Head Of Engineering

Head Of Engineering

Our client, Argon, is an AI-powered collaborative workspace designed for biopharma's commercial and clinical teams. They are tackling a critical problem in the biopharma industry: the heavily manual process of gaining insights from fragmented data. Their platform automatically gathers company research, user context, and other biopharma data to deliver comprehensive insights in a fraction of the time.

Founded in 2024, Argon is a small but rapidly expanding team of 8, backed by $5.5M in funding. The co-founders bring a wealth of experience, including expertise in enterprise pharma sales and building 0-to-1 products at both pre-seed and unicorn startups.

Our client is seeking a Head of Engineering to join their founding executive team. This is a pivotal leadership role where you will set the technical vision, drive the product roadmap, and build an elite engineering culture from the ground up. You'll be instrumental in shaping the future of their AI-powered workspace and will have a direct impact on how biopharma companies gain critical insights.

You will be responsible for:

• Defining Vision & Strategy: Setting the product and technical vision for their AI-powered workspace.
• Technical Leadership: Continuously scanning emerging AI research (LLMs, RAG, agentic AI, vector DBs) to implement cutting-edge techniques and align resources for prioritization and execution.
• Cross-functional Alignment: Acting as the "cross-functional glue" to align engineering, product, and business goals.
• Execution & Excellence: Leading execution, writing and reviewing code across the stack (React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Python), and driving rapid prototyping.
• Infrastructure Ownership: Owning their cloud-native infrastructure, including Kubernetes/EKS, ECS, SQS, VPC networking, and Tailscale.
• Team Building: Attracting, onboarding, and mentoring A+ engineering talent, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Representation: Engaging with customers, partners, and investors, and evangelizing the company's mission and AI approach at industry events.
