[Hiring] Technical Lead - AI Native @Hunt St

Role Description

We are looking for a Technical Lead (AI-Native) who can take ownership of end-to-end technical delivery across client projects. This is not purely a traditional coding role. Our studio operates with an AI-native development approach, where engineers focus on thinking, architecture, and specification, while leveraging AI tools to generate much of the implementation.

You will combine technical leadership, hands-on development, AI-driven workflows, and client communication to ensure projects move from concept to launch successfully.

• Own end-to-end delivery of client projects from scoping and architecture through development and launch.
• Act as the technical lead and decision-maker, selecting the right stack, tools, and engineering approach for each project.
• Build across the full stack (frontend, backend, and infrastructure), often acting as the primary engineer on early-stage builds.
• Work using an AI-native development workflow, writing detailed specifications and directing AI tools to generate implementation while reviewing and guiding the output.
• Leverage AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude, Copilot, and similar platforms to accelerate delivery and improve engineering productivity.
• Communicate clearly with clients during weekly update calls, translating technical progress into insights that non-technical stakeholders understand.
• Manage delivery timelines and quality, proactively identifying risks and ensuring projects ship successfully.

Qualifications

• Comfortable building across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure. Able to quickly learn new tools and frameworks when needed.
• Frontend: React, Next.js, React Native
• Backend: Python, Node.js, TypeScript
• Infrastructure: Cloud services (AWS, GCP, or similar)
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Copilot) where the focus is on defining requirements, writing specifications, and guiding AI-generated code.
• Has mobile development experience for both Android/iOS.
• Ability to make architecture decisions, evaluate trade-offs, and lead projects from concept to production.
• Able to clearly explain technical progress and updates to non-technical stakeholders.
• Self-driven, adaptable, and comfortable taking responsibility for delivery in fast-moving environments.

Requirements

• This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.
• To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:
• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work.
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”).
