$215K–$260K + Equity

Company Description

Infilla is a $5M-backed, profitable GovTech startup building agentic AI operating systems to modernize permitting for state and local governments. Backed by Basis Set, Base10, and Bloomberg Beta, they serve major municipalities like NYC and San Francisco to accelerate housing construction by automating complex regulatory workflows.

Job Description

As Head of Engineering, you will lead a distributed team of seven engineers while remaining 50-70% hands-on in the code. Reporting to the CEO, you'll architect AI-native systems using LLMs and computer vision to replace legacy government processes. You will own engineering execution end-to-end, defining the technical culture for a rapidly scaling organization.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

Path to technical co-founder partnership for a leader who proves their impact through execution and building a high-velocity engineering culture.
Work on high-leverage agentic AI systems—not just chatbots—that directly solve the housing crisis by automating government bottlenecks for millions of citizens.
Join a durable, profitable business with zero customer churn and contracts that expand annually, backed by elite investors like Bloomberg Beta and Base10.

What You Will Do

Own engineering execution and delivery end-to-end, maintaining a 50-70% individual contributor load while scaling a distributed team across the US and Nigeria.
Architect and implement agentic workflows using React, Node, and Postgres, leveraging LLMs, computer vision, and voice AI to automate permit processing.
Partner with the CEO to make critical architectural decisions that protect the company’s moat and ensure engineering becomes a primary competitive advantage.

The ideal candidate

Proven experience leading engineering teams of 6+ at early-stage B2B startups, with a track record of shipping 0-to-1 products to enterprise customers.
Expert hands-on fluency across the full stack (React, Node, Postgres, AWS) and deep experience building production-grade data infrastructure and AI-native systems.
Strong background in managing distributed or offshore engineering teams and a desire to work in a high-ownership, hybrid San Francisco-based environment.

How does this work?

Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
