Tech Lead — AI Infra & Security - Dotcompliance

We’re looking for a Tech Lead to be the company-wide focal point for AI utilization, infrastructure, and security — across both our core compliance platform and the Agentic Suite. This is a hands-on technical authority role, not a management track: you'll lead a small team (2-5 engineers) while spending most of your time driving how the company builds with AI, not on people management. You'll report to the Agentic BU owner. 

Responsibilities

• Own the company's AI infrastructure — model access, tooling, evaluation, cost/performance tradeoffs — across all engineering teams 
• Drive AI-native R&D transformation: bring agentic development practices into day-to-day engineering workflows, not just the product 
• Own AI-related security posture: data handling, model/tool access control, secure use of third-party AI services 
• Be the go-to technical authority other teams pull in when adopting AI tooling or agentic patterns 
• Lead a small team (2-5 engineers) building and maintaining shared AI infra and tooling 
• Identify workflow inefficiencies across R&D and drive the infra/tooling changes that fix them 

• 5+ years leading engineering teams or technical initiatives at the intersection of infra, tooling, and delivery 
• Direct, hands-on experience driving an AI-native R&D transformation — not just using AI tools, but changing how a team builds with them 
• Proven track record of measurably improving R&D workflow efficiency (not just proposing it) 
• Strong technical depth in infrastructure and security — able to make and defend architecture-level calls 
• Comfortable operating as an individual technical leader — influence through expertise, not org size 

Nice to have 

• Experience in a regulated or compliance-heavy environment 
• Background with agent frameworks (LangGraph or similar) and MCP-based tool architectures 
• Experience with AI infra security specifically (model access control, data isolation, audit logging for AI systems)
