Role
Who you are
- You have extensive experience in architecting enterprise-level systems, delivering on ambitious product visions, and building world class engineering teams
- You have worked at high-growth businesses, and might have previously started your own company
- You are highly analytical, and thinking proactively through the implications of your decisions, but also have high conviction and understand the importance of moving at pace and shipping often
- You have previously led engineering at a company from its earliest stages, and don’t shy away from the manager role - you know what great looks like, and want to help engineers grow
- You are excited to participate in cross-functional conversations about go-to-market, hiring and strategy
What the job involves
- As we scale, our technology must keep up alongside our commercial progress. To date, our biggest challenge has been that customisation is part of our value proposition. We have solved this challenge by:
- Doing things manually to understand the nuances of the data we collect (we have a Product Ops team focused on this)
- Thinking about scalable ways to collect data whilst allowing for customisation. For example, all our customers use job post data, but what they want from job posts vary
- We are in the unique situation that our commercial traction is ahead of our product. You’ll play a leading role in moving towards automation in a way that enables us to rapidly scale with increased complexity and specific customer nuances
- You’ll report to our Co-founder and CEO Anders and be part of the leadership team
- Coordinating with our product and commercial teams to make sure our technology strategy, architecture, and teams are aligned to our goals
- Leading the engineering team, and enabling them to do their most impactful work
- Evaluating and influencing our infrastructure and roadmap direction
Application process
- STAGE 1: An intro call with our CEO Anders. You’ll get an overview of Kernel, speak a bit about your own motivations, plus an opportunity to ask questions
- STAGE 2: An in-person architecture discussion with our team. It’s an opportunity for us to understand your thinking and ability to reason and iterate on the design of complicated systems architecture
- STAGE 3: An in-person leadership interview with Marcus and Sam. This will be an opportunity for us to understand your decision-making and collaboration skills in the context of real commercial and technical scenarios you would face in the role
- STAGE 4: A values interview with Anders and Marcus
- If there’s excitement on both sides, we’ll make you an offer!
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Company revenue and sales teams spend considerable time manually researching potential leads and customers, ascertaining if these potential clients are suffering from the problem their product is solving. Trawling through lead job descriptions and non-public financial data is a lengthy process, especially if you’re trying to infer information from them. Kernel.AI, formerly known as Momentum AI, saves revenue and sales team time with its fleet of AI Agents.
Kernel’s AI agents can be synced to Salesforce accounts to automate research into potential leads. The software maximises revenue and saves teams insurmountable time by building lists of potential customers. Growing enterprises such as GoCardless and FlatPay use Kernel to speed up their lead list.
The AI sales agents market was valued at $5.1 billion in 2024. By 2030, it’s expected to grow to $47.1 billion, indicating a lucrative space for Kernel. Launched by a founder who has already successfully launched two companies, Kernel shows plenty of promise as it builds itself up from 2023 seed funding.
