About Us
Daat Lab is an innovative AI venture studio dedicated to partnering with businesses to translate deep domain expertise into high-value, commercially viable AI products. Our mission is to help companies discover and validate impactful, AI-driven use cases. From initial ideation and proof of concept development to full-scale commercialization and market launch, we are committed to excellence in every phase of product development. Our diverse portfolio covers various sectors, including real estate, digital marketing/e-commerce, and healthcare, with an ambitious goal of introducing a new product each month.
About the Role
We are on the lookout for a dynamic Technical Lead who will spearhead product development from concept to launch, ensuring a strong focus on customer needs. This hands-on role thrives in ambiguous environments and requires oversight of the entire product lifecycle across multiple projects. You will work closely with our strategy and business teams to pinpoint high-value, AI-compatible opportunities, guiding product direction through swift execution of discovery, prototyping, building, shipping, and iteration.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead multiple projects from inception to completion: brainstorming product concepts, generating proof of concepts (POCs), and overseeing builds to deliver a minimum viable product (MVP).
- Develop full-stack applications encompassing backend, frontend, data layer, infrastructure, deployment, and monitoring.
- Explore AI functionalities across various cases, including classical machine learning (forecasting, scoring, classification) and LLM/agent workflows with evaluation loops.
- Establish and uphold engineering standards, including code quality, CI/CD practices, logging/analytics, and basic security measures.
- Collaborate with design partners and deliver weekly updates on progress.
- Mentor and recruit as the team expands.
Requirements
- Minimum qualifications include:
- 6+ years of experience in shipping full-stack products from start to finish.
- Proficiency in Python and modern web technologies (React/Next.js + APIs + databases + deployment).
- Solid understanding of data processing and machine learning fundamentals (pandas, Sklearn, PyTorch/TensorFlow, model evaluation).
- Experience with LLMs and agent frameworks (OpenAI SDK, Google ADK, Langchain/Langraph, MCP).
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and adapt to fast-paced, customer-facing iterations.
- Proven team leadership experience (manager or tech lead).
- What Success Looks Like:
- Deliver multiple POCs that effectively validate feasibility and return on investment (ROI).
- Transform at least one concept into a usable MVP with feedback loops from design partners.
- Establish foundational engineering practices (CI/CD, logging, analytics, environments) that can scale.
Benefits
- Competitive salary range: $160,000 - $200,000 (initially as a 1099 contractor, transitioning to full-time).
