VP R&D

SOURCIX · telaviv

The Role We’re looking for a VP R&D who knows how to lead teams, design systems, and deliver real products – fast. This is a senior leadership role with full ownership over architecture, team, and execution. You’ll be responsible for building and scaling the R&D organization behind SOURCIX’s next-generation AI-driven platform. You’ll work closely with the CEO, product, and business teams to turn complex ideas into scalable, production-ready systems—while building a team that can execute at high velocity. This role requires strong technical judgment, hands-on understanding, and leadership maturity. About SOURCIX SOURCIX is building an AI-native platform for custom mechanical procurement – a space still largely driven by manual workflows, fragmented supplier networks, and slow decision-making. Our system analyzes production files (CAD, drawings, specs), understands manufacturing requirements, and matches them with the most suitable suppliers using machine learning and large-scale data models. Beyond matching, we provide real-time pricing insights, multi-offer optimization, and continuous feedback loops that improve outcomes over time. We’re not building a marketplace. We’re building a self-improving decision engine for manufacturing. Founded by a technical team with deep experience in mechanical engineering, CNC, and high-pressure R&D environments Combining AI/ML, LLMs, and domain-specific data to solve real industrial problems Building toward a system that learns from every transaction and continuously improves pricing, matching, and supplier performance We’ve already validated core workflows and are now building the next-generation platform from scratch – AI-first, scalable, and built for speed. Responsibilities Leadership & Strategy Define and lead the R&D vision for SOURCIX’s next-generation platform Build and manage a high-performing, hands-on engineering team (full-stack, AI, data) Drive a culture of speed, ownership, and product-first execution Translate business goals into clear technical strategy and execution Own the full development lifecycle – from idea to production Architecture & Development Design and lead the architecture of AI-native systems and scalable SaaS platforms Build systems that combine: LLM-based workflows Internal / self-trained models Data pipelines and feedback loops Ensure scalability, reliability, and performance from day one Make critical decisions on tech stack, infrastructure, and system design AI & “Vibe Coding” Approach Implement modern development workflows using AI tools (LLMs, copilots, agents) Build systems that generate, evaluate, and improve themselves over time Drive rapid experimentation and tight iteration cycles Integrate AI deeply into both the product and the development process Product & Execution Work closely with product to define and ship high-impact features quickly Balance speed vs. quality – ship fast, but build systems that last Turn complex manufacturing and procurement problems into simple, usable products Continuously improve the system using real-world data and feedback loops Collaboration Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and business teams Communicate technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders Lead hiring, mentoring, and scaling of the R&D team Requirements 10+ years of software development experience, with 6+ years in leadership Strong hands-on experience building and scaling complex systems Proven experience leading full-stack teams (frontend, backend, infra) Deep understanding of system architecture, APIs, and data flows Experience with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or data-driven platforms Ability to move fast, make decisions, and operate in uncertainty Strong ownership mindset – builder, not just manager Nice to Have Experience building AI-native products or developer tools Background in marketplaces, SaaS platforms, or complex workflows Experience with self-learning systems, feedback loops, or model training Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc.) Experience in manufacturing, procurement, or industrial domains What We’re Looking For A builder-leader – still codes, leads by doing Someone who thrives in ambiguity and creates structure Strong product intuition – not just engineering execution Obsession with speed and iteration Curiosity to stay at the cutting edge of AI and modern development Why Join SOURCIX Lead the R&D of a platform solving real-world industrial problems with AI Join a company with real traction—funded, generating revenue, and growing Work on systems that combine data, AI, and physical-world complexity Build and scale a team and platform from an early stage This is not about maintaining systems. This is about building something fundamentally new – fast.
