We combine our platform with forward-deployed expertise to connect customers' existing systems, build what they need, and operate it in production. Increasingly, buyers are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and other AI systems what they should use. Chiri must be one of their top answers. ## Role Overview We're looking for an exceptional Engineering Manager to lead our distributed engineering team and own day-to-day engineering execution. This role combines outstanding people leadership, metrics-driven management, engineering operations, customer engagement, and hands-on full-stack development. You'll report to our Co-Founder and CTO, taking responsibility for engineering management and delivery so the CTO can focus on technology strategy, industry vision, and business development. This is not a management-only role. We need someone who can lead engineers, manage the operation, engage confidently with customers, and jump into the code when needed. ## Key Responsibilities - Team Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop engineers. Own performance management, hiring, onboarding, career development, accountability, and team culture. - Metrics & Delivery: Manage engineering KPIs, productivity, capacity, resource allocation, quality, and delivery commitments across multiple projects. Use data to improve performance and outcomes. - Engineering Operations: Own development tooling, cloud environments, CI/CD, testing, deployment, security, and engineering logistics. Optimize AI-assisted development workflows, infrastructure costs, and operational efficiency. - Customer Engagement: Work directly with US and other clients to understand requirements, guide technical solutions, manage delivery expectations, and ensure measurable business outcomes within Chiri's AI MSP model. - Hands-On Engineering: Contribute to architecture, coding, integrations, code reviews, troubleshooting, and production support. Partner with the CTO on technical standards and implementation. Required Skills and Experience - Proven people leadership, including direct management, coaching, performance management, and developing high-performing engineering teams in a remote environment. - Experience managing engineering metrics, delivery operations, resource allocation, and multiple concurrent initiatives. - Strong customer-facing communication skills, including working with business and technical stakeholders. - Significant hands-on full-stack engineering background with TypeScript and Python, including backend services, APIs, integrations, and modern frontend frameworks such as React and Next.js. - Production experience with AWS and/or Azure, Docker, Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools, Git, CI/CD, SQL, and automated testing. - Experience building or operating AI-powered applications involving LLMs, agents, or automation workflows. - Strong understanding of software architecture, security, reliability, and production operations. - Excellent English communication skills and the ability to lead effectively in a remote environment. ## Preferred Qualifications - Engineering leadership experience in an MSP, consulting, professional services, or forward-deployed engineering environment. - Experience with AI-native development tools, autonomous coding agents, and engineering productivity analytics. - Experience with SaaS platforms, enterprise integrations, and managing ongoing security requirements like SOC2. - Experience scaling engineering teams in startup or high-growth environments, bonus points for experience in working with Latin America teams. ## What We Offer A fully remote, high-ownership leadership role helping shape an AI-native engineering organization. You'll work directly with Chiri's founders, lead talented engineers, and build real-world AI solutions using modern tools and technologies. ## About Chiri ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Chiri is an AI orchestration platform that helps companies build governed, scalable AI-powered workflows alongside their human teams, positioning itself as an "AI Sherpa" for enterprises transitioning from AI-nascent to AI-native. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Early Stage based on headcount and funding indicators) - **Headquarters**: United States (specific city not publicly listed) - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed ## Core Business - **Primary Industry**: Artificial Intelligence / Enterprise Software / AI Orchestration & Governance - **Target Customers**: B2B, mid-market to enterprise companies (e.g., B2B security firms, operations-heavy businesses) - **Mission/Purpose**: To lead companies safely and successfully from AI-nascent to AI-native, ensuring no business is left behind by AI. ## Products & Services - **ChiriBrain**: The core governance and orchestration layer that scales AI workflows, connects across 2,000+ tools and 350+ AI models, and provides cost controls, audit trails, and confidence thresholds. It acts as a "system of action" on top of existing infrastructure. - **Forward-Deployed Engineering Services**: Chiri sends in engineers to learn how a client's team works, map high-value workflows, and build custom AI-powered systems. This service precedes the software deployment. - **AI Agent Workflows**: Pre-built and custom AI agents that operate in existing tools like Slack, Gmail, and Teams, automating tasks such as inventory management, GTM pipeline enrichment, and finance reconciliation. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: 11 total employees (as of 2025); reports client outcomes such as $60K/mo saved (6x faster AI adoption), $450K/yr savings (3x faster AI optimization), and $900K saved (4x faster AI software engineering). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed - **Growth Signals**: Founded in 2025 and already reports significant client savings; actively hiring across multiple engineering roles (Full Stack, Mobile, QA, Data Platform); operates in 18 locations with a hybrid work model. ## Competitive Advantages - **"Services + Software" Model**: Unlike pure-play AI software vendors, Chiri starts with human engineers who embed with client teams, ensuring the AI foundation is custom-built for actual workflows before deploying the platform. - **Enterprise-Grade Governance**: Provides 100% audited workflows, cost controls, and a governance layer designed for scale from day one, addressing a key pain point for enterprises wary of ungoverned AI. - **Integration Depth**: Connects to 2,000+ tools and 350+ AI models, meaning clients do not need to rip out existing infrastructure. - **Proven ROI**: Publishes concrete client case studies with dollar amounts and time savings, demonstrating measurable value. ## Strategic Focus - **Current Priorities**: Scaling the forward-deployed engineering team; building out the ChiriBrain platform for broader enterprise adoption; expanding the number of pre-built agent workflows; and maintaining a "system-led approach" that combines human expertise with AI agents. - **Growth Direction**: Moving from bespoke client engagements to a repeatable, scalable platform that enterprises can run independently after initial setup. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as ambitious, with a focus on shaping the future of Human+AI teams. The company emphasizes a "Sherpa" mentality—carrying the weight for clients and not leaving them at base camp. - **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Hybrid workspace; employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work. Typical on-site time is not specified but roles are listed as remote across 18-20 locations. - **Notable Perks/Engineering Culture**: Engineers own features end-to-end and work directly with clients to deliver measurable business outcomes. Roles emphasize backend focus, API design, AI-powered features, and collaboration across product and client teams. Open roles include Full Stack, Mobile (iOS/Flutter), QA, and Data Platform engineers. ## Sources 1. [chiri.ai](https://chiri.ai/) 2. [chiri.ai/careers](https://chiri.ai/careers) 3.
