About Volition Partners

Volition Partners is redefining how companies measure and improve performance. Our Volition Index is a proprietary framework that quantifies the core drivers of organizational success—strategy, operations, culture, and leadership. We’re now building this into a B2B SaaS platform, leveraging AI, machine learning, and advanced data analytics to provide actionable insights to executives, investors, and boards.

 

The Role

We need a Technical Lead who thrives at the intersection of data science, engineering, and AI-driven decision-making. You will:

  • Own the architecture of our AI-driven analytics platform

  • Design and implement data models that quantify complex organizational dynamics

  • Lead hands-on development, from backend systems to AI models (Python, SQL, cloud infrastructure)

  • Build and optimize scalable data pipelines for structured and unstructured data

  • Work closely with the founder on product vision, technical strategy, and investor communications

  • Be comfortable with ambiguity—we’re building something new, and you’ll be shaping it from the ground up

 

Who You Are

  • Deep engineering expertise, ideally in data science, AI/ML, and scalable SaaS architectures

  • Experience designing data-driven platforms and working with large datasets

  • Hands-on coder, but also able to set technical direction and scale a team

  • Excited about working in an early-stage, high-risk, high-equity environment

  • Passionate about how AI can transform decision-making in organizations

Experience

  • 7–12 years of experience in software engineering, data science, or AI/ML development

  • At least 3–5 years in a technical leadership role, leading architecture decisions and mentoring teams

  • Experience in a startup or high-growth environment—someone who’s comfortable building from scratch and working with ambiguity

 

What’s in It for You?

  • Substantial equity stake in a company at the frontier of applied AI

  • Opportunity to build a category-defining B2B SaaS product

  • Direct partnership with an experienced founder with a strong track record in fundraising and scaling companies
