Tech Stack

About the role

  • Build across both layers of the fleet — Layer 1: agents that run autonomously without rep involvement.
  • Identify what to build and make the case for it.
  • Test, measure, and iterate.
  • Mine call transcripts for agent inputs.
  • Document and maintain what you ship.

Requirements

  • A degree from an Ivy League or equivalent top-tier university — computer science, data science, economics, mathematics, or a field that taught you to think in systems.
  • You have built an AI agent or automated workflow — not a class project. Something you designed, built, and iterated on because you wanted to see if it would work.
  • Technical capability to build: you have used LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or equivalent), built prompt architectures, and connected systems together. Python or equivalent.
  • Commercial curiosity. You read about how businesses make money. You ask why something converts and why something else doesn’t.
  • Rigor with data. You do not accept a number without understanding where it came from.
