AI Engineer
What you'd be doing
Deploy into real, profitable businesses - healthcare, professional services, multi-site operators, manufacturers - often in a sector you don't know yet
Decompose an ambiguous problem: talk to the head of engineering and the person running the machine, pull the right threads, decide what to build
Build production AI that moves the P&L - agents, automation, integrations - not pilots or slide decks
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with CEOs, COOs, and operators
Turn each engagement into a repeatable playbook the next deployment can reuse
We're looking for
- You've shipped real software with LLMs and AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or comparable); strong in Python plus TypeScript, SQL, or scripting
- Strong systems thinker who maps a workflow end to end and sees where AI creates leverage
- Communicate as well with a non-technical operator as with an engineer
- Bonus: multi-site operations, professional services, or PE-backed / operator-adjacent experience
