About You:You have built with LLMs and agents in production, and you understand what it takes to make them reliable - prompting, tool design, and the handoffs between people and AI. You are technically sharp and commercially curious - you want to understand why something matters to the business, not just what to build. You want a small team with outsized impact, direct exposure to leadership, and your fingerprints on how the whole company operates.
What skills do I need?- 5+ years of software experience with hands-on AI/LLM work, delivering AI solutions inside a company, or delivering them to clients in a consulting environment
- Hands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, agent frameworks, and RAG, built and shipped in production
- Comfort owning a full stack, including strong proficiency in TypeScript or similar and familiarity with API design and integration (RESTful services or similar)
- A track record of building internal tools that non-technical teams actually adopt - earning trust with business leads, getting to the root of operational problems, and knowing when to build versus buy
- Nice to have: production experience with AWS or GCP, modern CI/CD practices, and a working understanding of AI safety and security
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent working experience
Key Responsibilities:- Partner with business teams to identify the highest-leverage AI opportunities across Tulip, then co-design, build, and launch them
- Build and ship AI agents that non-technical teams love using, automating workflows and unlocking new team capabilities
- Translate messy business problems into clear, ROI-driven agentic solutions
- Help architect and build the agentic AI platform that powers Tulip internally, from foundational architecture and standards to secure, scalable integrations across our tech stack
- Track how agentic AI is developing outside Tulip and use that to shape our internal AI strategy
- Contribute to AI enablement across the company, including learning programs, coaching, and change management
Key Collaborators:- Engineering, Operations, and Go-To-Market teams
- Finance and People teams
- IT and Data leadership
