Lead Engineer, AI-Native Product Development

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.
