Engineering Team Leader - AI Application Foundation

Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it.

Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments.

We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign.

This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world.

We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign.

We’re on the lookout for a driven and experienced hands-on Engineering Team Leader to lead a group of engineers building the AI application foundation behind our next-generation cyber-AI product. 

This team owns the core backend and frontend infrastructure that powers all user-facing applications - as well as the agentic and conversational frameworks that bring intelligence and automation into the experience. 

As a hands-on leader, you’ll guide a talented team of engineers in designing and evolving the systems that enable every other Engineering group to create fast, scalable, and intelligent apps on top of our platform. 

• Lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for backend services, frontend frameworks, and AI agent infrastructure - the technical bedrock of our product experience. 
• Mentor engineers, grow the team, and foster a culture of technical excellence and innovation. 
• Design and build robust frameworks and systems that power all customer-facing applications. 
• Develop the agentic and conversational architecture enabling LLM-powered user interactions and intelligent workflows. 
• Collaborate with AI research, data, and product teams to seamlessly integrate AI-driven capabilities into production systems. 
• Define and drive the technical roadmap, ensuring scalability, developer productivity, and rapid iteration. 

• 7+ years of software development experience, with 2+ years leading and mentoring engineers. 
• Strong expertise in backend development (Go, Python, Node.js, or similar) and familiarity with modern frontend technologies (React, Vue, TypeScript, etc.). 
• Proven experience designing distributed and web application architectures. 
• Solid understanding of developer experience - how to build frameworks and tooling that enable other teams to move faster. 
• Experience working with or integrating AI systems, LLMs, or agent-based architectures. 
• Excellent collaboration skills and a startup mindset - hands-on, pragmatic, and impact-oriented. 
• A product-oriented mindset and the ability to work in a fast-paced, team-driven environment. 

Advantages: 

• Experience with agent orchestration, context management, or retrieval-augmented architectures. 
• Experience in cybersecurity. 
• Hands-on expertise in Go development. 

If you think this role doesn't fully match your skills but are eager to grow and break glass ceilings, we’d love to hear from you!
