TEAM & ROLE
Benepass is scaling quickly, and the complexity of our product, engineering, and operational surface demands a modern, intelligence-driven approach to how work gets done. We are looking for a Lead AI Systems Engineer (P5) to build our internal AI platform from the ground up; from 0→1 foundation-building to 1→2 maturity and scale.
This role is deeply technical, highly strategic, and critical to Benepass’s velocity. You will own the AI systems roadmap and architect a shared internal AI platform that starts with the engineering SDLC, and is explicitly designed to scale into automation and agentic systems across the company (Operations, Product, Design, Support, and other internal workflows).
You’ll sit as a Staff IC in Platform Engineering, owning the platform while selectively embedding with teams to drive real adoption. Engineering is the first beachhead: coding assistants, CI/CD, quality automation, and knowledge systems. The platform primitives you build—agents, tools, retrieval, evaluations, permissions, and workflow runners—should generalize beyond Engineering so Benepass can automate high-leverage work company-wide without reinventing the stack each time.
This is a force-multiplier role. Near-term success looks like faster PR and cycle times, higher AI-tool adoption, faster and more reliable automated testing, better knowledge findability, and a measurably better developer experience. Longer-term success looks like the same platform powering durable automation outside the SDLC—SOPs, operational workflows, cross-functional knowledge, and internal systems—with clear ROI and adoption.
This is not a research/data-science role, a customer-facing product-ML role, a prompt-only chatbot job, or a manual process-ownership seat. This role is for a Staff-level technical leader who builds full-stack AI systems end-to-end, with strong platform, developer-tools, and infrastructure instincts. Your mission is to build the AI-powered guardrails and accelerators that let Benepass move faster, with higher confidence, and with less toil—first in Engineering, then across the company.
YOU WILL
BUILD BENEPASS’S SHARED AI PLATFORM (0→1 AND 1→2)
- Own the design and implementation of Benepass’s internal AI platform and strategy—engineered for company-wide leverage, not an Engineering-only toolchain.
- Use the engineering SDLC as the first beachhead, while designing platform primitives that extend cleanly to Operations and other internal functions.
- Stand up a pragmatic platform that combines industry-leading tools (e.g., Cursor and peers) with in-house systems, integrations, and shared infrastructure.
- Define the architecture for how models, tools, context, evaluations, secrets, and permissions are composed safely inside Benepass.
- Build reusable primitives: agents, tool interfaces, retrieval/context layers, workflow runners, observability, and feedback loops.
- Establish the foundation for reliable environments, secure access to internal systems and data, and patterns that new domains can adopt without a ground-up rebuild.
ACCELERATE THE ENGINEERING SDLC WITH AI
- Drive AI-assisted coding, review, and delivery workflows that compress time from idea → PR → production.
- Integrate AI into CI/CD so quality signals, summaries, risk checks, and developer feedback show up where engineers already work.
- Identify SDLC bottlenecks (local dev, code review, test wait time, release friction, knowledge gaps) and remove them with automation.
- Measure what matters: PR/cycle time, adoption, developer satisfaction/DX, test speed & signal, and time-to-find knowledge.
- Turn successful team-level experiments into platform defaults that scale across Engineering—and inform patterns for non-eng domains.
ENABLE AI-DRIVEN QUALITY, TESTING, AND RELEASE CONFIDENCE
- Own the strategy for AI-driven test generation, maintenance, and automation—especially where it unlocks broad end-to-end coverage.
- Build systems that help engineers own quality: high-signal E2E coverage, faster feedback, lower flakiness, and less manual validation.
- Partner with Platform and product teams to put intelligent quality gates into CI/CD and deployment workflows.
- Use AI to improve regression detection, failure triage, and the loop from requirements → test plan → execution → root-cause analysis.
- Create clarity on ownership: what quality belongs to every engineer vs. what the AI/platform layer provides as shared leverage.
BUILD AGENTIC WORKFLOWS AND KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS (ENG → COMPANY-WIDE)
- Design and ship agentic internal workflows that automate multi-step work, not just single-prompt assistants; starting in Engineering and expanding to other teams.
- Build knowledge/search systems so people and agents can find specs, decisions, runbooks, SOPs, and operational context quickly.
- Connect agents to the systems teams already use (repos, CI, docs, issue trackers, ops tools, internal dashboards) with clear permissions and auditability.
