United States onlyAbout Us
Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.
About the Role
Red Cell Partners is hiring a Builder — an AI‑first engineer who thrives at the intersection of product thinking, technical execution, and operational problem‑solving. This role is not about traditional full‑stack development or deep specialization in a single language. Instead, it is about:
Understanding what to build.
Breaking down ambiguous problems into actionable components.
Using modern AI‑augmented development workflows to deliver fast, high‑quality software.
Operating like an early‑stage founder: autonomous, resourceful, scrappy, and business‑aware.
Builders are multipliers. They combine engineering intuition, business context, and AI‑enabled tooling to produce outcomes an order of magnitude faster than a traditional engineer. If your workflow looks like AI‑enhanced context generation, rapid decomposition, skills/agent configuration, automated pipelines, and iterative prompt‑driven development — we want to talk.
Responsibilities
AI‑First Software Development
Break down product or business problems into clear technical components and implementation steps.
Use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, cloud‑based coding agents, prompt‑driven scaffolding) to design, build, and refine systems end‑to‑end.
Configure and maintain AI‑assisted development workflows: skills, agents, context blocks, pipelines, tests, and automation.
Operational Excellence
Behave like an operator: understand business objectives, evaluate tradeoffs, and define what needs to be built before building it.
Adapt quickly to new information, change directions, and incorporate evolving requirements.
Product + Execution
Build early prototypes, internal tools, automation workflows, APIs, and small applications used across the Red Cell ecosystem.
Contribute to company‑wide initiatives including:
New Incubation/Startup development
Ecosystem tooling and developer workflows
What “Great” Looks Like
You use AI as your co‑developer, not as a convenience.
You can explain your workflow — how you structure prompts, how you configure agents, and how you evaluate quality.
You prefer clarity of problem decomposition over lines of code.
You are calm when things break and can reason from first principles.
You track the frontier and quickly adopt new tools without needing months of onboarding.
You enjoy ambiguity and creating order from chaos.
Qualifications
Strong technical background (software engineering, ML, mobile, systems, or similar).
Demonstrated use of AI tooling in real development work.
Ability to explain how you break down problems, define context, and structure workflows.
Experience building systems end‑to‑end (products, tools, prototypes, integrations, SDKs, automations).
Entrepreneurial or operator mindset — you’ve built things without being told exactly how.
Nice to Have
ML model development experience.
Experience building SDKs or developer‑facing tools.
Experience with workflow automation systems.
Experience in early‑stage startups or founder‑like roles.
Exposure to robotics, DoD, or applied sciences (nice‑to‑have, not required).
Salary Range: $200,000-300,000. This represents the typical base salary range for this position based on experience, skills, and other factors.
