As Solutions Engineering Lead for Consumer, you'll be a player-coach: managing and growing a team of 3 to 5 Solutions Engineers while personally owning our most strategic consumer accounts. You'll set the technical bar for how Scale designs solutions that hold up at consumer scale, build the reusable assets and playbooks your team runs on, and be the person Sales, Product, and Engineering turn to when a deal hinges on a hard performance, cost, or quality question.

What it asks for · 3

  • A strong engineering background with significant experience in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, solutions architecture, forward-deployed engineering, or technical consulting), including hands-on development in Python or similar.
  • Experience leading or mentoring technical individual contributors. Formal people management is welcome, but a credible track record as a tech lead or team lead matters more than title.
  • Experience with high-scale consumer-facing systems such as recommendation and personalization, search, content moderation, or conversational products, and real fluency in the performance and cost constraints that come with them.

Also a plus

  • Hands-on GenAI, LLM, or applied machine learning experience, especially evaluation and quality measurement at high volume.
  • Background in retail, e-commerce, media, gaming, marketplaces, or social platforms.
  • Experience standing up a new vertical, practice, or team from an early stage.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched September 18, 2026 and last changed by Scale AI on September 17, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
