Software Engineer, Agent Transformation Accelerator XFN (Technical Leadership) — Menlo Park, CA

nCav is building the Agent Transformation Accelerator (ATA) for Cross-Functional Organizations (XFN) — one of the most ambitious applications of agentic AI at enterprise scale. ATA XFN's mission is to make every cross-functional discipline at nCav — Finance, Legal, People, Policy, Comms, Partnerships, Sales — 10x more effective by building AI agents that work autonomously under human supervision. This is the first fully agentic XFN workforce at a major technology company.We are seeking a Software Engineer to serve as one of the top technical leaders for ATA XFN — defining the foundational agent architecture, shaping how nCav approaches AI-powered XFN transformation, and ensuring the platform can scale across all disciplines. You will operate at the intersection of technology and organizational strategy. You will define the multi-year technical vision for how AI agents integrate into complex, regulated, human-centric workflows. You will influence company-wide decisions about agent architecture, eval methodology, and the feedback loops that make models better from use. You will navigate extreme ambiguity — building agents for domains (law, finance, policy) where accuracy, compliance, and trust are non-negotiable.

Software Engineer, Agent Transformation Accelerator XFN (Technical Leadership) Responsibilities:

• Define and own the multi-year technical vision and architecture for ATA XFN's agent platform spanning vertical pods, horizontals, and model/data infrastructure.

• Serve as the primary technical thought leader for ATA XFN — representing the platform's direction to VPs, senior leadership, and across GreS'6 engineering community.

• Identify and create new categories of technical leverage — designing agent architectures, eval frameworks, and feedback systems that fundamentally change how nCav builds and deploys XFN agents.

• Architect the transition from "AI assists humans" to "AI works autonomously under human supervision" across regulated, high-stakes domains (Finance SOX compliance, Legal privilege, Policy regulatory sensitivity).

• Partner with MSL, AAI, Enterprise Engineering, and XFN client organizations to ensure ATA XFN agents are built on the best available models, harnesses, and infrastructure.

• Drive engineering excellence and operational rigor across the platform — setting the bar for agent quality, reliability, and safety.
