Peach Pilot - Founding VP, AI Engineering

Peach Pilot - Founding VP, AI Engineering Hybrid - Atlanta, Georgia May 20, 2026 Pay information not provided Peach Pilot: Founding VP, AI Engineering Atlanta, GA (Buckhead) | Founding Team | In-office 3 days/week Most AI companies sell tools. We transform how businesses run. Peach Pilot builds a platform that ingests everything about how a company operates, every system, every process, every signal and constructs a Company Brain: a living knowledge graph that connects people, decisions, and outcomes across the entire organization. We deploy 92 pre-built AI agents that work together across every business function, governed by humans at every critical step. The system gets smarter with every interaction. We don't sell software licenses. We embed into a client's operation, learn their business in weeks, show them what's broken backed by their own data, and redesign their highest-impact business functions with AI. Our first vertical is insurance. Our first client engagement is already scoped and funded. Peach Pilot is co-founded by Mario Montag (Predikto acquired by a Fortune 50; McKinsey, PwC) and JP James (Hive Financial Assets, Georgia Tech, TITAN 100). We have a working platform with live infrastructure and a proven data-to-insights methodology. The Role This is the most senior engineering hire we are making, and it is a builder's role first. You will be the technical anchor for the platform, working directly alongside Mario and JP. You will write production code 80-90% of the time, own architecture decisions, and lay the foundation for the team you will eventually grow underneath you. This is not a management role with occasional code reviews. We need someone who has done a true zero-to-one build before and is energized by doing it again here. You will be leading a development team where AI agents are driving the build not assisting it. This is a fundamental shift in how software is being developed, and it is how we are building from day one. If you have been waiting for the right environment to work this way, this is it. In the early months, you will write code, make architecture decisions, and ship real capabilities. As the team grows under you, you will provide technical mentorship and guidance as a partner not a gatekeeper. What You'll Own & Build The Engineering Foundation Set the technical bar from day one code standards, testing practices, deployment pipelines, on-call expectations. Define how this team works and ships before there are five, ten, or fifteen engineers behind you. The standards you set in the first 90 days will shape the engineering culture for everyone who comes after. The Company Brain Architect and evolve the knowledge graph (Memgraph + Qdrant + Neo4j) that captures institutional knowledge — people, relationships, processes, decisions, and outcomes across an entire organization. Build the Reasoning Engine that operates both strategically and operationally over this graph. Own the architecture for AI agents that coordinate across business functions. Build the coordination protocol, human-in-the-loop governance, and reinforcement learning loop where agents get smarter from every outcome. Data Ingestion at Scale Connect to every system a client uses — CRM, email, calls, calendars, documents, chat, financial systems through our Nango-based integration layer with 700+ connectors. Ensure data quality through dedup, enrichment, classification, and validation before anything enters the knowledge graph. The Team You'll Build You won't hire on day one. You will hire when the work demands it and the foundation is ready to scale on. When that moment comes, you'll grow a team that ships at the bar you have set and you'll mentor engineers who have your back, not engineers waiting on your direction. Client Technical Voice Sit in client technical discovery sessions. Translate complex architecture decisions into language that builds trust with non-technical executives and co-founders. Be the technical credibility in the room when the conversation goes deep. The Stack AI/LLM: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, LiteLLM (multi-model routing), Custom agent orchestration with reinforcement learning Backend: Python (FastAPI), Async agent runtime, JWT auth + multi-tenant isolation, Pydantic Integrations: Nango (700+ connectors) Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, GCE, Firebase), Azure (Cosmos DB, AI Search), GitHub Actions CI/CD, Docker We are cloud-agnostic across GCP and Azure. The right hire will help shape how we deploy and scale across both. Who You Are 10+ years of experience — and Still in the Code. Ten or more years of senior engineering, architecture decisions, and shipped products not from the sidelines, in it. You are the technical anchor the rest of the team builds around. A True Zero-to-One Builder. You have taken a platform from nothing to production and scaled it. This is our primary filter. If your strongest experience is inheriting and optimizing systems built by someone else, this is not the role. An AI/ML Production Expert. You have shipped production AI systems that real users depend on. You understand LLM orchestration, embeddings, vector search, and agent coordination. You've worked in production with knowledge graphs or data-intensive applications where the data model is as important as the code. A Senior IC Who Will Build a Team. You are comfortable as both architect and deep individual contributor today, and you genuinely want to grow and mentor a team when the time comes. This is not a role for someone avoiding people work and it is not a role for someone who wants to manage from day one. A Clear Communicator. You translate complex technical decisions into language that builds trust with non-technical co-founders and enterprise clients. You hold your own when an executive room turns technical. Startup-Tested. You have been in early-stage before. You know what it feels like to build something from nothing and you are energized by it. What Makes This Different You are joining a proven founder's second company with established domain credibility. We have a working platform with live infrastructure and a first client engagement already in motion. You will have access to production data, live workflows, and real compliance requirements from day one. Every engagement makes the platform smarter. Every client's data enriches the knowledge base for the next one. You're not building features for a backlog you're building the engine that transforms how companies operate. We pay market rates and offer meaningful founding-team equity. This is a senior founding-team grant. Benefits Base Salary: Competitive, commensurate with experience Equity: Meaningful founding-team equity package senior founding-team grant Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision; 401(k); flexible PTO Location: Hybrid: Atlanta, GA (Buckhead), 3 days in-office #J-18808-Ljbffr Dormont Manufacturing Co
