INTRODUCTION

Kroll is building AI-enabled internal products that materially accelerate how our advisory professionals work. This role is not traditional software engineering. It is AI-orchestrated product development.

The Lead Engineer will own end-to-end build streams—designing, developing, testing, and shipping internal tools that enhance core workflows across valuation, investigations, restructuring, cyber, and compliance. You will operate as a force multiplier by leveraging agentic coding systems and multi-agent orchestration to compress development cycles while maintaining production-grade quality.

This role requires technical depth, architectural judgment, and fluency in AI-driven development paradigms.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

1. End-to-End Product Ownership

• Own full-stack development of AI-enabled internal products
• Translate workflow requirements into scalable application architectures
• Deliver production-grade systems—not prototypes—aligned with enterprise security and governance requirements
• Maintain accountability for performance, reliability, and maintainability

2. Agentic Development & Multi-Agent Orchestration

• Design and orchestrate swarms of coding agents to:

• Generate modular code components

• Refactor and optimize legacy code
• Write and execute test suites

• Generate documentation and developer artifacts

• Use tools such as Claude Code and related agentic frameworks to accelerate development cycles

• Build repeatable development pipelines that combine human oversight with AI execution
• Architect guardrails for deterministic outputs, version control integrity, and testing validation

3. AI-Accelerated Engineering Lifecycle

Leverage AI across the entire SDLC:

• UX wireframing and rapid interface prototyping
• Schema design and backend service scaffolding
• Automated test generation and regression testing
• Performance tuning and debugging support
• CI/CD pipeline enhancement

You are expected to apply AI not only to coding, but to product design, QA, and documentation.

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Product and AI Transformation leaders to prioritize high-impact workflow tools
• Work directly with service line stakeholders to understand domain constraints and regulatory considerations
• Collaborate with data and ML engineers when integrating models or AI services
• Ensure defensibility, security, and compliance alignment in all builds

QUALIFICATIONS

Required Experience

• 6–10+ years of full-stack software engineering experience
• Proven experience building and shipping production systems
• Deep familiarity with modern web frameworks (frontend and backend)
• Strong architectural design capability

AI-Native Engineering Capability

• Demonstrated proficiency with agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code or equivalent)
• Experience orchestrating multi-agent workflows for development tasks
• Comfort designing systems where AI is embedded into the build process itself
• Ability to evaluate, validate, and supervise AI-generated code rigorously

Technical Breadth

• Frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js or similar)
• Backend development (Node, Python, or similar)
• API design and integration
• Cloud-native architecture
• Automated testing frameworks and CI/CD

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Internal tools that materially reduce advisory workflow cycle times
• High code quality despite accelerated build cycles
• AI-driven development pipelines that reduce time-to-ship by 30–60%
• Repeatable patterns for agentic development institutionalized across the team