- Prioritize workflows with obvious ROI: repetitive operational toil, cross-repo changes, test authoring, incident/context gathering, onboarding, and cross-functional SOPs.
- Ensure these systems are observable, evaluable, and maintainable—and that the same platform can host automation outside the eng SDLC without forking the architecture.
PARTNER ACROSS THE COMPANY AS A PLATFORM FORCE MULTIPLIER
- Operate as a Staff IC on Platform: set direction, build the core, and embed selectively where adoption and design feedback matter most.
- Collaborate with engineers early so systems are testable, scriptable, and easy to integrate into existing workflows; then apply the same enablement model with non-eng partners.
- Work with Engineering, Product, Design, Operations, and other leaders to choose the journeys and workflows worth automating first.
- Provide documentation, reference implementations, guardrails, and golden paths so teams can adopt without heroics.
- Raise the organizational bar for what “good” looks like in AI-assisted work. Software delivery first, then broader internal automation.
DEFINE STANDARDS, EVALUATIONS, AND RESPONSIBLE ADOPTION
- Introduce standards for AI tool usage, prompt/tool patterns, evaluation, data handling, and human-in-the-loop controls that work across Engineering and other internal domains.
- Build evaluation harnesses and quality metrics so we know when AI systems are helping—and when they are creating noise.
- Make pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions, favoring speed and leverage while investing in shared platform where it compounds company-wide.
- Stay current on emerging coding agents, workflow agents, eval methods, and enterprise AI tooling, and bring the best of the ecosystem into Benepass deliberately.
- Help Benepass adopt AI in a way that reduces toil, increases speed and coverage, and keeps humans firmly in control of quality and production outcomes.
ABOUT YOU
A FULL-STACK AI SYSTEMS BUILDER
- You’ve shipped end-to-end AI systems—agents, tools, retrieval, evals, integrations—not demos or notebooks.
- You blend off-the-shelf tools (e.g. Cursor-class agents) with custom platform where it compounds.
- You’re AI-native in your own workflow and clear-eyed about where the tools break.
- Biased to shipped leverage over endless POCs; honest about AI failure modes.
- Believes AI should augment people and raise quality bars, not replace judgment.
A STAFF-LEVEL PLATFORM LEADER
- Proven staff or equivalent cross-functional/platform impact; you still write code.
- You turn ambiguous 0→1 spaces into sequenced roadmaps with real adoption metrics.
- Background in full-stack, developer tools, and/or infra automation—you build paved roads teams actually use.
- You embed selectively, prove value, then productize patterns onto a shared platform.
- You partner across Engineering, Product, Design, and Operations without becoming a bottleneck.
- You measure success by adoption and outcomes, not tool count or novelty.
REQUIREMENTS
- Staff-level (or equivalent platform/cross-functional) impact shipping systems others depend on.
- Strong programming fundamentals (Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript preferred).
- Experience building internal platforms, developer tools, or automation integrated into CI/CD.
- Hands-on with modern AI systems: coding agents, LLM APIs, orchestration, and production operability.
- Experience enabling quality through automation (E2E/integration testing, intelligent quality gates).
- Solid systems instincts: APIs, permissions, observability, reliability.
- Clear communicator who can set standards and drive multi-team adoption.
- Bonus: agentic workflows, eval harnesses, RAG/knowledge systems, or ops/workflow automation beyond eng.
- Bonus: fintech/regulated domains, or 0→1 platform ownership at a growth-stage company.
COMPENSATION
Base salary of $190,000 to $220,000 + equity.
RANGE(S) IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BENEPASS TAKES A NUMBER OF FACTORS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN DETERMINING INDIVIDUAL STARTING PAY, INCLUDING MARKET COMPARABLES, INTERVIEW PERFORMANCE, PEER COMPENSATION, AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

Headquartered in New York. Learn more at repurpose.global.
\n
About the Role
rePurpose Global helps brands meet their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations across a fast-growing set of U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions, with expansion into global circular economy frameworks. Every defensible compliance filing relies on exact technical truth: precisely defining what a product is made of, then mapping those attributes directly into statutory rules. Dissecting complex BOMs, raw material specs, and material attributes across thousands of SKUs is the technical core of what we do.
