Responsibilities

  • Embed with partner teams to deeply understand workflows, including shadowing and learning different job functions.
  • Scope, design, and deploy agents that take over real workflows across internal orgs.
  • Integrate agents with internal systems, APIs, and data sources.
  • Define evaluation frameworks, success metrics, and feedback loops to measure and improve agent performance.
  • Build shared tooling and contribute to playbooks that accelerate deployments, while owning reliability, adoption, and business impact.

Requirements

  • 4+ years in engineering, technical product/program management, applied AI, or a similar technical role, with a track record of shipping AI/automation systems to production.
  • Hands-on experience building with LLMs, agent frameworks, and tool-use patterns (e.g., MCP, function calling, RAG) across the full stack (data, APIs, orchestration, product).
  • Experience designing and optimizing SQL and/or NoSQL databases, including data modeling, query performance tuning, and schema design.
  • Strong ability to decompose human workflows into scalable, agentic systems, grounded in a deep curiosity for how people work.
  • High ownership and cross-functional influence, with the ability to quickly build trust across teams and seniority levels.

Bonus points

  • Experience automating back-office functions rather than just customer-facing AI features.
  • Experience with OpenClaw, Hermes, or other general-purpose agent harnesses.
