Work From Anywhere: Choose your workspace - all you need is strong wifi and a passion for building!
🧘‍♂️ Work / Life Balance: We believe in our team’s ability to have it all; a great career, and time to unplug and live…you know...life.
🩺 Employee Care: We provide full benefits (healthcare, dental, vision) for our employees (401k for our US employees)
🏖️ Unlimited PTO: Everyone needs a break. Take at least 15 days off a year, and more if you need - just be cool about it and keep the team in mind.
🎉 Regular Team Retreat: Join us for a week of team bonding at amazing destinations. Recent trips include the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and Hawaii - plus ones welcome.
