Опис
Aracor is on a mission to build a world-class product that will redefine
dealmaking. Built for family offices, in-house legal teams, venture capital, and
private equity firms, our AI-native platform helps manage thousands of pages of
documents with greater speed and precision, uncovering key insights and risks in
seconds. Aracor combines legal expertise with cutting-edge AI to streamline the
entire deal lifecycle and deliver the competitive edge today’s high-stakes
transactions demand.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are seeking a high-agency Engineering Lead to take Aracor’s platform to the
next level. In this role, you will own our full-stack engineering efforts
end-to-end: from building and managing the team, to designing scalable
architecture and deploying reliable services in production.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
* Full-Stack Ownership: Lead the design, architecture, and development of
Aracor’s platform across the stack, ensuring high performance and
scalability.
* Technical Strategy: Work closely with the key stakeholders on technical
roadmap and decisions. Evaluate and introduce new technologies to improve
platform performance, scalability, and reliability as needed.
* Team Building & Leadership: Hire, mentor, and manage a high-performing team
of engineers. Foster a culture of ownership, continuous learning, and quality
execution.
* Agile Delivery: Drive sprint planning, prioritization, and project management
to ensure on-time delivery of product launches. Keep the team focused and
accountable to milestones and results.
* Quality & Reliability: Own the platform’s reliability, security, and
maintainability. Implement engineering best practices in code reviews,
testing, CI/CD, and monitoring to uphold a robust production environment.
* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with product and business
teams to translate requirements into effective technical solutions.
Communicate trade-offs and be the bridge between engineering and other
stakeholders.
* Startup Hustle: Adapt and wear multiple hats as needed in a fast-paced
startup setting. Whether it’s debugging a Kubernetes deployment, refining a
UI workflow, or jumping on an urgent issue, you do what it takes to push the
product and team forward.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
* Leadership & Delivery:
Hire and mentor a 6–20+ person team; run quarterly OKRs; keep execution crisp
and outcomes measurable
* Engineering Excellence:
Establish AI-assisted SDLC (GitHub Copilot, Cursor/Windsurf), spec-based
development (RFCs/ADRs, schema-first OpenAPI/GraphQL, contract tests), drive
trunk-based development approach with CI/CD quality gates, SAST/DAST, and
full observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana).
* Platform & Architecture (0→1→n):
Lead a multi-tenant, on-prem-ready SaaS based on Kubernetes (Helm/Argo CD,
Terraform) with MariaDB (InnoDB/ColumnStore), OpenSearch or Qdrant for
vectors, S3 compatible object storage, Redis, and Kafka/NATS. Establish
tenant isolation via app-enforced row-level access (views/procs/ABAC) and
per-tenant keys.
* AI/RAG & Model Gateway:
Build a model gateway that routes between cloud LLMs (OpenAI/Azure/Anthropic)
and self-hosted like DeepSeek/Llama via vLLM/TGI; implement retrieval (BM25 +
vector), rerankers, strict citations, PII/privilege redaction, guardrails,
and evals (quality/latency/cost).
* Documents & Integrations:
Own ingestion (Unstructured/Tika/Document AI), OCR, semantic chunking, and a
legal-grade viewer with true content redaction (e.g., Apryse/PSPDFKit).
Integrate Microsoft 365/SharePoint/Outlook, iManage/NetDocs, DocuSign/Adobe
Sign.
* BSS / Monetization:
Ship service catalog & entitlements, usage metering & rating (tokens, seats,
GB-month, OCR pages), subscriptions/billing/payments (Stripe/Adyen or OSS
Lago/Kill Bill), tax (VAT/GST/US via Avalara/Vertex/Stripe Tax), revenue
recognition (ASC-606/IFRS-15), ERP (NetSuite/Xero), and LEDES/UTBMS
e-billing.
* Security & Compliance:
Implement SSO (OIDC/SAML), SCIM, RBAC/ABAC (ethical walls), BYOK/KMS,
encryption, immutable audit, legal hold/retention, GDPR/UK-GDPR residency,
SIEM integration, and supply-chain security (SCA/SBOM).
OUR STACK
* Backend: Rust (Axum/Actix, Tokio) & Python (FastAPI/Celery)
* Frontend: Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript (Pinia)
* Data/Search: MariaDB, OpenSearch/Qdrant (vectors), S3
* AI/Serving: LangGraph/LangChain or Haystack; vLLM/TGI; DeepSeek/Llama;
OpenAI/Azure; Guardrails/Presidio
* Infra: Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, Terraform, Redis, Kafka/NATS
QUALIFICATIONS
* Proven Technical Leader: 7+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years
in a leadership role (tech lead/engineering manager) in a fast-paced
environment.
* Full-Stack Expertise: Hands-on experience designing and shipping modern web
applications and multi-tenant platforms end-to-end. Comfortable with our
current tech stack (Python, FastAPI) backends and jsfrontends and excited to
dive into new languages or frameworks in Rust when appropriate.
* Hybrid LLM systems: Built cloud and self-hosted LLM flows including retrieval
with citations, guardrails, evals, and cost controls.
* BSS expertise: Experience of Development or integration with solutions for
selling services includingcatalog/entitlements, usage metering & rating,
billing/payments, tax, rev-rec, ERP; LEDES/UTBMS a plus.
* Security/compliance: SSO/SCIM, ABAC/ethical walls, BYOK/KMS, audit/retention,
GDPR; supply-chain security.
* End-to-End Delivery: Demonstrated ability to architect and deliver complex
systems from scratch – from initial design and APIs to deployment and
monitoring in production.
* Team Building Experience: Proven experience hiring and leading engineers,
with a track record of nurturing talent and establishing effective
engineering processes (agile sprints, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, etc.).
* High Agency & Ownership: Self-driven and proactive. Thrives with autonomy and
takes ownership of outcomes. Able to make decisions and solve problems
independently, with a bias for action.
* Strong Communication: Excellent communicator who can explain technical
