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
