Vice President of Engineering

Overview

Enterprise AI for Everyone, Not Just Engineers

Founding VP of Engineering

Peach Pilot is an enterprise AI operating system. The platform deploys interconnected AI agents into enterprise workflows, agents that share context, coordinate across functions, and compound in intelligence over time. We frame AI as a collaborator that augments human capability, not a tool that replaces it.

95% of enterprise AI pilots fail. The failure is not technical. It is human. Employees don’t trust AI output. They ignore it, redo the work manually, or resist quietly. Every AI vendor sells capability. Nobody sells trust and adoption. Peach Pilot does.

Peach Pilot is a fully independent, funded startup headquartered in Buckhead, Atlanta. Co-Founded by Mario Montag (CEO, previously founded Predikto, an ML company acquired by a Fortune 50 with enterprise customers including Pratt & Whitney, GE, Siemens, and Maersk; former McKinsey and PwC) and JP James (Co-Founder, Chairman of Hive Financial Assets, Georgia TITAN 100, teaches AI at Georgia Tech, and has scaled multiple companies to $100M+ in revenue).

The technology was never the problem. Adoption is the problem. The companies that figure out how to make their people trust and use AI will win. The ones that don’t will keep buying pilots that fail.

This is a founding hire. You will be the first engineering leader at Peach Pilot, joining the founding team alongside engineers and architects who are already building the platform. We have started building, but we are in the very early days. You will bring co-founder-level impact, equity, and accountability. You report directly to the CEO. There are no legacy systems to untangle, no bureaucratic layers to navigate, and no ambiguity about impact.

The platform you build will be the platform.

We need a builder who has done this before. You have taken a platform from zero to one. Not maintained an existing one, not optimized an inherited codebase, but built something from nothing and scaled it. You understand that at an early-stage company, the VP of Engineering writes code in the morning, interviews candidates at lunch, and debates architecture with the CEO in the afternoon.

You are energized by that, not exhausted by it.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from a distance. In the first six months, you will be the most prolific technical contributor on the team while simultaneously building the team around you. The right person sees that as the opportunity, not the obstacle.

• You are joining a proven founder’s second company. Mario built, scaled, and exited an ML company to a Fortune 50. This is not a first-time founder learning on the job. This is a repeat founder with enterprise sales muscle, domain expertise, and investor relationships already in place.
• The co-founding team brings deep operating experience. JP James teaches AI at Georgia Tech, has scaled multiple companies to $100M+ in revenue, and brings deep fintech relationships across insurance, payments, and lending. You are joining a founding team that already has the domain credibility and network to open enterprise doors.
• You’ll build against real systems from day one. Through strategic relationships with sister companies in insurance, payments, lending, and financial systems, you have direct access to production data, live workflows, domain experts, and real compliance requirements. No waiting months for a design partner.
• The core IP is behavioral, not just technical. Peach Pilot’s differentiation is the psychology of trust extraction, progressive engagement, and communication adaptation, not the orchestration layer itself (every major tech company will build one). You’ll own the technical systems that make behavioral intelligence possible at scale.
• The platform is tool-agnostic by design. AI tools change every 6 to 12 months. The architecture you build must survive platform migrations through portable context files and knowledge graphs. You’re building infrastructure that outlasts any single vendor.
• The domain is hard, and that’s the point. Enterprises where compliance isn’t optional, where hallucination is…
