Founding Lead Engineer / Principal Systems Architect

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Founding Lead Engineer / Principal Systems Architect based in the United States.

This is a foundational engineering role responsible for designing and building a next-generation evidence-governed AI and data platform from the ground up. The work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, data architecture, and applied AI in high-trust, regulated environments such as healthcare integrity and compliance-heavy domains. You will operate at both strategic and hands-on levels, translating abstract system concepts into production-grade software, scalable infrastructure, and validated workflows. The role demands deep technical ownership, from data modeling and service design to model integration and secure deployment. You will collaborate closely with a concept architect to shape system architecture in real time and rapidly turn ideas into working prototypes. This is a high-impact, founding-level opportunity to define core technical foundations that will scale across multiple regulated industries. The environment is fast-moving, ambiguous, and deeply engineering-driven, with strong emphasis on correctness, auditability, and security.
