Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role

  • This isn't a role about evaluating tools and writing decks.
  • Because this space moves every few weeks, you'll be the one deciding what's worth adopting and getting it into people's hands.
  • If you see manual processes as problems to engineer away, and have the range to do it, this role was built for you.

Responsibilities

  • We're building a future where customer experiences are being redefined from support tickets and hold music to faster resolutions, richer conversations, and deeper relationships.
  • It's a hands-on technical role: you'll own what you build and keep owning it, working directly with the people whose processes you're changing.
  • We partner closely across Finance, Accounting, People, Legal, and Sales to develop solutions in a meaningful way.
  • We execute and deliver at extremely fast velocity.
  • Own projects end to end, from requirements gathering and solution design through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
  • You build trust quickly with Finance, Accounting, Legal, and People, and can independently drive complex projects under ambiguity without needing formal authority to get things done.

Requirements

  • You have owned projects across the full lifecycle, from requirements gathering through deployment and ongoing maintenance.
  • You know when a workflow calls for an agentic/AI approach and when a deterministic pipeline is the better answer.
  • You have hands-on experience with AI-native coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and have used them to ship production solutions.

Nice to have

  • You've led AI acceleration / transformation initiatives - you know the common failure modes and how to avoid them.
  • You have hands-on GCP experience - Cloud Run, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub - and have built custom MCP servers, not just used them.
  • You've worked on billing or revenue systems, or been through an ERP implementation

Company info
