Full Job Description
THE ROLE
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and storytelling. You'll ship production AI systems - walking into client codebases and delivering working AI workflows that change how organizations operate - while documenting the work publicly. You'll build with frontier AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor), own features end-to-end from architecture through deployment and client relationships, and turn what you learn into educational content for operators and founders. You'll lead customer workshops ranging from hackathons to function-specific training, and report directly to co-founder Alex Lieberman.

The emphasis is on production systems that run independently and on content that moves audiences from observers to operators.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
BUILD
• Ship real software and internal tools while documenting the process
• Walk into client codebases and deliver working AI workflows
• Design reliable, auditable agent systems with humans in the loop
• Ramp quickly into unfamiliar technology stacks
• Leverage agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and iterate on systems as they scale in production

CREATE & TEACH
• Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks explaining your builds
• Translate AI capabilities into actionable language for non-technical audiences
• Lead workshops and hackathons (minimum 2x/month) that move participants from observers to operators
• Test new models and tools as they release, with informed opinions
• Establish a repeating cycle of building, content creation, and workshops
• Share learnings across engagements to compound team impact

QUALIFICATIONS
• 3+ years shipping production software end-to-end, using AI coding tools in production
• Demonstrated ability to turn complex problems into scalable systems
• Regular use of AI coding tools in your workflow, with deep knowledge of the current AI landscape
• Ability to teach technical concepts, including to non-technical audiences
• Creator's instinct for identifying shareable moments and producing content end-to-end
• Strong operational discipline managing multiple projects and client workstreams
• Intellectual curiosity about the evolving AI landscape
• High ownership with a collaborative approach to raising team standards

BONUS
• Public work artifacts-open source, side projects, talks or writing on applied AI
• Experience shipping production agentic systems (not POCs)
• Experience creating content online
• A small, but mighty following online

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
• $240,000-$320,000 OTE
• Medical (PPO/HSA), dental, and vision coverage
• 100% employer-paid life insurance and disability coverage
• Commuter benefits
• Flexible PTO
