Ready to be part of the experience?
Now, let’s discuss this role and what you will do to help achieve Fever’s mission.
The Role
We're looking for a Lead AI Engineer to drive Fever's company-wide AI transformation. This is a powerful 50% leadership, 50% hands-on building role designed for someone who sits right at the intersection of human operations and advanced AI engineering. We are not looking for a theoretical manager who focus on KPIs, nor a developer who only wants to code in isolation.
We need a hybrid leader. Half of your time will be spent interacting with stakeholders across business domains (Operations, Creative, Support), shadowing them to understand their manual workflows, and identifying where AI can genuinely give them their time back. The other half will be spent in the trenches: designing the technical architecture, writing production code, and building internal AI products—like advanced chatbots, agents, and automated workflows—alongside a small, high-performance squad.The Role

What You'll Do
- Stakeholder Management & Discovery (50%): Partner with internal business leaders to audit their current manual processes. Act as a translator: understand their operational bottlenecks, manage expectations on what AI can do, and shape those needs into a clear AI product features.
- Hands-on Engineering & Architecture (50%): Design, code, and deploy advanced AI systems (LLM applications, agentic workflows, RAG, and custom chatbots) that solve those operational pain points and scale seamlessly.
- Lead & Mentor: Build and lead a small, agile team of AI engineers. Lead by example by contributing to the codebase, setting high standards for code craftsmanship, and fostering a culture of high-velocity shipping.
