About the role
- AI Discovery & Strategy
- Socialize AI capabilities, limitations, and roadmap across the org, acting as an internal resource and thought leader on what's possible.
- Maintain a prioritized backlog of AI opportunities across the business, triaging ideas from leadership, product, and operations into scoped, deliverable workstreams.
- Define AI initiatives end-to-end: problem framing, data requirements, build vs. buy decisions, and measurable success criteria.
- Stay current on the AI tooling landscape and recommend adoption where it meaningfully improves velocity, quality, or competitive positioning.
- Building & Delivery
- Build, integrate, and maintain AI-powered features and workflows, leveraging LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), RAG pipelines, and agentic frameworks.
- Develop automation workflows using low/no-code orchestration tools (n8n, Make) to deliver AI solutions rapidly without requiring full engineering cycles.
- Integrate AI capabilities into existing systems and codebases in close partnership with the product and engineering teams.
- Own the full AI development lifecycle, including prototyping, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration, with support from engineering, product, and operational teams.
- Cross-Functional Partnership
- Partner with product to translate user problems into AI-driven features and experiences.
- Embed within operations and business teams to identify workflow automation and efficiency opportunities.
- Collaborate with engineering to ensure AI integrations meet production standards for reliability, maintainability, and security.
- Document and communicate AI implementations clearly so the broader team can support and build on them.
Requirements
- 6+ years in software engineering with at least 2 years of focused experience building production AI or LLM-powered applications
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic workflow design. You are on the bleeding edge of the latest releases and advancements in AI platforms.
- Demonstrated experience evaluating, advocating, and operationalizing AI tooling across an organization
- Proficiency with low/no-code orchestration platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier) to prototype and deliver AI workflows rapidly
- Comfortable with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to accelerate build cycles, with the judgment to write clean, maintainable code when it matters. You are not a vibe coder; you leverage your engineering background to balance speed with quality using AI-based tooling.
- Strong backend or full-stack engineering fundamentals; you integrate AI into real systems, not just prototypes
- Fluency in Python, TypeScript/Node.js, or similar; familiarity with PostgreSQL and cloud deployment platforms (AWS, Vercel, or similar)
- Experience with multi-agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar)
- Familiarity with vector databases, embedding pipelines, and evaluation frameworks for LLM outputs
- Self-directed and comfortable operating as a team of one. You run your own backlog and don't need a fully defined spec to get started and validate business use cases
- Strong communicator who can translate technical AI concepts for non-technical stakeholders across the org.
