Head of Artificial Intelligence

  2026-04-15     Jecona     San Francisco,CA  
Description:

We are partnering with an AI-powered Compliance OS designed for public companies and regulated businesses to automate, draft, and verify regulatory filings. This is a pre-seed company where you are coming in at the beginning and setting the technical direction and building 0 -> 1.

They are looking for someone who is in a senior / staff / principal / lead role who has led or mentored, or someone in a more senior leadership role at a startup. The salary range is 185k-250k and can provide anywhere from 3-5% in equity.

What we are building:

  • Multi-agent orchestration (serial + parallel) using LangGraph, MCP, and PydanticAI
  • Graph-based retrieval (Graph RAG) across filings, entities, and historical disclosures
  • Reinforcement learning for consistency, hallucination reduction, and reward-based accuracy
  • Deep integration with ERP, Microsoft 365, and equity management systems — creating a single source of truth

The Role

We are looking for a true 0 to 1 builder. This will be your company as much as ours. You'll own the product - architecture, algorithms, and reliability — designing multi-agent systems that reason over structured + unstructured data and deliver auditable, regulator-ready legal outputs.

This role sits at the intersection of applied research, product, and infrastructure.

You'll:

  • Architect multi-agent systems for reasoning and verification in high-stakes workflows
  • Build graph-based retrieval and long-context scaffolding for cross-document reasoning
  • Develop RL frameworks to optimize accuracy and reduce hallucination
  • Design domain-specific prompting and chain-of-thought templates for risk disclosure with domain experts
  • Translate legal and financial logic into state machines and decision DAGs
  • Ship fast, own quality, and make the system work

What we are looking for:

  • 5+ years in ML/AI (RLHF, retrieval-augmented systems, designing few-shots learning/high quality prompts to mitigate hallucination)
  • Experience building or scaling multi-agent or graph reasoning systems
  • Strong Python skills (LLM frameworks, orchestration, cloud pipelines)
  • Experience with LangGraph, PydanticAI, or custom orchestration frameworks
  • Research or applied work in RL, CoT reasoning, or graph retrieval
  • Bias toward speed, clarity, and ownership

Nice to Have:

  • Built in high-stakes, high-accuracy domains (finance, legal, healthcare)
  • Former founder
  • Background in legal or regulated workflow
  • Advanced degree in CS, ML, or equivalent depth
  • You would describe yourself as a character in Big Bang Theory
  • Multilingual and/or global experiences
