[Hiring] Lead Technologist @Whiteshield

Role Description

We’re looking for a seasoned technologist who thrives in AI-enabled environments and understands how to amplify engineering output using modern AI tooling. You won’t just manage projects; you will define how AI-driven digital excellence happens here; setting standards for prompt engineering, code generation workflows, automated QA, intelligent documentation, and continuous learning systems.

You’re a senior-level engineer with a wide-ranging technical toolkit and a strong bias toward leveraging AI to increase velocity and quality. You’ve built and shipped products, integrated AI into real delivery pipelines, and know how to move from concept to production under pressure. You’re comfortable orchestrating AI copilots, designing human-in-the-loop systems, and embedding automation across the SDLC. You’re also client-savvy, able to lead conversations, uncover needs, manage stakeholders, and translate business objectives into technical and AI-enabled delivery strategies.

You thrive in fast-paced environments where agility, experimentation, and initiative are essential; and where AI is a core multiplier of team performance.
