About Cadre AI

Cadre AI is an AI strategy and integration firm that builds production AI systems for B2B companies in private equity, wholesale lending, real estate, and SaaS. We do not build decks about what AI could do. We ship systems that move revenue, compress costs, and automate the work that used to take entire teams.

The Role

As Director of AI Engineering, you sit at the intersection of technical depth and engineering leadership. You are a skilled builder who still gets hands-on with the hardest problems, and a people leader who owns the growth, delivery, and quality of a team of 3 to 5 engineers. You report to the Head of AI Engineering and serve as their closest thought partner on technical direction, team structure, and how Cadre's engineering capability evolves.

You make sure the whole team executes well and that the work stays connected to client outcomes and strategic priorities. You own delivery across multiple engagements simultaneously, catch problems before they become fires, and bring the judgment to know when to push forward and when to escalate.



You communicate as fluently with clients and strategists as you do with engineers.

You thrive here if you are energized by growing people, shaping technical strategy, and still want to be close enough to the code to know when something is wrong.
