Head of Engineering

ABOUT ABUNDANT As the need for scaling data becomes the core bottleneck to progress, moving from general knowledge to domain expertise, and from chatbots to agents. Abundant is solving this by designing and operating simulation infrastructure where next-generation models learn to reason and solve complex problems.   Our team is composed of high-impact former founders, ML engineers, roboticists, and data leads from companies like Waymo and Google, with experience deploying models at 1B user scale. We partner with a majority of the top AI labs, frontier startups, and F500 enterprises to enable AGI, ASI, and physical intelligence. THE ROLE As Head of Engineering, you will work directly with the founding team and CTO to develop our customer-facing products and internal infrastructure and tooling, as well as scale and grow a team of engineers. As part of this role, you will lead the Core Platform, which includes the core simulation engine, data creation and curation tooling, data validation pipelines, experimentation platform, and operations management. The platform supports all of the functions within Abundant, from research to operations to customer delivery. WHAT YOU’LL DO In your first 30 days, you will take over key parts of the core simulation engine, adding new features or improving performance, driving key metrics such as throughput and cost. You will own an infrastructure budget of $Xmm and lead the transition from a monolithic application to a modular architecture capable of handling 10B+ events and hundreds of users monthly. As an early engineer, you'll spend 80% of your time coding initially. The rest of your time will be working directly with our recruiter to build out a world-class engineering team. WHO YOU ARE Technically fluent : Deep understanding of evaluations, RL, and how LLMs and Agents work. Research-oriented — Able to read papers and keep up with SOTA literature. Extreme owner — You have extreme agency and a founder mentality; you are resourceful and scrappy. Creative problem solver — You leverage creativity and research skills to design projects from the ground up. Must be highly proficient with coding agents such as Codex or Claude Code.
