About the Role

We are looking for a Lead AI Architect to join OneCruit as the first and most critical engineering hire. This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll be responsible for building AI systems from the ground up, protecting our IP, and scaling real-world client deliverables. As the company grows, this role will evolve into leading and growing a team. This is an opportunity to shape the technical foundation of OneCruit’s AI initiatives across recruiting, legal, logistics, and beyond.

What You’ll Do

Architect, build, and deploy AI-driven systems across multiple industries.
Lead development of:
    • AI Recruiting Scraper – scalable tool to source and deliver candidate data from platforms like LinkedIn.
    • Agentic Paralegals – autonomous AI paralegals available 24/7 as lower-cost client support.
    • Oil & Gas RFP Automation – AI system to identify opportunities, draft proposals, and streamline applications.
    • AI-driven Logistics Platform – logistics automation for a new SDVOSB serving enterprise clients.
    • Blockchain File System Integration – solutions to secure AI agents against replication/theft.
    • Build prototypes/tests during the interview process (e.g., small agent projects).
    • Work across cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) to deploy and scale solutions.
    • Eventually lead and mentor a team of engineers as the organization grows.


What We’re Looking For

  • AI-focused software engineer/architect with strong experience building agentic AI systems (autonomous agents).
  • Cloud-native experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Language-agnostic: comfortable working across platforms and programming languages.
  • 3+ years of AI-specific experience (we’re open to depth over years on paper).
  • Strong architectural mindset: ability to design, build, and scale systems.

Why Join OneCruit?

  • Be the first engineering hire driving the foundation of our AI strategy.
  • Work directly on impactful, client-facing systems across multiple industries.
  • Combine hands-on coding with high-level architecture and leadership.
  • Join a company that values innovation, autonomy, and building practical, scalable AI solutions.
