Reporting to the VP of Engineering, the R&D Lead is a new, staff-level engineering role dedicated entirely to forward-looking technical discovery, agentic workflow research, and landscape intelligence. This is a maker and researcher role, not an operational or managerial one.
As the founding member of our R&D function, you will tackle the "hard problems" on our roadmap, providing the technical proof-of-concepts that will define our future product offerings. You are physically embedded in our APAC team to stay close to the AI Governance and Risk Intelligence domains—the primary consumers of your research output. In this role, you aren't just building features; you are defining the technical bedrock of a new category.
