We compete — and win — against ServiceNow+Moveworks, Workday Illuminate, and vertical point solutions by offering vendor-agnostic cross-functional orchestration, the broadest connector coverage in the category, and deployment timelines measured in weeks rather than quarters. We are a Series B+ company headquartered in New York, with our largest engineering hub in Gurgaon.The Role We are hiring a hands-on Tech Lead to own a pod of 4–6 engineers within our Knowledge Management / NLP org, or across adjacent agentic AI platform pods depending on fit. You will design and ship production systems that power enterprise knowledge retrieval, grounding, and agentic reasoning across the Leena.ai platform — the engine behind every customer-facing agent.This is an IC-heavy leadership role. Expect to spend roughly 60–70% of your time in code, architecture, and design reviews, and 30–40% on mentoring, planning, and cross-functional alignment.What You’ll Own Knowledge & agent architecture: Architect and ship production RAG, knowledge ingestion, and agentic reasoning pipelines that operate across enterprise systems of record (Workday, ServiceNow, SAP, Confluence, SharePoint, and many more).
