Founder's Office

At Yal, we are architecting the next generation of AI-native communication protocols. The Office of the CEO serves as the company's primary execution engine. We are seeking a Technical Lead to act as a Force Multiplier, operating at the convergence of high-concurrency systems, LLM orchestration, and rapid product deployment.

This is a non-people-management role focused on engineering-driven problem solving. You are the 'Swiss Army Knife' deployed to resolve systemic bottlenecks, whether they exist in the inference pipeline, the mobile tech stack, or the technical roadmap.

Core Responsibilities

• Technical Proxy: Represent the CEO in deep-tech syncs across AI/ML and Mobile functions. You will audit technical action items, ensuring the vision is translated into precise engineering requirements and tracked to production.
• 0-to-1 Technical Execution: Take full ownership of high-priority technical projects—from evaluating third-party API integrations and vector database selection to architecting internal operational tools.
• Systemic Optimization: Critique product roadmaps through the lens of technical feasibility. You will provide data-driven insights on trade-offs involving latency, tokenization costs, and system architecture to facilitate high-stakes decisions.
• Engineering Velocity: Act as the technical 'glue' between Engineering and Product. You will identify architectural blockers, streamline sprint cycles, and ensure cross-functional alignment to accelerate deployment.
  

The Profile

• Academic Pedigree: B.Tech or Dual Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field from a Tier-1 institution (IIT/BITS/NIT).
• Technical IQ: You must be fluent in the mechanics of LLMs (RAG, fine-tuning, prompt engineering), API design, and Mobile framework performance. You understand the deep-tech trade-offs between building proprietary models vs. leveraging existing infrastructure.
• Experience: 2–4 years of experience in a high-growth startup environment where you functioned as a 'Generalist Engineer.'
• Extreme Agency: You operate with a 'builder' mindset. You don't need a manual; you have the technical rigor to dive into a codebase and the 'polish' to represent the CEO in any technical forum.

Value Proposition

• The Technical 'Founder' Track: Gain a front-row seat to building an AI-first company, focusing purely on the technical and product hurdles of scaling.
• Direct Access: Work daily with the CEO and the core engineering architects.
• Pure Execution: Zero bureaucracy. You identify a technical bottleneck, you architect the solution, and you move on to the next high-impact challenge.
