Head of Artificial Intelligence

Overview We are partnering with an AI-powered Compliance OS designed for public companies and regulated businesses to automate, draft, and verify regulatory filings. This is a pre-seed company where you are coming in at the beginning and setting the technical direction and building 0 -> 1. They are looking for someone who is in a senior / staff / principal / lead role who has led or mentored, or someone in a more senior leadership role at a startup. The salary range is 185k-250k and can provide anywhere from 3-5% in equity. What we are building: Multi-agent orchestration (serial + parallel) using LangGraph, MCP, and PydanticAI Graph-based retrieval (Graph RAG) across filings, entities, and historical disclosures Reinforcement learning for consistency, hallucination reduction, and reward-based accuracy Deep integration with ERP, Microsoft 365, and equity management systems — creating a single source of truth The Role We are looking for a true 0 to 1 builder. This will be your company as much as ours. You’ll own the product - architecture, algorithms, and reliability — designing multi-agent systems that reason over structured + unstructured data and deliver auditable, regulator-ready legal outputs. This role sits at the intersection of applied research, product, and infrastructure. You’ll Architect multi-agent systems for reasoning and verification in high-stakes workflows Build graph-based retrieval and long-context scaffolding for cross-document reasoning Develop RL frameworks to optimize accuracy and reduce hallucination Design domain-specific prompting and chain-of-thought templates for risk disclosure with domain experts Translate legal and financial logic into state machines and decision DAGs Ship fast, own quality, and make the system *work* What we are looking for 5+ years in ML/AI (RLHF, retrieval-augmented systems, designing few-shots learning/high quality prompts to mitigate hallucination) Experience building or scaling multi-agent or graph reasoning systems Experience with LangGraph, PydanticAI, or custom orchestration frameworks Research or applied work in RL, CoT reasoning, or graph retrieval Bias toward speed, clarity, and ownership Nice to Have Built in high-stakes, high-accuracy domains (finance, legal, healthcare) Background in legal or regulated workflow Advanced degree in CS, ML, or equivalent depth You would describe yourself as a character in Big Bang Theory #J-18808-Ljbffr Jecona
