Job description
About the role
We are looking for an experienced engineering leader to drive the strategy, execution, and growth of Hex’s state‑of‑the‑art AI context platform.
Our ambition is simple but powerful: Hex should get better every time you use it. With tens of thousands of people relying on Hex daily to do deep analytical work, we are uniquely positioned to learn from usage and continuously improve the intelligence of our system.
The Context Studio is at the heart of this vision. It is the surface area where users can understand how AI agents interact with their data, identify where quality falls short, and actively improve the context that drives better outcomes. We are building an entirely new development lifecycle for context, one that blends human insight with automated learning and iteration.
The broader AI landscape is evolving quickly, and our team is tackling foundational questions such as how to detect and debug failures in agent reasoning, how to structure and manage business context effectively, how to balance human‑in‑the‑loop systems with autonomous improvement, and how to integrate our context layer with the growing ecosystem of AI‑powered tools and workflows.
What you will do
Lead an organization of multiple teams working on Hex’s context platform
Serve as people manager for line‑level engineering managers, tech leads, and senior ICs, setting a high bar and empowering them to do their best work
Recruit exceptional engineering talent, growing to a team of at least 15 software engineers
Drive technical strategy, review designs, and occasionally get hands on to move the needle
About You
5+ years experience leading engineering teams working on complex, data‑intensive, or AI‑driven products and SaaS platforms
Exceptional ability to identify and design the right technical abstractions to accelerate an ambitious and evolving product vision
Deep curiosity for, and strong intuition about, state‑of‑the‑art AI agent behavior and context systems
Proven track record as a people manager, with experience (or clear potential) managing managers and scaling high‑performing teams
Brings a clear playbook for building high‑performing teams: setting clear technical standards, hiring and developing strong talent, and creating environments where extraordinary engineers can do their best work
Deeply technical leader who is not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get hands on when necessary
Our stack
Our product is a web‑based notebook and app authoring platform. Our frontend is built with Typescript and React, using a combination of Apollo GraphQL and Redux for managing application state and data. On the backend, we also use Typescript to power an Express/Apollo GraphQL server that interacts with Postgres, Redis, and Kubernetes to manage our database and Python kernels. Our backend is tightly integrated with our infrastructure and CI/CD, where we use a combination of Terraform, Helm, and AWS to deploy and maintain our stack.
Location & Compensation
This is a full‑time role, based out of our New York, NY office hub. Employees are encouraged to come into the office at least twice a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being our main in‑person days.
In addition to our unique culture, Hex proudly offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market‑bench salary & equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off.
Salary range: $262,000-$348,500
