Madhive is seeking an AI Code Engineering Lead to make our engineering dramatically faster with AI-native practice and tooling. Madhive is an R&D company; engineering velocity is the leverage point.

You'll build and scale our agentic coding platform — the tooling and workflows that let AI generate production code with engineers reviewing rather than writing it. This is a hands-on role: you'll work directly with engineering teams to ship acceleration fast, then turn what works into reusable building blocks the whole org can use. You'll lead through technical credibility and influence.

• →

  Own AI-native engineering practice, the eval harness, reusable AI building blocks, and developer tooling that dramatically raise output.

• →

  Manage a portfolio of velocity V1s, ensuring each is integrated into the CTO’s org (which owns architecture, delivery, and V2).

• →

  Facilitate smooth handoffs to the engineering organization; ensure every acceleration V1 lands in the CTO’s org with a named owner identified upfront.

• →

  Codify what works into reusable "golden path" playbooks — deployment patterns, connector and building-block templates, evaluation frameworks, and observability standards — and feed field learnings back to platform teams so wins compound across the org.
