About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You explore what can be built on top of Joy_'s AI Commerce infrastructure, test it in the real world, and bring the winners into production. Hand in hand with the co-founders.
Explore new business models on top of our infrastructure.
You'll prototype, test, and validate new applications: creator commerce, loyalty redemption, embedded checkout, agent-powered platforms, and propositions nobody has built yet.
Bring promising ideas into production. From first test to repeatable playbook to live revenue.
Work hand in hand with the founders. You'll be in the room for the calls that matter: investor conversations, commercial strategy, product direction. Your perspective shapes how we move.
Build AI-enabled processes that scale us. Internal automation, content systems, ops workflows. Wherever AI gives us an edge, you build it.
Own creative initiatives end-to-end. Storytelling, brand, campaigns. If you have a strong instinct for what makes people care, you'll have room to use it.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Insane agency and ownership. You thrive in ambiguity and turn chaos into clarity.
Builder energy. You'd rather ship something rough than wait for permission. You enjoy figuring out unknowns.
AI-native instincts. You use the latest tools daily. You see where they break and where they unlock something new.
Commercial curiosity. You think in business models, not just features. You see a piece of tech and immediately ask "what could you sell with this?"
Creative confidence. You can write a script, sketch a campaign, and build a Notion doc in the same hour.
Affinity for aesthetics and design. You have an eye for what feels right and makes people smile.
Background that gives you a head start. Prior startup or consulting experience makes a real difference, so does a Master's from a top-tier business school. Neither is a requirement, but either accelerates the ramp.
Fluency in English is a must.

Benefits

Comp & perks

Ownership. Real projects, real outcomes, real impact on where the company goes.
Growth. Work on the frontier of AI Commerce alongside senior operators and engineers who've built and scaled before.
Autonomy. Remote-first with the freedom to work how you work best.
Meaningful equity. We want you to win with us.
Real impact. See what you build go live across product, campaigns, and customer touchpoints. Fast.