As our Materials & Technical Compliance Engineer, you'll own that core. This is a hands-on material analysis role at heart: you'll break a product or packaging assembly down into its constituent materials, layers, and coatings; determine composition and weights — building the equivalent of a Full Material Disclosure (FMD) when suppliers can't provide one; and translate that into precise classification decisions grounded in the statutory text of each jurisdiction. You'll also help customers move their materials forward — modeling material switches, source-reduction options, and lower-fee alternatives grounded in design-for-circularity principles — and shaping the rules engine behind our proprietary compliance and material optimization platform. It's the meeting point of materials science, regulatory rigor, and applied analysis — engineered to flex across new physical material categories and regulatory regimes as they emerge.
You'll be the person who resolves the hardest classification and material questions no one else can, and who owns the classification logic that turns material facts into correct reports. You'll work alongside a product and engineering team who build the tools around this logic, serving as the technical authority who informs and grounds that work. Day-to-day, you'll own the technical calls that turn material facts into accurate, defensible reporting and audit-defensible filings.
Key Responsibilities
Analyze material composition & BOM structures. Break components down into their materials, layers, formulations, and coatings; determine resin, substrate, or compound types, percentages, and weights; and build defensible assumed compositions and material proxies when supplier specifications are incomplete or missing.
Make classification determinations grounded in regulation. Translate material composition into correct reporting classifications for each jurisdiction, reading and applying the relevant statutory and program definitions rather than generalizing across programs.
Model material recommendations for customers. Run material-switch, source-reduction, and fee-scenario analyses — identifying more recyclable, lower-fee, or reduced-material alternatives — and translate the tradeoffs (cost, physical performance, and eco-modulation rates) into guidance customers can act on.
Own the classification logic. Author and maintain the classification configuration (the routing rules that map material attributes to reporting categories) across jurisdictions, and modernize it as regulation and materials evolve.
Run rigorous quality control. Own schema conformance and a multi-pass QC process — checking for material and threshold errors, gaps, overlaps, and misroutes — and provide final technical sign-off on client deliverables.
Resolve the hardest technical questions. Serve as the deepest tier of the technical queue for escalated composition, classification, exemption, and mapping questions.
Shape our automated recommendation engine. Define the material science, threshold, and specification rules that power our platform's automated material suggestions and compliance routing.
Bridge materials science and platform logic. Supply the physical material and regulatory requirements the product and engineering team build against, translating material properties into structured rules for our platform engine. (Supporting the build, not managing it.)
Support bespoke material deep-dives. Serve as the home for in-depth, bespoke material analysis and technical recyclability/circularity evaluations for customers.
Requirements
A materials or engineering foundation. A degree and/or substantial hands-on background in a materials or engineering discipline — materials science, chemistry, plastics/polymer engineering, textile engineering, packaging science/engineering, industrial or mechanical engineering, or a related field.
Material analysis ability. The ability to reason about what products and materials are made of — resins, laminates, coatings, composites, synthetics, or multi-layer assemblies — how those materials behave, and how to estimate composition and weight when data is incomplete.
Analytical rigor and precision. Exceptional attention to detail and comfort owning precise, high-stakes analysis and quality-control work where small errors have real reporting and financial consequences.
A strong interest in policy and research. The temperament to ground technical decisions in regulatory text, and the diligence to research and defend a determination rather than guess.
Clear technical communication. The ability to translate material and regulatory analysis into requirements and explanations that product, engineering, and customer teams can act on.
Nice to Have
These are a plus, not a requirement — we welcome strong candidates who bring the core profile above.
Applied material domain expertise (strongly valued). Hands-on experience working with physical materials — as a raw material supplier, converter, chemical evaluator, or manufacturer — or deep familiarity with material characterization, specs, and processing methods. (Packaging expertise is a strong advantage given our immediate core, but candidates with polymer, textile, or chemical backgrounds are encouraged to apply.)
Technical tooling & automation. Comfort with data analysis, ERP structures, or technical software, plus hands-on scripting or automation experience (e.g., Python, SQL) to build, test, and streamline the workflows that scale this analysis.
EPR / sustainability exposure. Prior work in EPR, compliance, sustainability, or circular economy across the U.S. (e.g., state-level Producer Responsibility Laws), Canada (e.g., PRO programs), or Europe.
Lifecycle or recyclability analysis. Familiarity with life-cycle assessment (LCA), design-for-recyclability/circularity protocols, or recycled-content evaluation.
