What You Need to Succeed

• The Rare Trifecta: This Role Requires a Combination Of All Three Business Process Strength, Engineering Mindset, and AI Expertise.
• Business Process Strength: Strong intuition for how a fast-paced organization operates, comfort with senior leaders, and clear communication on goals and tradeoffs.
• Engineering Mindset: Thinks in systems (inputs/outputs/failure modes), is fluent in APIs and data structures, and drives relentlessly for reliability and scalability.
• AI Expertise: Deep, hands-on understanding of modern AI models, knowing exactly where AI adds maximum leverage, and experience shipping AI into production workflows.

Core Background

• We are looking for hands-on experience in real, imperfect operating environments. Experience: Typically 4+ years of professional experience owning systems end-to-end. Demonstrated history of shipping solutions that other teams rely on daily.
• We Value: Consulting roles with implementation responsibility, internal tools/business systems teams, and experience in startup/scale-up environments.
• We Are Not Seeking: Pure ML research profiles, AI "evangelists" without execution depth, or product managers who do not build/implement.

Hard Qualifiers (Non-Negotiable)

• Experience building cross-functional business systems, not isolated tools.
• Ability to go from whiteboard concept to live, production workflow.
• Focus on business impact and ROI, not novelty for its own sake.
• Comfort pushing back on weak ideas, even with senior stakeholders.

Soft Qualifiers (Equally Important)

• Low ego and high ownership.
• Impatience with unnecessary process and wasted effort.
• Calm, structured thinking in ambiguous situations.
• Practical decision-making over "perfect" architecture.

Specific Skills & Expertise

• Must-Have: Proven track record in building cross-functional systems, strong familiarity with AI models, experience with automation platforms and APIs, and excellent communication.
• Nice-to-Have: Background in operations/consulting, experience with CRMs/data platforms, light scripting (Python/JavaScript).

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a research or theory role—this is about building.
• Not a departmental analyst—this is cross-functional.
• Not a pure software engineering role—this is business-driven systems building.
