Lead Engineer, AI-Native Product Development

Kroll is building AI-enabled internal products that materially accelerate how our advisory professionals work. This role is not traditional software engineering. It is AI-orchestrated product development.The Lead Engineer will own end-to-end build streams—designing, developing, testing, and shipping internal tools that enhance core workflows across valuation, investigations, restructuring, cyber, and compliance. You will operate as a force multiplier by leveraging agentic coding systems and multi-agent orchestration to compress development cycles while maintaining production-grade quality.This role requires technical depth, architectural judgment, and fluency in AI-driven development paradigms.Core Responsibilities:1. End-to-End Product OwnershipOwn full-stack development of AI-enabled internal productsTranslate workflow requirements into scalable application architecturesDeliver production-grade systems—not prototypes—aligned with enterprise security and governance requirementsMaintain accountability for performance, reliability, and maintainability2.
