About the role
IndustriAI is building a proprietary AI-native investment platform for non-operated oil & gas investing, expanding into other mineral and energy assets. It's an internal tool — our competitive edge, not a product for sale. Working prototypes exist and development is well underway; you'll help shape the design and drive the system to maturity.
You'll be the senior technical owner of the platform: a player-coach who sets the architecture, leads a small team, and stays in the code.
What you'll build
Agentic data acquisition: pipelines and agents pulling ownership/title, production, regulatory, permit, and geological data from public and commercial sources
ML models for high-grading assets: screening and ranking opportunities by geology, well economics, and operator quality Valuation and pricing models for non-op participation decisions LLM-based intelligence for regulatory, legal, land, and title analysis
What we're looking for
You've personally built a complete data-to-decision system — ingestion, database, models, application — not just one layer of it
Judgment about when to use an LLM vs. a pipeline vs. a trained model, and the rigor to validate outputs that inform real investment decisions Solid stats/ML foundation (forecasting, ranking, probabilistic modeling) Hands-on experience with LLMs, RAG, and agent frameworks (LangGraph or similar) 7+ years in software/ML engineering; experience leading or mentoring engineers Oil & gas familiarity is a plus, not a requirement
Why this role
Small team, no legacy code, full technical ownership, and real capital riding on what you build. Title is flexible (Director / Head of AI / Principal Engineer) depending on your seniority.
