About the role
- You will lead the deployment of our Generative AI infrastructure, moving beyond "support tickets" toward self-service automation and agentic resolution.
- Manage routing and orchestration for frontier models (Claude/Claude Code, Gemini, OpenAI) and open-source/distilled models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi) using tools like LiteLLM, AWS Bedrock, and n8n.
- Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and agentic workflows that integrate with our internal knowledge base to streamline operations.
- Enable the engineering team by integrating AI-driven CLIs and IDEs (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) directly into the daily workflow.

- Act as the integration engineer for our core stack (Salesforce, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Google Workspace, Pave). If it has an API, you will automate it.
- Wear a tin foil hat and partner with our internal Red Teams to implement Zero-Trust networking and secure build pipelines.
