VP of Technology

Developer platform (APIs, SDKs, tooling, observability)

Who We Are We're Journee — The Human AI company.

We build real‑time conversational AI agents for enterprise brands, powered by our own low‑latency streaming and AI infrastructure. Our proprietary low‑latency streaming and GPU orchestration infrastructure powers interactive AI experiences used by companies like BMW, H&M, Siemens, WWF, and Condé Nast.

We recently launched

Ojin , our developer platform for building and scaling real‑time AI agents. It provides the APIs, inference infrastructure, and orchestration layer needed to run conversational AI systems in production.

The Role This is a

hands‑on technical leadership

role.

You will lead a team of up to 10 engineers (ML, backend, frontend, infra), while remaining deeply involved in architecture, performance optimization, and product direction. We're looking for a

high energy builder

— someone ambitious, technically sharp, and excited to grow into a CTO level leader over time.

This is for someone who wants to build something meaningful and take ownership of a real system — not just manage one.

What You’ll Own Architecture & Technical Direction

Own overall system architecture across:

Conversational AI systems (LLMs, orchestration, real‑time inference)

Voice + avatar pipelines (latency‑sensitive systems)

Developer platform (APIs, SDKs, tooling, observability)

Drive our cloud infrastructure strategy (AWS/GCP/Azure). Ensure scalability, reliability, and enterprise‑grade security.

Performance & ML Systems

Optimize real‑time AI inference (latency, throughput, cost)

Improve orchestration of models (LLMs, TTS/STT, and related components)

Design systems that handle high concurrency at enterprise scale

Balance latency, cost, and product quality across deployments

Developer Platform

Lead API architecture and SDK strategy

Improve developer onboarding and self‑serve capabilities

Build scalable abstractions for agent creation and deployment

Strengthen observability, debugging, and developer tooling across the platform

Team & Culture

Lead and mentor a team of up to 10 engineers

Attract and hire strong technical talent

Set a culture of ownership, velocity, and accountability

Keep planning and delivery lightweight, focused, and effective

Hands‑On Contribution

Review architecture and critical code paths

Prototype and unblock high‑impact work

Step into performance or production challenges when needed

What We’re Looking For

8‑12+ years in engineering, including leadership experience

Experience leading engineering teams (5+ engineers)

Strong cloud architecture background (AWS/GCP/Azure)

Deep understanding of distributed systems and scalable backend architecture, including APIs and platform design

Experience running ML systems in production

Strong full‑stack understanding (backend + frontend)

Experience working directly with founders

Highly Valuable Experience

ML inference performance optimization

Real‑time/low‑latency systems

Building developer platforms or APIs at scale

Startup or scale‑up background

Profile Fit

Builder mentality — not just a manager

High ownership and strong execution energy

Comfortable with ambiguity

Product minded, not purely infrastructure driven

Willing to lead and code

What Success Looks Like (12 Months)

Reduced latency and optimized inference costs

Developer onboarding simplified and platform adoption increased

Enterprise‑grade reliability and scalability across customer deployments

Clear technical roadmap aligned with product strategy

A strong culture of ownership and execution

Team grown to 15–20 high quality engineers

Why Join

Real product‑market validation

Revenue‑generating AI platform

Real traction in enterprise conversational AI

Direct impact on architecture and culture

Opportunity to grow into CTO

Journee is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.
